Happy birthday Grammy and Odin

Mom turned 85, Odin turned 4, we all celebrated with a party at the lake.

Fishing at Sylvia Lake

College bound

Ok...we have a college student. Kenzie is officially enrolled full time in Bellevue College next year. She withdrew from all her high school classes and will get her high school degree and associates degree in two years. She’s 15, we thought we had a little bit longer til this day happened. We are dealing just fine, kinda.

Anything for a hat

Just found this from our Christmas Thailand trip -

Gabi's sixteenth birthday.

Suit swagger

For a business deal I got a free made-to-measure suit. I let Mason have the experience since he has a few formal events coming up this year. He loves it. Loooooves it. This boy may never be the same.

Last fourth grade recorder concert!

It was Ermias' turn for his fourth grade recorder concert! It was actually very cute and very fast. Each year I think they shave off about 3 minutes. 

None of his pants fit him so shorts it was.

Alki

Anybody else notice that Mason is getting dangerously close to his sister's height? She should stand up tall while it still matters.

And then the obligatory selfie.

working hard at the beach

Another typical weekend...

Monopoly in the sun

Midnight shrimping

I left for work and asked what was going on. About 3 hours later Cindy sent me this picture. Nobody had moved.

Sunny day at the Center

WE Days 2018

Our friend Don that we met in Thailand was a speaker at WE Day in Seattle and got us VIP tickets. We brought Gabi with us this year and got to meet Muhammad Ali's daughter Rasheda Ali.

Party time

Kenzie's friend had a quinciniera and invited both her and Mason. Here they are with Kenzie's friend Tom, plus Wil and Gabi.
