This year was Jackson's official first year as a hunter! He has been a few times already with Daddy in the blind, but this year was his turn pulling the trigger.<br />
<br />
Hunting season started out with a bit of disappointment for Jackson. During youth weekend, he never had an opportunity to shoot. It was a great learning experience for him though. After all, the true definition of "hunting" does not always guarantee a shot. But boy, was he disappointed. In fact, after coming home from the weekend away, he was pretty down. But, it wasn't until I tucked him in for bed that the tears started rolling down. It was a little over an hour before I could settle him down to sleep! And, the irony of this situation is not lost on me...his "city girl" mama is the one consoling him on a disappointing weekend in the woods? We were both exhausted by the end of the night!<br />
<br />
So this scenario really kicked Daddy into high gear, feeling pressure to make a good hunt happen for Jackson. He went down and set up another deer blind to give them more opportunities to hunt in different places. And well.....it was a success! So much so that he was able to shoot not one but two deer in a row! But I'll be honest, the details of this story (although I have heard them at least a handful of times) are a little fuzzy from here. They will forever be etched in the brains of Daddy and Jackson though, and that's all that matters. This boy is still on cloud 9...and the fact that he has literally provided 94 lbs. of ground burger for our family is puffing his chest up even more :). We're proud of your perseverance, Jackson!<br />

This was not only our first family ski trip, but also our first trip to Colorado as a family. I'm still amazed with how well the trip went....the 11 hour drive with the kids (probably my biggest concern, honestly), ski lessons (an entire day apart from Mom & Dad and in the care of a ski instructor), and elevation/altitude sickness (this was a bit of an issue for some of us, but manageable).<br />
I should not be as surprised as I am, I know. Our kids have always been amazing travelers and enjoy new adventures!<br />
<br />
Ski lessons were fantastic! We dropped the kids off at 8:30am for a group lesson and upon picking them up at 2:30pm, found out they were the only beginners so they had a private lesson! Typically, the kids stay in a special area at the bottom of the mountain and venture the chair lift at the end of the day. The instructor said our kids caught on so quickly, they were on the lift before lunch and had been skiing down runs all afternoon! Dad and I were so impressed with their aptitude in learning and how much they enjoyed it.<br />
<br />
Day 2 resulted in Jackson and Dad opening and closing the lift! Jackson was like a little skiing machine. In fact, one time off the lift, we lost him! Since I'm a snowboarder, I have to attach my second binding at the top of every lift before heading down. Skiiers are already clicked in and ready to go. Jackson did not pay attention to the fact that everyone had stopped to wait for me, and he just kept on going! By the time we realized he was missing, he was half way down the mountain! Dad took off and caught up to him. This was terrifying at the time, but now makes for a great story :).<br />
<br />
Lily was a natural as well. From the moment we left the house, she was fired up to get on the slopes. This attitude of determination stayed with her the entire trip! Day 2 for the ladies was a gondola ride to downtown Breckenridge for some shopping in the morning, and back up for a half day of skiing in the afternoon. We had the best of both worlds!<br />
<br />
This trip definitely created a new love for our family. We are hoping to make this an annual event!<br />
<br />
Thank you, Grandma & Grandpa!<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lily's 4th grade was challenged by their Media teacher to make arcade games completely out of cardboard. They spent over a month designing and constructing their game. Lily and her friend Hadley were the perfect team- Hadley the architect and Lily the designer :). They even included prizes for their skee-ball-type game, so it goes without saying that it was a hit!<br />Their demonstration occurred while Dad and I were in NYC so Grandma & Grandpa B. went over to check it out! So glad they did. It made her day :)</td></tr>

February was a month in full swing of sports practices & games, and of course, Valentine's Day. I have my issues with this Hallmark holiday and I just have to say that during our one snow day in January, the kiddos decided to make their own Valentine's boxes!! Yay! That was one huge check off the list for February and one less thing to stress about. Yay kiddos!!</div>

We went to the fabric store and picked out a pattern for a cross-body purse for her iPod :).<br />She did a great job cutting out the fabric and sewing all the pieces together!<br />Lucky for her, she has two grandmas who are excellent seamstresses.

This was her school's first year participating and she did great competing against other 4th grade peers. This was an elective activity in which the students had to give up recess time every week to practice. We were so proud of her effort as this was a challenging competition!</td></tr>

We always have a great time and enjoy our adventures.<br />
We have discovered that the Fiala/Bolinger cousins enjoy ice skating, so we made a trip to the ice rink again this year. We also tried something new by going to Science City for their special Noon Year's Eve day for the kids. It was a lot of fun...even with all the crowds. Excited to check it out again when it's not so busy next time.<br />

Lily has grown up to be such a sweet, kind-hearted, generous, and responsible young lady. She takes initiative and is a great leader among her peers and her little brother. We are so proud of you, Lily!<br />
<br />
For her birthday, she just wanted some school friends over for an "almost" slumber party. I have never been big on the slumber party idea, and honestly, Lily is our "early to bed, early to rise" child so I don't think she would survive well. So, we agreed on having her friends come over in their jammies for pizza, design some fun pillowcases, play some party games, do makeovers, and have some treats. Then, they all went home! Haha. In fact, Lily commented after they all left that she was so tired and was thankful we didn't do a sleepover. So, all of us got a good night's sleep- WIN!<br />
She loved having this special time with her girlfriends to just be tweens together. And, I literally sat back and read a book while they hung out. It was so weird having a house full of girls who entertained themselves and didn't need a party planner...until they needed help with the treats, that is :).<br />
<br />
Here are some highlights of their night:<br />

