Misc. 6/2015

Our little beach at Liberty Lake!

A boy and his pool.

John at his SVLA performance of The Clean-Up Kids. He worked SO hard for months to memorize his lines for this. He was on of the leads, with his Aunt Samatha as director. He was a natural onstage and we are proud of him!

The cutest girl at the annual Liberty Lake Garage Sale!

Jesse and I were leaders at the Youth Conference this year. We did get to go on the cruise on Lake Coeur d Alene with them as well! It was fun to visit and dance with them. 

These two beauties were there!

Youth Conference 6/2015

Youth Conference- planting trees at a park in Post Falls. 

Julia working hard!

Hammock 6/2015

These pictures show what a fun dad Jesse is!

 

We've enjoyed the hammock in the backyard this summer!

Summer! 6/2015

First day of summer vacation and our kids literally jumped for joy to find a giant branch had fallen off one of our trees the night previous! 

They got right to work, it makes me so happy when kids get to be kids and create!

After a few hours of fun! 

Annie's Art 6/2015

Annie did this piece at SVLA. I thought it was sweet that she dedicated it to Nana. 

 

Annie's Dance Performance 6/2015

Annie is a delight to watch when she dances, this was her first school year with Isabelle's Dance Time, and she's loving every minute! She was "on fire" in her Phoenix performance. 

Waiting to go on stage at the dress rehearsal. 

Annie's cousin Abby got to come and watch! It had a Greek theme, we thoroughly enjoyed it!

Fox Property Group 5/2016

I had to document Jesse at work in his office on 12815 E. Sprague Ave #100 | Spokane Valley, WA 99216. He has been in the office next to his dad from 7/2009 through 9/2016 when his dad passed away. It is also part of the same office building, where Jesse and I worked when we were first married, for Family Home Mortgage and Fox Financial. There are a lot of memories here! Jesse is continuing on, but definitely wishes he had more time working with his father. It was a blessing that we were able to be in the Spokane area for these few years. 

Triple Crown Winner! 6/2015

After American Pharaoh won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, we were hopeful he would win the Triple Crown. We knew it was unlikely, because it had been since 1978 the last time when Affirmed won. We decided to head up to Foxhill, to watch it with Jesse's dad. 

Jesse's grandpa was a horseman and Jesse and his dad were raised with horses, so it is a special time of year watching the races. Maybe Jesse and I will go in person someday! 

HE WON! It was a race for the history books. It was a very loud celebration, in typical Fox style! Blogging this over a year later, it is even more special. Now that Jesse's dad has passed away, that we were able to share this special moment with him and our kids. 

While on Foxhill, Jessica found some wildflowers for Grandma. She is so sweet. 

And we got to eat some of Grandpa Fox's vegetable and sliced sausage soup! So delicious. 

17th Anniversary 6/2015

The Spokane River. It was a beautiful Anniversary. The last few years we've spent a night locally somewhere for our Anniversary. This year we stayed at Hotel Lusso, one of my favorites in Spokane. It's historical, and beautiful!

Spokane Falls. We went on a seven mile walk. It was lovely.

One of my favorite houses in Browne's Edition. 

Lusso is a Davenport Hotel-so they have AMAZING room service. 

This was a lot of food for two people, but it was worth it, yum! Also, I love my husband. :)

Grandpa Noack 9/2015

Grandpa Noack passes through Spokane on his way to Seattle for work once or twice a year, and we are always glad to have him pop in for a last minute visit! He is such a fun grandpa and is popular with the kids especially!

Grandpa is kind to always make our kids his famous "Grandpa Popcorn" when he visits. It's amazing!

Jessica becomes quite "attached" to Grandpa when he's visiting!

Asher climbed on the counter and found our stash of CTR rings. He's like the Choose the Right gangsta!

DTTC 5/2015

Back blogging again, acting like it's 2015. LOL

This is Annie and her new company, Dance Time Theater Company (DTTC). We had her go try out, thinking it would be a good experience for when she was ready in a year or two.  I didn't even think there was a possibility of her getting in, so I was quite shocked when Jesse and Annie came home with the news that she made it! She is one of 8 girls for 2015-2016. They tour around schools and nursing homes and community events and perform together. She is ecstatic!

With their teachers, Joe Hofer and Isabelle Cook. 

Katelyn Hansen, Alyssa Darling, Sarah Meyer, Annie Mack, Miranda Patrick, Annie Fox, Anna Peterson, and Izzy Girtz.

These girls are the sweetest and best examples to Annie, and the other newest member, is also named Annie! Their nicknames are Mack and Cheese in class. :)
