The last 6 months' adventures include the following:
1) Family Fun Center & Seahawks Game (Oct): For Beckett's birthday we went to the family fun center and he hit the batting cages for the first time. Then, he and mommy went to a Seahawks game to celebrate this 12th man turning 12.
2) Thunderbirds Game (Dec): We bought tickets to support Chase Simons soccer team and went to a game w Simons, Mindi and CLAM.
3) Racquetball (Dec): For Christmas mom got a racquetball set and took turns taking us to play on the courts at LA Fitness. We had a great time but I think mom overused her arm and now has tennis elbow ;) It's too bad she's so old. LOL
4) Top Golf (Jan): While dad was out of town on his dude's ski weekend, mom took Hudson & Nick and me and Surya to the new Top Golf in Renton. We even got to try the injectable donuts while we played.
5) Bend Ski Trip (Jan): The first weekend of the New Year we drove to Bend and spent a few days skiing Mt Bachelor. We swam in the pool and hung out in the hot tub each day after a full day on the hill. We had an "adventure" when we saw our gas tank was on empty and hoped we could get back to our condo w/o running out of gas.
6) 5K Race (Feb): I ran this 5K all by myself while Hudson walked it with mom and dad. He wasn't feeling well so I went ahead of them and did it on my own. Afterwards we went to UW and toured the campus and then went to Red Mill for burgers.
6) Kellogg Ski Trip (Feb): For Mid-Winter break w skied at Silver Mountain with Simons and Nardella's. We skied two days and did the tube park one day. The house was sort of funky but all the boys got to sleep in the bunk bed room upstairs! Claire even had all the kids outside building a snowboard jump at one point!
Beckett has put together several 'Friend Hangs' lately. First, he met up w Jace & Surya to play frisbee golf. Next, he met Matthew at the high school field to practice kicking field goals and run the track. Finally, he joined Kaito and Maddie at the Middle School to goof around on the sports field. Mom took us to McDonalds afterwards!
Beckett recently lost what we think is his last baby tooth. Too bad he doesn't believe in the tooth fairy to bring him all that cold hard cash ;) He has an orthodontist appt in a couple months and I think they're just waiting for that final tooth to pop out. So, maybe we'll be getting braces on again sometime in the near future. Boo!
Beckett continues to find comfort with his stuffy "Tip Top". Mom finally realized that the biggest reason I liked sleeping w her is because her bed was so much warmer than mine. After getting a warmer down comforter for Xmas, I now sleep in my own bed every night and am super comfy. We play a little game where after I leave for school, mom tucks Tip Top in under the covers so when I get home I find him all cozy too.
Beckett is finally the same height as mom!! We knew this day would come and I'm sure he will just keep getting taller although probably not as tall as he would hope in order to be a professional basketball player.
Beckett continues to experience tween angst. He is exceptionally "confident" and has very firm opinions and is not easily persuaded from. He is curious and asks A LOT of questions and has a sort of frenetic energy at times "buzzing" around the house and around mom/dad/brother. He and Hudson sort of do their own things but will play together once in awhile. Hudson is very inclusive of B when he has friends over.
Beckett has the same girlfriend, Maddie that he had last year. We finally got to meet her at the friend hang as well as his Futsal Jamboree. She is VERY tall (taller than B) and a very sweet girl. She lives on the Lake Wilderness golf course so I told B he should get some golfing tips from her. He has a unique sense of humor (watches youtube memes that mom doesn't understand or doesn't find particularly amusing). He seems to enjoy learning new things and is initiating get togethers with friends. It's weird to think he'll officially be a teenager on our next entry. We love you Beckett-Boo <3
