State Reflections Award - Kaiya

Kaiya entered the PTA Reflections contest for dance choreography and won from the school. She then won 1st in Districts and then she went to State and won the Award of Excellence. Very few kids win a state award and it was quite an honor! The awards ceremony took place in Bellevue at the Hyatt.

They had a photo booth set up which was fun!

Afterwards we celebrated at Dairy Queen

Her metal she received

Very proud of her hard work!

My Cousins

The 3 of us haven't been together what seems forever ago! We made plans to meet for dinner and it actually happened. Everything came together perfectly. I love these girls and I miss them! Glad that we could all be together again. Already looking forward to doing it again soon.

Greg's Japanese Auto Commercial

We got back from AGT and that weekend Kaiya was in a commercial shoot. It was her 1st one! Very exciting. She was in a small group of 5 who tap danced and then at the end of the commercial with everyone. It was a long but super fun day.

Here are some pictures I took from behind the scene. These commercials are running right now thru Comcast.

We took a break and went to lunch

Jett at the Dog Spa

Kaiya and Jett love to play together. He was a puppy (notice the spot on his eye) and the puppy went to a spa. He had his head wrapped in a towel, a robe,  some wipes on his legs and sat him in front of the fire. Those 2 crack me up.

Easter Day

The kids woke up with goodies from the Easter Bunny

Yipee!

Cannon was ready for the hunt.

The Easter bunny tried to get stuff the kids actually like and will use rather than a bunch of junk food and candy!

They had a Easter egg hunt and all got a lot of eggs.

Then it was time to eat the stuff inside!

And feed some to Momma

After church we went to my parents house for dinner. 

Emily and Ben came also...

The boys played on the trampoline with chalk. They got their nice clothes super dirty but at least they were having fun together. Right?

Casey was there that evening. It was good to see him again!

Meema knows what Cannon likes!
