August winds down

August is coming to a close.  It was a pretty hot month with several days over 100.  With the drought governing our water rationing, we have gotten two rebates for being under the limit.   It helps that we are at the gym so much.  

Kira got all dressed up for picture day and I just took her picture in the back yard.  This is how she wanted to pose.


Dinner tonight was curry chicken kebabs on the barbie.  Mmm, it was tasty--worth making again.


Parker is just over 5 months and is eager to crawl.  He gets up on all fours and rocks around, sometimes pulling himself like an army crawl.


Mel is just as sweet as ever.  The kids fight over who gets to sleep with her.

These books are pretty funny.

 The boys and I biked to the Hawaiian Fest at Krey.  We got to cut across the golf course because it was in the evening.  Blake's pretty good on his bike.  Tyler usually rides his blue Schwinn but took this one that I got for free from the neighbors and refurbished it.

Blake came with me to get the Lexus smogged.  He loves the Lexus.

We are loving our home and piano.  Scott gets up in the morning a little after six and we do piano together.  Sometimes Tyler does his after Scott.  I usually prepare breakfast and sometimes the kids' lunches and then we leave at 7:48 to ride bikes to school.  Kira can ride pretty fast on Little Bike.  After school, there's a bike club of riders that leave together.  Sometimes Scott rides with them.  Heidi usually picks up Tyler so he doesn't burn up in the heat.

Okay, time for bed.  A new week.

Sounds like a great morning routine! I wish I could do practicing with my kids in the morning but Andalee is sleeping. That is great that the kids all ride their bikes to school. Glad Blake likes the Lexus:)

Danny's Birthday

We went to Monterey again for Danny's birthday and lucked out with amazing weather.  Blake was pretty difficult last time we went so Gle...
