A lot of things happened since our last post. My brother and I graduated and received our bachelor's degree from the University of Washington. It made it special because the kids were able to witness me finish school. I was able to show them the importance of going to school. It was a struggle juggling church choir, full time work, school and the kids sports activities but it was all worth it.

Ever since Kianna joined the soccer club, she has enjoyed the competition and especially the friends she's made. During the summer the team went to Yakima for a weekend tournament. The team stayed at a hotel and they had lots of activities from water balloon toss to swimming to having a picnic. Kianna's team placed 2nd in the tournament!

We had a Gonzales family outing to Tillicum Village on Blake Island. The food was fantastic from the appetizer clams to the main dish, salmon. The best part was exploring the island. The beaches were so beautiful with Mount Rainier in the background. After the boat ride back to Seattle waterfront, we were being tourists and visited the gum wall. It was the first time the girls seen the attraction. It was pretty grouse and sticky.

We also had adventures with the Valdez cousins. We went to Point Defiance Zoo for a day and had a picnic at the zoo. The kids saw the new tiger cub, fed the birds and saw not one but two polar bears!
