What Kaylie's Been Up To!

Well I am so very behind on my blogging it is really crazy. I am going to attempt to get caught up on some of the happenings of our family this summer. Here is an update on Kaylie. She enjoyed taking sewing classes this summer and made this darling book bag for school She sewed it herself!! Just looking at the bag overwhelms me! I'm grateful for her fabulous teachers that encouraged her!!

The back view..some fun vintage bicycles!

For the inside they put two pockets as well as a foamboard bottom support to support the heavy books she has to bring home sometimes. The front of the bag has a waterbottle pocket.

She learned how to program the machine to do her name so she has that embroidered on the front too. So very impressive!! She has just loved this class! Assuming she can keep her grades up during the school year we are going to let her take it year round since she has begged to do that and have a really great sewing school here in Centerville!

I was so very proud of Kaylie this year. She went out of her comfort zone and took a volleyball camp the last week of summer. It was put on by her new Jr. High school and she learned a lot!

The team was for 7-9th graders and most of the kids trying out had some sort of experience with sports or volleyball before. Kaylie didn't make the team but she grew through this experience and has decided that she wants to work towards playing in 8th grade by getting more experience in the coming year. I was so proud of her for trying something different from theater and voice which are her fortes!
