SPORTS CAMP

Since the girl was 5, she's been going to Hope Fellowship Sport Camp.
It is organized by the Hope Fellowship Church here in Covington.

I swear almost every kid in the Maple Valley/Covington area shows up.
Must be around 1,0000 kids here and that is no joke.

Not bad for $15.00 for the whole week and 2 1/2 hours each day. It is
really, really well organized, non-competitive fun and the kids have a
blast.

Although I had signed Mim up to be on Erin's team, she was put on a
different team. Erin, Zoe and Halliwell are on the same team. Mimi
thought that she would not know anyone until she found out that Tessa
from her gymnastic team is on her sport team. They are the Blue 2's.

I keep meanning to update our blog but ever since coming home it has been one activity after another. When I have the time, I just don't have the energy and vice versa.

Just came home from a whirlwind of a trip to Long Beach, California. We saw friends, family and Disneyland. Will post pictures later. Left on last Thursday and came home this past Monday. My plants did prettty well. Krista only killed off two of my Fuschias. Hopefully I will be able to revive them. Now it is back to work, piano lessons, gymnastics, karate and sports camp for this week only. Phew!!!

Butch and Stanley did pretty good too. However somewhere along the line Butch got a bit of an eye infection so now it is antibiotgic time for him.

Oops! Just noticed the time. Gotta go and pick up Mimi from gymnastics, give her a quick dinner of fried rice and leftovers, then on to sports camp. Later this evening we have a team parent meeting back at the gym. I tell you, the older she gets, the busier.

DILLY BARS

There is no doubt about it, Mimi absolutely loves ice cream. During
karate practice tonight, her Sensei said that next week he will test
her because
he feels that she is ready to move up to a yellow belt. That's our
Karate Kid for ya'!

GOTTA LOVE THESE NUMBERS

MORE FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION

Every year Mimi and Erin have celebrated the fourth of July together. Why should this year be any different? When the celebration was done at the park, we headed for home and met up with Halliwell and her family plus our new neighbors the Crawfords. So pictured with Mimi and Halliwell is Shad (short for Shadow). According to Brandy, Shad may give Mimi a run for her money.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY

A couple of days ago Mimi started to not feel well and when she says she doesn't feel well, she's telling the truth. Long story short, she was feeling much better today. Enogh so she was able to participate in our neighborhood celebration. Actually the fireworks have been going on ALL WEEK LONG. Fortunately for us, it did not affect our Butch and Stanley very much. Must be the windows of our house cause if they are closed, we don't get much of the loud noises. This video is just a sample of what has been going on in the whole neighborhood. We can also see the fireworks in our backyard from the neighborhoods across the other side of Glacier Park Elementary School.

THIS IS WHAT WAITING AT URGENT CARE WILL DO TO YOU
