Last week Cam received Principal's Pride award for his reading and comprehension. That is definitely not his favorite subject in school, but he excels at it.
It's fun to watch him grow and learn new things. Cam is a very intelligent kid. Hopefully he will use his brain during his teenage years...lol
A couple of weekends ago we had a Bridal Shower for my little sister Sarah. It was a lot of fun to plan it with Jenn and Camilla.
Sarah is so organized and on top of things, we wanted to surprise her. We didn't tell her anything we were doing, it was hard to not say anything. I have a really hard time with keeping surprises. I get really excited and want to tell them everything!
Sarah's friends and Clayton's family came. It was nice to meet all of them.
We asked Clayton a bunch of random questions and recorded his answers. We asked Sarah the same questions and watched Clayton's answers. It was really fun to see how well the knew each other. My favorite one was when we asked Clayton what his biggest accomplishment in life had been, he said it was asking Sarah to marry him...awww :)
I'm so happy for them! They are such a cute couple.
Izzy is playing soccer again. It's so fun to watch her! She's still a little afraid of the ball. She tells me, she doesn't want to get hurt. She's kicking the ball a few times during the game, and running with all the other kids. At this age, they still all run together in a big cluster. It's pretty funny!
Spring Baseball is here again. This year Cam is playing for the Mariners. He loves playing! His coach is a little too competitive. So for the month prior to games starting, Cam had practice for 2 hours, 5 nights a week! A little excessive...but what can you do??? We don't want him to be benched because he didn't go to practice.
Now that games have started, he has 2 games a week, and practices on the other nights. He's enjoying it. Amos and I really like watching him play. He's getting better and better. 
Cam and Izzy's piano teacher encourages her students to participate in different competitions throughout the year. Last weekend we had the Federation Festival.
The kids have been practicing their songs for a few months now. A couple of weeks ago they had a recital in preparation for it. Izzy was so nervous that she forgot one of her songs!
After that happened she became more anxious for the festival. I was just as nervous for them. There are 3 judges watching them. It's quite intimidating.
Anyway, they both did great and received Superior ratings!
Izzy told me her stomach felt really weird before playing. She almost started crying. But after playing she felt great!
It's a lot of fun to watch them perform and get better each year. 
Yesterday we celebrated cute little Daniel's 2nd Bday. All the kids had a great time rollerblading and jumping around.
For some reason Daniel didn't want to pose for pictures. He kept turning his face, pretending to be shy.
Sarah, Jenn, and I were a little bored! Playing with brigadeiros and beijinhos sounded fun. I feel bad for Alex and Cristina...they have a lot of pictures on their camera of our boredom...lol
I can't believe he's 2 already! He's so cute, and happy. Cam and Izzy both love playing with him.
Yesterday Clayton's mom, Maxine, invited all the girls in my family to lunch at her house. It was fun to go out with my sisters, mom, Izzy, and Crystal. We always have a really good time when we're together.
Maxine was so cute. She had a delicious lunch prepared for us. Izzy loved all the M&M's dishes throughout the house. She also love the lizard skin Clayton has from the time he spent in Ghana.
Maxine, Sarah, and my mom.
All the girls together. I love Izzy and Crystal's pose! They are so fun together.
