Day 9

Can we just take a break? Good, cause I did!!! Actually, i think I got dressed into clean jammies after my morning shower!

Of course the day goes on and there were moments of Together. Some that stuck out:

1) Watching 2 CRAZY World Cup games. Seriously, does anyone else think the last 3 minutes of all these World Cup games are just incredible?

2).  Keilah went to dance teacher's class and they worked  out REALLY HARD!

3)  Picked star fruit off our tree and reminisced with Elijah about the time we bought the tree and planted it in our yard.



4). Waited in anxious expectation for the PUP Municipal Convention results.  We won!

5). Read a book out loud before bed.  (A favorite family activity in our house)

I VOTED!

I voted ... And my team won!! (Tee hee!) Congratulations to "Team Chacon"!

From Patrick Andrews desk:

"The City of Belmopan PUP Family had the opportunity yesterday to elect one Mayoral and six Counselor Candidates to contest the March 2015 Municipal Elections.  In spite of external forces hindering voter participation, over one thousand supporters cast their votes.  In the end, Team Chacon, with it's full slate, won the convention and will now represent the PUP in next year's elections.

I wish to congratulate Team Chacon for a well planned and organized campaign, and the commitment, hard work and dedication of his election Day machinery.

Team Chacon are comprised of members from all over Belmopan different ethnic races and both genders are represented.  They represent the aspirations of citizens who have been ignored for the past nine years, and have the courage and determination to transform Belmopan into a vibrant Capital City.  We must however unite our efforts to achieve this noble goad.  To all those who doubt in our determination, we invite them to dialogue, to suggest and make recommendation to move forward.

Together we can..."

Day 8

These daily entries really make me stop and reflect on the "little things" in life. Those moments of giggling together, those moments of catching-each-others-eye-in-complete-shock-at-the-World-Cup-game! You know, the MOMENTS of every day life. I'm happy I get to spend them with this crew.

Day 8 #beautiful life - Summer Vacation Edition

1)  We watched the ENTIRE Brazil/Chile World Cup game!  WOW!

2)  Keilah went to her first dance teachers class with Keri Halvorson. They are getting ready for the week long Dance camp at YWAM Belmopan's En Croix dance studio.  I'm so proud of these girls

3)  The boys watched as I did my nails (A VERY important and noteworthy event)

4)  Yoga on the veranda with Keilah again.  (I'm beginning to love this)

5)  The boys helped me make the pizza for our traditional Family Pizza night.  Yum!

Day 7

Day 7 #beautifullife Summer Vacation Edition

After running around Belmopan paying bills and running errands (not exactly our idea of fun) we went home to enjoy our Friday afternoon.  Here's what went down!

1) "Wash your hands please" turned into a giant bubble blowing festival.  (Of course!)

2) Tried to copy So You Think You Can Dance contestants with the cartwheel over the back thing.  Not as easy as it looks people!

3). Registered the boys for Skyhawks "soccer" camp in Poulsbo, WA!  Our plane leaves in 12 days!

4). Keilah and I watched the boys take penalty shots on each other in the yard, with our cool beverages.

Then we came inside for a surprisingly delicious Taco soup.  While I was cooking Judah said, "Whatcha makin'?"

I replied, "Taco Soup"

He said, "Hmph.  Why don't you just make tacos?  That would be better."

Well, guess who had seconds tonight and LOVED it?!!

A hectic day turned into a day with many beautiful moments.  I'm thankful.
