So one day before the Bethel levy vote, Jamie, Felicity, and Kelsey held up "Yes Bethel Kids" signs on the corner of 176th and Meridian. Her advisory teacher asked for her help holding the signs and she agreed to offer up her services. We all had alot of fun. Felicity and Kelsey liked trying to get people who passed by in there cars to honk. They had a little contest seeing who could get the most honks, FELICITY WON!!!! It was a fun experience for everyone.

Hey there its Felicity!! Moms busy as usual so im updating you. So guess what Cameron finally got his lisence!!!!! He passed with a 90% and he passed on his first time....whoa i know right AWESOME!!!!!! Were all very proud of him! Tonight to celebrate ,our family and Cameron's BFF Spencer Dickson, all went out to modoo teriyaki. It was delicious. Cameron's very excited for this acomplishment and feels very independent now. Ohh my big brothers growing up! Feels like just yesterday we were playing hide and seek together.... oh maybe we were....jkjk. but he is growing up. to honor him and his accomplishment i will post some childhood pictures of him.

Go Team!!

Felicity has decided to try out for Cheerleader for Liberty Jr. High. She will be a 9th grader at the new Jr. High next fall.
She is so excited to try something new. She has been practicing alot and has a great attitude about it, whether she makes it or not. I am very proud of her for all the effort she puts into things she wants to accomplish. Her good friend Sadie Hontz is also trying out with her. It is nice because some of her friends from the ward will now be in the new school together.
I was drill team captain in High School so I don't really know about the cheerleading ways, but I support her in whatever she wants to try!!
The tryouts are in March and tomorrow she starts the cheer clinics.
She also is trying out tomorrow for her next school play which is "The Music Man." She is trying out for three different parts. She has been in "Annie" at Bethel Jr. High, and "Willy Wonka, Jr."
She has really enjoyed singing and acting!

Kelsey learns to play the piano!

This year Jamie signed Kelsey up for piano lessons. Our little Kelsey has been wanting to play the piano for a long time. Kelsey loves it. She works so hard and is learning so much. We love listening to Kelsey play the piano. We wonder if Kelsey will enjoy the piano as much as Cameron and Felicity. Kelsey loves her teacher and plays the piano everyday. She whants to be as good as Cameron. She loves the piano. and her teacher says Kelsey learns very fast! She hopes you will listen to her play sometime!

So much to write about!!

Kelsey's Birthday, Family Reunion, Kelsey's Baptism, High Adventure, Girls Camp and Felicity's Birthday!! Whew!!



Kelsey's Birthday



Kelsey turned 8 on July 14th and was baptized August 1st in Moses Lake by her big brother Cameron. It was such an awesome occasion. My whole entire family was there, we were having a reunion at the same time so Kelsey was baptized in the Moses Lake Stake Center.



Family Reunion & Kelsey's baptism



The Ardean Child Family had a reunion (all of my sisters and my brother & families) in Seattle July 30- August 1st. We had great time all together. We bought Seattle City Passes and had a blast going from attraction to attraction!! It was fast and furious, but oh so fun... It was so fun to be all together with all of my siblings.



We stayed in Bellevue at the Embassy Suites. On Saturday we all traveled to Moses Lake to attend the Arvel L. Child Family Reunion at the waterpark in Moses Lake. It was fun to see cousins I had not seen in a long time.

I want to send a special shout- out to my fab cousin Tracie for telling me she follows my blog and encouraging me to keep it up , because I was sure no one was reading it!! Thanks Tracie!!



Kelsey's baptism was awesome. She asked Cameron to baptize her and it was so amazing to see both of them in white. My whole family was in attendance and everyone present had a part. Cameron played the piano, Felicity led the singing and all my other family members took part in some way. All of the cousins sang "I am a Child of God." Lisa gave a really neat talk on the Holy Ghost and Grandpa Child gave a talk on Baptism.



Kelsey received so many thoughtful gifts. Lisa gave her a big soft bath towel with her name embroidered on it with the CTR emblem on it also. It is so cool!! Cami and Dad gave her a darling pillow with her name and the CTR emblem on it. Lots of other people gave her some special gifts to remember such a wonderful occasion.















Felicity at 2nd yr. of Girl's Camp



The day after we got home from the Family Reunion Felicity left for Girl's Camp. It was at the same location as last year: Cascade Park in Arlinton, WA. She had a great time. I went to parent's night on Wednesday to spend a couple of hours with her. It was fun to be with her, I missed her alot.



Bob and Cameron High Adventure



Tuesday August 3rd Bob and Cameron left for their annual High Adventure with the Pioneer Valley Venture Scouts.



They went to Moran State Park on Orcas Island. From the pictures it looks like a really beautiful place. As always they had the time of their lives. At least they didn't have to get rescued by Search & Rescue this year!!



They had a blast sea kayaking, mountain biking, hiking, cliff diving, swimming, and competing in a triathalon. Cameron's team took first place in the triathalon.



The highlight of the trip was a 6 mile ride up Mt. Constitution on their bikes. Whew~~ It makes me tired just writing about it!!



Felicity's 13th Birthday August 8, 2009



Felicity officially became a teenager August 8th the day after she got home from camp. She is such a sweetie and my right hand gal. She is so much help to me, I would be lost without her! She cooks she cleans, she is a helping machine!!

After the boys got home from Orcas Island we went out to celebrate her birthday. We went to Chili Thai for some great thai food. Everyone was somewhat weary from all of our previous activites, but we had a great time.
