Micah's fieldtrip

Today Jawsh chaperoned Micah on his field trip to the California Science Center.  They got to watch an IMAX movie and venture through the museum.  We feel like the boys are so lucky that we chaperone their field trips... but I have to wonder... do they feel that way???

Happy Birthday (again)

A birthday celebration is never complete until we celebrate with the cousins!  Noah had a delicious homemade cake made by Halmoni and the best present from his cousins: a Nerf gun.  I still can't believe Noah is 10 years old!  A decade goes by fast, doesn't it???

Hogwarts Party

Happy 10th Birthday to Noah!  In true Harry Potter fashion we had a Hogwarts slumber party complete with a Harry Potter scavenger hunt and Hagrid inspired birthday cake (misspellings and all).  What will he want to do for his birthday next year???

Happy Birthday Noah!

Noah is 10!  I can't believe how time has flown!  He wanted to eat one of his favorite desserts, Toffee Cake, at the Westside Tavern so Grandpa obliged!  Noah is just like his dad when it comes to desserts... he loves them!  What will Noah wish for???

Happy Thankgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!  We are so grateful that we could spend this holiday season in Bubbe's new home.  She baked Noah's favorite apple cake (because his birthday is tomorrow) and we got to spend time playing games, watching movies, and building puzzles with the family!  When will we come back to Reno???

Christmas Tree Lighting

Micah started playing the ukulele a few months ago and his teacher asked him to play at a Christmas Tree Lighting in El Segundo.  Micah played two songs, "Jingle Bells" and "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" with another student.  Then he had a solo for "Hanukkah Oh Hanukkah."  He did a great job.  Will Micah want to participate in the school talent show???

Climbing trees

While the older brothers play their soccer games, the younger siblings find a tree to climb!  When will they be interested in watching their brothers play???

Timmy and Charles Fails

Noah and his friend, J, created this board game early this year and Noah finally finished it!  We played it as a family and found it to be really fun and engaging.  The objective is to get to the volcano first (black cup with paper flames) and die!  Remember, the game is called, Timmy and Charles Race to the Volcano.  Will this inspire Noah to create more games???

White House

Today is Election Day!  I already voted early last weekend and today we walked in Jawsh's ballot to our local polling place.  We are hoping to celebrate the victory of our first woman President of the United States.  Who will win tonight???

I voted

Obligatory photo of the boys at our local polling place.  Jawsh cast his vote.  Will his candidate win???

#1 Chess

Micah came in first place in the Intermediate Level at his school!  This was a huge accomplishment for Micah and he was very proud of himself!  He has really grown as a chess player from last year as he is actually winning games on his own merit.  Will he want to play in the Chess Tournament this summer???

Wolves

Noah is playing soccer this year.  He's on the Wolves and he's back with his same coach from last year too!  Noah had a great season with no injuries!  He scored a goal this year, which is a big feat at this level.  He played all positions but his favorite position was Center Forward.  Will he want to play soccer again next year???

Drive north

Jawsh and Zach took a drive north to Reno to drop off Bubbe's car.  We can't believe that this is happening but we are happy for Bubbe and her big move!  Now that she's there we will have even more reason to visit!  When will we visit Bubbe???

Bye Bubbe

Today Bubbe moved to Reno!  We are excited for Bubbe but saddened that we won't get to see her on a regular basis.  The boys have been very fortunate that they have their grandparents in their lives and in close proximity.  Now that Bubbe has moved, we will have to take more trips to see her (which the boys are very excited about).  What will it be like when Bubbe moves???
