Eleven

Kai turned 11 and had a wild and crazy swimming/soccer party with his friends. We had his favorite sandwich from Captain Bill's submarines, snowcones, popcorn and Doritos. He picked all of the food. The boys had a lot of fun and I am pretty sure they all left exhausted.

swim team, cub club & discovery guard oh my!

This year Kali and Kai both did swim team and Kai was in Cub Club and Kali was in Discovery Guard so we were at the pool A LOT! Last week we went to the Cub Club/ Discovery Guard Olympics (it was soooo hot, long & unorganized) and had Swim Team Divisionals so it was a really busy week but the kids had fun.

 Kali had a really good year on swim team this year & has become a very strong swimmer

 Kai had a great relay team this year and they won each time they swam together

Nine

Kai is nine today! I can't believe he is already 9. And, by the way this week is CRAZY with all of the end of school stuff and birthdays. But lots of excitement around the Becker house. Kai woke up and got a new outfit for school, Kora picked it out. 

 He opened two more gifts after Kali woke up to watch.

for dinner he requested his favorite meal 

chicken and broccoli filled crepes

and I made triple layer brownies for dessert

Yesterday he had a school performance of "Journey to Outer Space" musical. It was soooo cute. I've never seen him participate so much in a musical performance. He said he likes his music teacher. He was singing and doing all of the moves. It was pretty funny that he was in the front and center. 

 Kora really enjoyed watching it and Yaya and Grandma Kathi came too.

 Here he is with his good friends from school. After this he went to Alek's house to hang out with all of them. Kora got to go too and was pretty excited to be with all of the boys. I am so glad that Kai made such good friends so fast at Hidden Hills. 

Staying busy

The kids have been keeping me busy lately. Kora went to her first movie at the Theater when I took her to see Curious George Movie & she really had fun. I was proud of her for sitting and being so quiet for so long. She only got up once to use the bathroom.

Kai has been busy this week at Speed & Agility camp at ASC (the indoor soccer place) 

The kids also went to their yearly appointments at Dr. Padrez's office. Kai was acting crazy wearing his paper gown. He weighs 54 pds (33%) he's 4 feet 3 inches tall (58%) He's one healthy boy.

Kali was not as happy in her paper gown & did not want a pic taken. She weighs 66lbs (27%) and is 4feet 9 inches tall (84%) The doctor told us that she needs to gain 3 pounds. So we're working on getting this girl to eat more, it's NOT easy. 

Kora on the other hand has the appetite of her Daddy. She is NOT picky and eats everything. She weighs 33 lbs (77%) and is 3 feet 2 inches tall (76%) She's one healthy girl.

 Kali went to So You Think You Can Dance Camp this week and had a fun time do all kinds of dance.

 Kora was in Mommy and Me ballet last week & told me she wanted me to wait outside SOOOO this week she was moved up to 3-5 year old ballet ALL BY HERSELF. My little baby is a big girl now. I was so proud of her. She had fun dancing around to Disney music with these cute girls. Miss Suzy taught Kali too so we know she is great.

 Yaya took us to lunch at Flamingo Palace--yum!

 Kora also went to her story time at the library and Kali was able to come with while Kai was at speed camp across the street.

 Kai had a great time this week at his speed camp & is faster.

 Look, he's a blur :)

One more week and then it's back to school.
