May ~ Emily tried out and made the level 4 competitive gymnastics team at FlightSchool gymnastics. She has diligently worked hard all year long with the end goal being team tryouts and when the day finally came she was incredibly excited. She rocked all of her skills but that pesky front hip circle. Try, try and try again .... She did fabulous and is very excited for competition season to begin.
June ~ The girls finished school with excellent report cards. Emily is now officially a 4th grader, Graci is entering 1st grade and Jillian will complete her last year in preschool. Wow, 1 year away from everyone being in elementary school together. Crazy!! Emily, turned 9 years on the 5th and had a very fun rock climbing party with many of her friends. She reminds me weekly that next year she will be double digits at 10 yr. Seriously, it blows my mind.
On the 17th of June we celebrated my Grandpa's 80th birthday by letting off balloons in the sky and singing Happy Birthday. He went home to be with the Lord in February of this year and our world has never quite been the same. A piece of my heart and soul went with him the day he died and the healing process for myself has been unimagineably hard. He truly was a man to admire, emmulate and laugh at his stubborness.
July ~ The girls all walked in the Hillsboro 4th of July parade representing their gymnastics team. They had a great time and we enjoyed spending the evening watching a fun display of fireworks with friends. Dave's middleschool camp came and went in the middle of the month and it was a lot of fun up in Everett, WA. About 100 middleschools attended and were impacted by a dynamic speaker, Marshall, from Bridgetown Ministries.
August ~ Emily and Grace partcipated in a gymnastics TOPs testing this past weekend and did awesome. It was a neat chance for them to experience what all of their hardwork has gone towards and also learn what they need to continue to develop.
~My goal is to get back to posting once a week and the month of August will hopefully bring a lot of end of the summer fun. Wedding, camping, pictures, birthday's, anniversary, re-decorating, it will be fun but adventurous as we fit everything into the next few weeks before the routine of school begins.
