I know, I know, it's been a bit since I've posted. I'm not 100% sure why but I guess it doesn't matter since I'm getting around to it now!! :o) That's my theory anyways!
I know that most of you know the story that's about to follow but I think that there are still a couple of people out there that don't know so here it goes....
This goes all the way back to State Competition for Destination Imagination on March 28. Both Katie and Emily's team qualified to compete there.
We headed off on Friday morning and made our usual lunch stop in Leavenworth, WA. It's very pretty and fun place to stop. It's a German themed town and there are tons of stores to explore. The weather was totally different this year. Last year the snow was coming down and this year it was just beautiful!

We got up bright and early on Saturday to catch all of our town's teams compete. Here's Katie's team. They did very well but unfortunately Katie is not Tennessee bound this year. Her team placed fifth. She took it very well and I was proud of her.


FIRST Place!!



She was just the right size for these kids that were 2 years younger!! She played Goalie for a bit and the middle picture shows both Katie and Emily playing together in the same game ~ that never happens!!

Over Spring Break, Gord's sister Cathy was kind enough to offer to watch the girls. I think that she enjoys hanging with them and they certainly enjoy getting spoiled by her! There was only a little drama on the second night, Emily had to end up waking Auntie Cathy up because she (Emily) was throwing up all over the place. I bet Auntie Cathy was really glad that she offered to watch them at that point!!! LOL
Here is a picture that was sent to me after they asked if Uncle Malcolm could show them how to chop wood. Emily kept saying that she really didn't think it was a good idea!
No Katie's were harmed in the taking of this picture!!



I bought some bubbles and Katie was having fun playing with them!







The next two are taken one right after the other. She starts to kick it here...

Holy moly girl ... you really were behind! lol Glad you are finally caught up. Until tomorrow that is ... then you'll be behind again. :) Glad to see all the pics of the girls ... I really like the collage of Katie. It's really a shame she doesn't like to have her picture taken ... ha!
I LOVe the middle pic of Emily (as you do) and you got some great shots of the girls playing soccer.
