Last but not Least...see ya Cunha Middle School!

It happened.
The last born has completed middle school.
I don't know who was more excited about this....him or us? 
hahaha



His good friend Lane
Chester's selfie with Mr. Murray and good friend Naelson :)
He had Mr. Murray for homeroom, STEAM and Science. 
He's the best!
We hollered when his name was announced. 
He told us he didn't hear us....ha.
Chester received the Top 10 Academic Award in his grade for pulling straight A's all 3 years! him and a friend were the only 2 boys in the group and both are football players. 
He said he liked contradicting the stereotype of an athlete:)
And special occasions call for a 
Taco Bell Cantina night:)




Home for brownie sundaes and a couple of presents.
He has accomplished much in our new town and tried so many new things from surfing to voice lessons to mountain biking to being obsessed with our local card shop where everyone knows his name:)
Each morning I have enjoyed driving him to school in our guaranteed alone time. Talking or laughing or just being tired together...and he picks out great morning music too!
 I have loved watching how friends catch up to him as they all walk into school chatting and dabbing each other up. He has grown up so much and has achieved academically. 
He is definitely ready of high school!
So many things he still wants to try:)
Heaven help Clay if he plays baseball. 
ha
A great picture of everyone after we resumed our last day of school movie tradition 
(except maybe I thought we were done taking the picture haha).
 We scooped handfuls of popcorn and slurped icees while watching
 Spiderman: Across the Universe. 

What a happy day this was:)

Sports Mom Era

I think I saw this coming but maybe I didn't really see this coming:) I am a sports mom. Plain and simple. I had other hats too like library mom, classroom aid mom, costumes for musicals mom, outdoorsy hiking mom, musical mom, jazz band mom, tech crew mom, art mom, spring break mom, etc etc etc But sports mom has been a pretty big theme in my life:) So, in honor of my Dad's birthday today and his absolute love of sports, I share this to save the memoires.  Because one day, it will be just that, sweet and crazy sports mom era memories:) Okay, so I love JV games because the weather at 4pm in the Bay Area and even coast side was amazing last year. Tee shirt and jeans? Heavenly  Fall 2024 (he already looks different) Friday morning fits Becky Ruppel photography↑ In the middle of football season lies the beast of the high school basketball pancake breakfast. It was actually fun to serve all of the people coming through... even the complainers...haha Homecoming! And nothing better t...

February 2019: Queen of Hearts

                                                                            💘 February is a mix of triumph over January and the heart filled cooler days until March. It's like the happy bridge to spring. But I live in a place right now where winter kind of feels  like a Colorado spring.  We even got snow the other day here! Turning a Nike shoe box into a valentine collector Chester's homemade class valentines :) Audrey's socks given to her by her sunday school teachers! She is kind of the queen of February On Valentine's day Chester's class was invited to make lunch and decorate at the Santa Clarita Valley food services for both elementary school districts. It was a big honor, only one class out of the 4 districts it services was chosen by lottery....
