8th Grade

 I don't have many pictures of Kali since she totally 13 now. But she is very busy at school in Honors Science and STEAM again this year. She joined Marine Biology club and is in Student Council again this year. After school she swims for Neptune swim club so she's very busy and enjoying 8th grade. She spends a lot of time making crafts, texting friends, having friends sleep over, going to watch Kai play soccer and hang out with the older teams (her age). Kali is a really good girl and does not seem to have nearly as much middle school drama as I did so that's a good thing.

November happenings

November was a busy month. Kai got honor roll at school. Then we made a choice to switch schools since he was very bored and unhappy at his school. 

 We now drive him to Madison Simis and it's AMAZING what being a school like this is like. It's seriously night and day and when I pick him up he says he had a good day. (he use to try and miss school everyday) He went to the Turkey Trot race at his school and won 2nd place so it was a good first week.

 He's also very busy with soccer still and enjoying every minute of that.

Kali got honor roll for her first quarter or 7th grade and has been swimming club swim at Moon Valley Country Club. She's having fun!

 She is also playing basketball at Sunnyslope community center. Her team was really good this season.

 Kali is also in aerospace club at school and student council. She is currently working on decorations for the winter dance. 

Kora is having fun running errands with Mom, sleeping in late and going to play at Yaya and Granddad's house.

 I've been subbing and had some interesting jobs. Here I am waiting 30 minutes for the kids to finally show up. 

 Kora and my Dad did not want to spread germs. ha!

Kali

Kali is back to basketball at Sunnyslope community center 

 She loves Mountain Sky Junior High and is enjoying her classes. Her favorite is STEAM. She is even in STEAM club and has been able to design projects for the 3D printer. She is very talented. 

She is getting good grades and very happy this year.

 She rides to school with her neighbor friend. His Mom and I take turns dropping them off. They've been friends since 1st grade so it's neat to see them as preteens now. They look out for each other which is really nice.

 Kali had a slime party with some of her friends and they made a huge mess but had lots of laughs.

and of course Kora joined in 

 Since STEAM club and basketball just aren't keeping Kali busy enough she is also swimming three days a week at Swim Neptune swim club. She's a busy, happy girl :)
