Halloween 2021

We were so excited to get to see the Forsters for Halloween!

We even did a photo shoot for another excuse

for an outdoor gathering.

Anime is our thing: 

Kids did some regular traditions like 

Literature Day and Pumpkin carving.

 

Family Pictures

The Wassink Family 2021

Aunt Tanya took these pictures on our last day together

before they left for Germany.  We miss our cousins!

Oh joy!

 

Mommy & Daddy Dates

Brothers are still thrilled for "mommy & daddy dates"

like going to the Painted Dough on the way to school or

a Dos Lagos movie day.

Thankfully mom knows how to treat me with food and fun! 

My most recent favorite date was with my dad

he took me to Rhino Records in Claremont and thrifting.

 

Boys

I am so glad my brothers are into Anime 

and game for my artist games!

Squeezing in a memory, they still sleep best together.

Oh these boys: archery and anti-bee gardening.

 

Fall Season

Lilli is enjoying her 2 days a week school and

mom is enjoying the fieldtrips and park dates to make new friends.

Lilli and Gracie enjoyed their first real season of Volleyball

@ OChristian.

 

Back to School Fall 2021

We are all so happy that the boys have awesome teachers!

I took no "first day of school pics"; 

but since my mom is over-friendly and all my friends like her, 

they texted her these moments.

It's been a tiring week, no one is used to

"seeing other people" for 7 hours, 

& being asphyxiated by ones own bad breath with 7 hours of masks, 

but mama and Lilli are "living their best life" with us shipped off. 

Lilli's new home school regime will soon come 

with lots of great pictures, 

I'm sure including the Taco Bell Reward Center. 

Staycation

 The week before school started mom tried to pack in some fun family time. 

Here’s our “Vacation/Staycation 2021” … 

"Nickle Nickle"

Man Points

We keep telling Axel he is racking up “man points” he likes to help daddy and he does the brave things like killing the “spider beetle” in the car (you should heard heard us screaming)!

 

Seeing Shannie

And Bo, oh no! 

Well, for my brothers and sister the dog was a highlight but we all really enjoyed Shannie twice this summer! 

 

15

I got to go to my first mini “Quince” for a friend. It was so fun to dress up and hang out (it was a long month)! 
 

July Memories

Here are some of our July memories...

 (note there will be no pictures of me because this is the summer I took 6 hour in person PE…

and PErsevered! ) 

Lilli, Evi and Gracie did a fun week of volleyball camp. 

We still got to visit with Lola on Sundays, and even see baby Kobi. 

Unexpected surprises…

Some normal summer days.
