Kindergarten!

She's officially a Kindergartener!  Stella has really loved her first 2 weeks of Kindergarten.  She loves getting on the bus every morning and seems to be meeting new friends and enjoying herself a lot. She really loves her teacher, Mrs. Edwins. We are so proud of her!

Amazon Company Picnic 2013

This year the Amazon Company Picnic was truly unbelievable.  It was held at Century Link Stadium and included a Barbie House, magic shows, puppet shows, arts & crafts, food, drinks, bands, games, bouncy houses and so on and so forth.  We all had a blast!

Going, Going, Gone

She fought it hard, but in the end sleepiness took over.  Stay tuned to find out what caused Maia to pass out in the car recently.

Runway Stars

The girls worked it on the Barbie runway at the Barbie House during Amazon's Annual Company Picnic.  So classic.

Kindergarten Countdown is ON!

Only about 3 more weeks until Stella starts Kindergarten!  So hard to believe.  She is so excited it's truly adorable.  We had the chance to "Ride the Bus" this week so the Kindergarteners can get comfortable on the school bus and learn the rules etc.  Ever since we did this Stella has been waking up every morning asking when Kindergarten starts.  Let's just hope the excitement continues!

Visiting Daddy at Work

The girls are always so curious about where Daddy goes all day for "work" and what he does there.  So we took an adventure and went to see Stefano's work in Seattle.  First we had a fun lunch and then the girls got to visit Amazon and were thrilled to see Daddy's desk area.  And then the best part was that they both passed out in the car on the way home :)

Maia's Best Friend

Milk. Milky.  Latte.  However you call it, we call it Maia's best friend.  Here's Maia consuming her favorite drink on our recent trip to CA. 

Summer Trip to CA

 Our trip started out like this (above)......

And ended up like this (above).  I'm starting to think these girls think it's normal to always be able to greet the pilots and enter the cockpit on a flight.  Lucky girls!

Summer Fun with Friends

We are so grateful for good friends and sunshine!  The girls had so much fun playing with their buddies last weekend.

Last Day of School!

 

So hard to believe this school year is already over.  We had such an amazing year at Evergreen and the girls were sad that school was done.  They were excited to take photos with all their teachers and it's a good thing they will be going there for camp next week or there would have been some tears.  Can't believe we have a Kindergartener in our home now!

Gardening with Grandco

 

The girls had a great time planting flowers with Grandoco & Zio last week!

Zio Visits!

 

All of us, but the girls especially, loved having Zio David come visit from Idaho last week!  The girls can't get enough time with him and we had loads of fun playing dragon, doing morning yoga, swimming and boating.  Can't wait for his next visit.  We love you Zio David!

End of Soccer Session

 

Stella finished her latest Lil Kickers session last week and had a blast!  She LOVED Coaches Phil & Kyle and made a good friend with Alex. The last day of the session was "Play with your Parent" Day so Stella & I had lots of fun kicking the ball together. She even got to monkey around with her good friend Hudson who was playing at the same time as her. She is super excited to start the Summer Session soon.

School Photos Take Two

The girls school took another set of school photos and they turned out fabulous!  Here's a peek at a couple of them.  And yes (mom and dad), I have copies of them for you :)
