Soccer Season

Last season Zoe played her 2nd season on the u10 Breakers team.  She played A LOT of forward and midfield (her favorite position) and had a chance to score many goals.  

Noah played his 2nd second season on one of the HYSL u6 teams.  By the end of the season it was all really starting to "click" for him and he even scored his first goal!

Cross Country

Last Fall, Zoe and Noah both gave cross country a shot.  They were the two lone runners that represented Kneeland School in the Humboldt Youth Redwoods Running Club (HRRA) cross country meets.  The both LOVED running in the races and did surprising well for their first attempt at cross country.  So proud of my little runners!

July 2013 (Erie, PA)

Last summer the kids and I headed to Erie, PA to visit family.  It was my first real solo trip without Steve.  I loved that my kids were able to see/meet our east coast family!

When Life Gets in the Way...

I can't believe it's been over a year since I've blogged.  Let's just say life has gotten in the way :)
I have so many things to share and document, but for now a picture or two...

Toothless Wonder

Although Noah is 5, tonight he officially feels like a BIG boy.

After wiggling & wiggling, he lost his first baby tooth!  

Wow, the littlest Macknicki is certainly growing up quickly!

Documentation of this momentous occasion was a must, but as you can see from the photos it was a little hard to capture the perfect photo due to this little guy's goofiness!

2013 Humboldt Tri Kids

Today Zoe competed in her 2nd Triathlon.  This year she took 4th place and bettered her time by 6 minutes!  We are so proud of our little athlete!
