BMX Fun!

If your family is like mine than you understand how difficult it is to find a sport that all children enjoy doing. Aside from Soccer, which is one sport we found earlier this (school) year that all three of my kiddos enjoyed playing, we have discovered BMX riding.

Lately, my husband has been taking them to BMX riding clinics. Now although, those of you who know me well, know that I pride myself in having a hubby that will take the kids and give me my peace on Saturday mornings to either catch up on my sleep or the many chores around the house. This Saturday however, my youngest daughter asked if I would go and watch them ride.

It turned out to be such a great day, it was so much fun to watch my little munchkins make it up those steep hills. The look of concentration on their faces and satisfaction when they made it to the end. Not only did I find it fun, I almost wanted to grab a bike myself! Although I have to say that that starting gate does scare me just a little bit.

After the bike ride, we enjoyed a nice hike in the Cleveland National Forest. When we got home ofcourse I was ready for a nap but those munchkins were only ready for round two of bike rides!

Locks of Love

My little "Gloria Trevi" who has always had long straight hair has gone short! She donated 10 inches to Locks of Love this morning. Our stylist did such a great job, she loves it!

Summer Again!

It's been a long time since I've posted anything! Summer is here again! 2010 right in the middle of summer and already taking my "Back to School" shopping inventory =)

And even though I told myself that I would steer clear of summer camps, we have had a great time in them the past month. Jackson attended a Lego camp, Frances did a few tennis camps, and we've done two summer swim sessions! Along with our regular activities like going to the beach and Hapkido =) Coming up in a couple weeks is a week long surf camp, Daddy has already taken Frankie to buy a new wetsuit, she's excited.

Still on our list for summer is visiting the farmers market and Mommy and Daddy's alone time in Napa! Woohoo, can't wait for that one! Thank you Gma Shauna for watching the kiddos ;D

Happy Birthday Auntie Megan!

What a wonderful weekend it has been. Too bad it's the end of summer but in celebration we have spent it all together...so nice! Yesterday the girls and I went to a Girlscout pool party, while Daddy and Jackson hung out. When we got back Daddy took the girls out to dinner and Jackson and I ordered pizza and watched a movie.

Today we skipped out on church for some last minute fun at the beach (I know we're awful, lol). It was nice, Frances and I were actually learning to bodyboard! After the beach we all went to the movies to watch Ponyo and the kids actually sat through the whole thing.

It's been a fun summer, mostly chill with no schedule to worry about, now it's back to school this week. Jackson starts kindergarten and Frances can't wait to go to 1st grade. Emily will start preschool next week and boy is she excited. I will have some much needed time to myself ;)

Below are some pics from the Mother-Daughter campout last week, that was fun too, can't believe I'm getting so adventurous! haha
