Official Sounders Fans

A Sunday night game in the rain...

Mason brought a couple of friends as a birthday present. 




Glam Shots

We had a wedding last night, so got all glammed up. They were arguing with each other and I had to threaten them to smile, but we got a couple of shots!






First golf

This is the first year that Mason has played in the annual Bolam golf tournament, and his first time around a golf course. He loved it -- and yes, I think we have a new sport.

Attitude and effort--Coach Michael

This is two questions out of Masons soccer eval...the two we care most about!

Dinner time

While we went to the hospital Kenzie went out to dinner for a friend's birthday. Somebody's growing up...

Love and Gatoraide

As soon as Mason found out Lauren was sick he rushed to grab her favorite color Gatoraide "because she needs electrolytes." Sending love....all on his own.

Cooks

The boys wanted to help me make dessert tonight. I told them "no flour on your shirts" and turned around to see this. Saving this one for the high school yearbook.

More celebration

To celebrate Mason's ninth birthday, a bunch of his friends came over to play soccer, have a water balloon fight, then go to frozen yogurt. Again this year we lucked out with good weather, and the kids got to run free in the yard--or sit freely, as the case may be.
This year Mason decided that he preferred to collect soccer balls and donations for Ethiopia instead of presents. He collected two garbage cans full of balls, and a nice note from David and Daniel thanking him for thinking of the kids in Ethiopia. When we hand them out we promised to take pictures for Mason and make sure that the kids in the orphanage knew they are from him.

Carrie and Puyallup

Last Christmas I bought Cindy and Kenzie tickets to see Carrie Underwood tonight at the Puyallup fair. Kenzie got one extra ticket and brought Gabi. The girls went to the concert while Randy and his boys joined Mason, Finn and me for a night of rides! The lines were surprisingly short. The boys each won a soccer ball with one kick each, so they were each content with a ball and rides.

Funny essay

What is going on?

Mason battled with this kid the whole game. It wasn't until we looked back at the pictures that we noticed the rest of the kids in the shot.
