 This fast growing child of mine started gymnastics this spring.  She has loved every second of it.

I just wish she would stop doing cartwheels in the house.

Starting Soccer

He wore me down.  I swore never to have another child in soccer after having to deal with Logan in it for 3 VERY LONG years. To our great surprise, Soren was awesome.  This Dunow kid actually has some real talent for the game.  I think its from thousands of hours playing FIFA.  Its a well known fact among everybody, that our family is not the most coordinated or athletic.  So I was a little worried he was going to go out on the field and get his butt kicked.  I know, I have so much confidence in my children.  

Soren played very hard all season and I'm so proud of his sportsmanship.

 I did find it hilarious that the giant rabbits would be out on the field while the boys were playing.

 I was sitting at one of the games and saw the flag flying.  Yup, still do a double take every time!

Even though the game were a pain in the butt to attend, we managed to have fun.  We froze to death at most of them, but had fun while freezing.

Soren is so excited to play next season.  Better get used to this whole soccer Mom thing.

Anna Senior pics

 Things that are Anna

-Doc Martens

-black clothes

-girly

-rockin tattoos

-dimples

-music (right now, The 1975)

 When we came across this sign while doing pictures, we just had to stop.  It's a known fact that Anna is just a tad bit clumsy.
Case in point, her cast.  Actually that's not her fault.  Milo just wanted to eat a bunny and Anna's hand just so happened to be wrapped up in his leash.  Oooops!

Crazy thing about it, she ended up being in a skateboarding accident about a month after this picture.  Ended up being taken to the hospital via ambulance.  

Anna graduates

Anna graduated from Robert Thirsk High School in the middle of May.  I know that she thought that day would never happen but as her parents, we knew it would.  I'm so proud of her.  I know it hasn't been very easy moving around a lot and going to new schools.  Not many kids have to move to a new country and new school for their senior year of high school.  Anna rocked it!  

On top of that, she had to deal with her injury during the last few months.  

It's going to be exciting to see what she chooses as her career.  No Anna, professional cat snuggler is not an appropriate occupation.

 Out of all the kids there, she was the only one with purple hair.  I'm so glad that she is confident in what she wants to do or dress.

Well Troy, we got to down.  Three to go.

Miranda is home

I know people listen to me complain about how noisy my house is.  

About how much I love it when everyone goes to school and I have time for myself.

Truth is, I don't want this to end.  I always want there to be kids laughing in my home.

Miranda Sings in a You-tuber that our family loves to watch.  (Troy does not like her!)  Olivia has this Miranda Sings character down.  She met a friend at school who also loves to watch Miranda's channel.  The outcome?  Just look at these girls.  Throw in some extra neighborhood girls playing dress-up into the mix and we have craziness.

Yes, it gets exhausting sometime but I wouldn't have it any other way.
