X-Ambassadors Show with Amy

 Amy and I went down to the Showbox on the spur of the moment last week to catch the X-Ambassadors show. They really bring the energy to the live performance and get the crowd involved. It was so much to fun to watch musicians loving what they do and doing it so well!

Fall Pep Assembly and Friday Night Lights!

 We had an ELECTRIC Fall Pep Assembly to kick off our year! It was fun watching Charlotte and the Flag Team turn on the black lights and get the crowd going! What a great school to be part of! It was also our first Friday Night Home Football Game with Charlotte performing with Flags. Edison was out on the track with Drew while Drew was taking pictures. It was fun to be on the field to watch Charlotte!

SEPTEMBER: Start of School!

 Back to work and very busy to get ready for the start of school. Charlotte's first Flag Team performance at New Student Kick Off. First Day of School Pictures: Year 23 as an educator for me, doing what I love as the Activity Coordinator at Shorecrest. Sophomore year at Shorecrest for Charlotte! We got a second day of school picture of the boys: Edison is starting Junior year and Reed is now at Kellogg Middle School for 6th Grade. Charlotte also had her first swim meet of the season and did awesome and got best times in the 200 IM & 50 BR. The captains are leading the team in all the fun traditions and cheers and bonding. I got to see my former Cascade High School coach, Chris Erickson, who is the Kamiak coach.

Labor Day Weekend: Reed's 12th Birthday Ellensburg Rodeo and Swim Across the Lake

For Labor Day Weekend, the kids and I went to the Ellensburg Rodeo and Kittitas County Fair. I used to go every year with Nana and my cousins Jason and camp at the KOA. It was fun to take a walk down memory lane, share this with my kids, and see the rodeo! We also did a quick tour of Central Washington University's campus. Reed turned 12 and we celebrated at Red Robin and at home! We wrapped up the weekend with the Sheridan Beach Annual Swim Across the Lake. Reed and I swam it and Charlotte was our paddle support. Edison had to work that morning and sadly wasn't able to beat all of us across the lake.