And if I'm being honest, I would not do the story justice by attempting to retell it.<br />
Ever since Lily was born, Dad has said that he hoped to have this opportunity with her (& later Jackson too) one day. Hunting and fishing are his passions and what a joy to share that passion with his little girl. Lily was very enthusiastic to have this special weekend during youth hunting season with her Dad. And, according to Dad, she was a great shot!<br />
What a fun and memorable weekend for the two of them.<br />

I love the fact that our kids use their imagination and creativity while we are camping! The girls have loved this bridge (which crosses over a dry creek bed in the campground) for the past couple of years. They put together "parties" under the bridge complete with handmade invitations, decorations (mostly natural), and interesting games. We had about 15-20 kids total so there was lots of fun (and bickering :) involved. But overall, a great time for friends. </div>

We have a great little bowling alley in downtown Independence that was a perfect fit for he and seven of his closest friends. I promised him that once he started Kindergarten, he could have a "friend only" party. He loved celebrating with some of his favorite people.<br />

Jackson had asked for an iPod for his birthday (and the answer to that was "No"). So we decided on a cheaper (and less heartbreaking if broken) option- an MP3 player. By the look on his face, I'm sure you can tell he was just as excited.</div>

I was doing great all summer, blissfully suppressing all my emotions regarding my "baby" starting Kindergarten. But when August 11th rolled around, I could no longer avoid it. All the school shopping, schedule preparation, back to school night, and finding out the teacher excitement finally hit me. And thankfully, Justin came with me for this big day knowing it would be huge not only for me, but he as well. Obviously, I lost it. But I'm glad I waited until leaving the building before I hid my head in an ugly cry. It's a new chapter for our family and I'm so proud of both of our kids. They are so smart, well-adjusted, and eager to learn. We couldn't be more excited for Lily as she steps up to the challenge of 4th grade, and for Jackson as he learns the new rules and wonder of Kindergarten. </div>

After our week at the beach house, we originally had planned to spend a couple of days at Grandma & Grandpa's house before heading home on a cross-country road trip. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Unfortunately, Uncle Mark got sick with pneumonia so we cancelled our road trip and decided to fly home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We were able to fit in a few more fun activities before heading home, though! We always have a great time with family and I love watching the kids make memories.</div>

I'm going to ignore the fact that I am <i>4 months delayed </i>in updating my blog and just pretend it's June again :).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We had our first visit from the Myers family last June and had such a fun time! CJ and Daddy had planned to go fishing, while the mommies and kiddos had some water fun. The kids got along great and enjoyed playing and making up games together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The only downfall to the visit was Lily's trip to the ER with a broken wrist after playing Tag with her cousins :(. Thankfully, she was in good spirits after her temporary cast was put on. And I don't know how, but it did not dampen her mood!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We had so much fun and can't wait to see them again soon!</div>

Lily had such a great year this year. A friend who has older kids once told me that 3rd grade was when her kids grew and struggled the most. It's true that the work was more difficult and the expectations were higher this year, but Lily truly excelled and put forth her best effort. She has always loved school. Although she was ready for summer, she still talks about missing Mr. Melton and some of her classmates. Her teacher was phenomenal this year. He really encouraged her creative writing skills and inspired her to continue pushing herself. We are so proud of you, Lily! We know that you are destined to do great things!</div>

One of the joys of Grandma & Grandpa's retirement is having them be a part of the fun grandkid events of the school year! We were excited to have them join us to celebrate Jackson's PreK graduation and Lily's 3rd grade awards ceremony. We snuck in a Tball game and a school walk-a-thon as well :-). The kids always enjoy their one-on-one time with their grandparents. Here's a snapshot of their visit:</div>

This picture was just too comical to leave out. We were in the Costco parking lot and typical Jack...he does not know the meaning of "stay close" or "WALK!" so instead of holding Grandma's hand, he asked her to hold his shirt! Ha! Grandma, of course, went right along with it. This isn't her first rodeo, obviously.</div>

Before heading home to California, we celebrated Lily's many awards at her 3rd grade assembly.

Oh how I feared the arrival of this day. My baby's last day of preschool. And oh how he loved preschool. He would march into class with his backpack on, greeting other classmates along the way, and make a joke to his teacher upon entering the classroom. His teachers have all been wonderful and loved his charm peeking through his silliness. Like his big sister, Jackson is a social butterfly. Doing almost anything for a laugh, he made friends easily and I would see him with his "crew" playing on the playground and chasing one another. He always had a story to tell on our drive home from school about the happenings that day- usually who got in trouble, his snack of the day, and who he played with. His best friend for all three years was Max. These two hit it off as 3 year olds and have been inseparable ever since! Thankfully, his Mom and I became friends and coordinated them to play soccer and Tball together so they will stay connected. We have really enjoyed watching Jackson grow in preschool and look forward to what's in store for him in "big school' next year with his sister!</div>
