OK, I totally sucked at keeping up with this is 2019 and I hate it! The kids LOVE looking at this. I print the blog into a book at the end of each year, and they pull these off the shelf and look at them ALL THE TIME!!! So, I'm throwing in the towel on 2019, and starting fresh with 2020!!! I'm making a commitment to myself and them to keep up with it in 2020!
As a recap to 2019, from where I left off, since I'm not going to get it all finished:
* A fun baseball tournament in Branson playing on the fields of Ballparks of America
* Peyton got to go to Busch Stadium and see the US Women's soccer team play
* Lots of Naturals baseball, and a dramatic tournament victory in Indianapolis
*Peyton's fractured back and long road to recovery
* Maddie learned to ride her bike without training wheels (finally!)
*We hosted the 5th grade class hamster for summer
*Maddie was old enough to play junior golf....she liked it!
*Mom coached Maddie's CYC softball team (phew, coaching that sport at that age is tough!)
*The 4th was spent at the lake and all three kids learned to wakeboard
*Mike hurt his back cutting Annie's hair at the lake. He was OUT of commission for about a month. Mom had to drive him to and from work for about a month. He spend a good amount of time laying on the floor in that month.
*Maddie turned 7 and celebrated with a gymnastics party
*Peyton turned 13 (A TEENAGER!!!) and celebrated with a trip to Six Flags with her friends. She convinced me to let her and Maira do the flying thing at Six Flags....they are NUTS!
*Maddie was super sad, sad enough that mom allowed her to get one of her own, when the school hamster left our house.
*Jack won the Westborough Tennis Tourmanet, the all club, and Jack and Henry won the all-club doubles. Addison and Peyton won all-club doubles. It was her first event back from her back injury.
*Summer vacation to Captiva with the Kiewiets
*Everyone went back to school after vacation, including mom.
*Peyton attended her first mixer, and of course, loved it!
*Jack played volleyball again and loved it
*All three played CYC soccer
*Jack won his first ever USTA tournament
*Mike and other Dads took the boys to a MU football game and tailgated (a first for Jack)
*Maddie went horseback riding with Daisies
*Jack took 4th at his first chess meet of the season
* Maddie's new love for gymnastics, the love that grew and grew and grew.....had her first meet and placed in every event
* Mike interviewing (a very long process) and eventually committing to a new job that will start in March of 2020.
*The big kids started CYC basketball and Maddie is playing KJBL again and dabbling in the CNR a little bit.
*We celebrated Christmas a the lake a week before Christmas
* The kids got the trampoline they've been waiting for for years, for Christmas
* We spent NYE with he Riney's at their house and Peyton went to a party at Katie William's house
A fun, exciting, never boring, 2019! We are not rested, but we are ready for 2020!
