Purex 2023 Yearbook optimized

Cher & Alex
Chloe (9), Ryan (7), Cassie (3)
This year was full of kid activities and family trips. Chloe had a lot of fun making
friends and learning soccer skills with her AYSO soccer team, the Shooting Stars.
She improved as the season went on and scored goals in 2 of the games! Ryan
began team sports in the summer where he joined the Beach Ballers with Kuya
Bradley and Coach Ninong Johnny. Similarly, Ryan improved as the season went on
and proved to be a great defensive player on the court. The Beach Ballers brought
home a trophy and won the Silver Elite Championship! In the fall, Ryan started
playing soccer with his AYSO team, the Fireballs. Ryan’s speed and quick feet made
him one of the stronger players on his team. Our charming little one, Cassie, had a
big year also. She was officially potty trained in the summer and started going to
preschool in August. By October she was fully acclimated and has grown even
more with her colors, numbers, letters, writing, coloring & painting skills.
Aside from kid activities, we went on a handful of memorable family trips. Starting
with the kids’ first trip to Las Vegas over Spring Break. They were disappointed by
the ‘arcade’ slot machines they couldn’t touch and confused why the Eiffel Tower
was in Nevada and not Paris. In April, Kristen & Phil’s wedding in San Diego and in
May, we took a trip to Borrego Springs and enjoyed driving around to see the large
metal sculptures in the dessert. We closed out our family vacations with Rodney &
Christa’s wedding in Bali! We were able to go to Japan for a few days before the
wedding and COVeniently extended our stay in Bali after the wedding. Throughout
2023, we enjoyed celebrating life and being with our friends and family.
