School Events

Kai and I went to the "Dudes Dance" formerly called the "Mom Prom" at the school. We had the BEST time. We literally danced the entire time! He has two friends with really fun Moms that danced with us. Most everyone else just stood around but we had a great time. I love that Kai is not embarrassed to hang with me. He was so happy to be there with me and told me it was the best. I sure love this cool guy.

 The school also had a bingo/pizza night for families and it was a lot of fun. I am very happy that we switched to Hidden Hills because it's half the size of their old school and has such a nice small community feel. Kora won bingo twice! She was really excited.

Kali

Kali has been doing great in school for the 3rd quarter. She got good grades on her report card so she got to get a new beta fish and we ran into her good friend Brayden at the pet store.

 She's still playing basketball and enjoying it. Her dribbling is incredible! She also go the PE Award at school! We're very proud of Kali.

School Week

It was school spirit week and the kids did wacky hat day

 and wacky outfit day

 Kali's teacher also gave her a fish that week, WHY?!

 and since the weather has been nice she had a neighbor friend come over and shoot hoops

We put our Christmas tree up the other day. The kids got up so excited to see the tree box. We put on some holiday music and had a fun time decorating the house. They even put up the little trees in their rooms.

My parents went out of town so we had our dog Noodle back with us for a few days.

 Kali took this photo on my phone and I had to share it. She's getting so grown up. She's pretty and so kind to others. She struggled with school the start of the school year and now she's doing very well. I'm really proud of her. It was a big learning curve to change to a more challenging school. She's in student government and year book and loving it!

 Kali has had asthma since 1st grade and was sick a lot during the fall/winter months but since Dr. Padrez told her she needed to gain weight it been a HUGE change. Kali has not been sick and not used her inhaler once. She is so happy to be able to go hiking and not miss any school. We hiked one of the trails at Squaw Peak and the views were amazing! It was a such a beautiful clear day.

It's been SOOOO cold this week. Like in the 50's which is nuts for November in Phoenix. Kora and I have been happy to wear our winter hats.

Field Trip

Kali's 6th grade had a field trip so I was a chaperone. We went out to Mesa Grande ruin. It was pretty interesting.

Weekend report

We started our weekend at the school's movie night watching Zootopia, here is Kali and her friends. We stayed until Kora spilled a snowcone on her tutu and got "freezing"

The next morning the boys left early for a soccer game and the girl's came with me to the Undy 5000 Colon Cancer walk/run

 my parents were up there with a few other family members too

 The we drove over to watch Kai's 2nd game of the day. He played well and we got to see him score right as we walked up on a penalty kick.

 Then we came home and got ready for Lashy's pool party. The kid's were so excited for that! He's the nicest kid and we were happy to go celebrate with him. Then, Francis went to his indoor soccer game and I went to a Thai Tini girl's night party, it was SO fun!

On Sunday we hung out at home and enjoyed the yard.

Francis had an outdoor game in the afternoon but the kids and I stayed home and I took a nap, it was great! We sure do jam pack our weekend.

AR Disco Party

I volunteered to help at the AR party because both Kali and Kai earned their way there. It was a fun Disco party and since the Becker's love to dance it was lots of fun for them!

Basketball

Kali went to Future for Kids basketball camp down at ASU downtown gymnasium. She had so much fun and a few of her friends were even there.

6th Grade Science Fair

Kali had a month long science group project. They met a few times after school and worked a lot during the school day.

 The night of the science fair they had to dress professional.

 She was at the school for almost 3 hours the night of the fair and parents were not allowed to come until the end.

They got an A!!!!

Busy weekends

Soccer is officially back in full swing! The past two weekends we've been at tournaments. It's still pretty warm in the day so they're long days but fun. The boys are playing well together.

 Miguel (Kai's former teammate) came to watch a game

 Kora is having fun at the games since there are a lot of little sisters for her to play with. At the tournament in Mesa, Christopher brought Caige by to say hello! Kora was so happy to see her baby cousin.

I forgot to wear sunscreen at one tournament and OUCH!

 Kali had a basketball game and scored 6 points! I don't have a picture since I was at the tournament and Yaya and Granddad took her but they said she played hard. She also spent a Saturday at a fun mall scavenger hunt with her friends.
