Momma and Sisters' Visit




My mom and sisters visited for a few days this past week. Before the real fun began they were real troopers and attended several of my aerobic classes, pretty much back to back. Now that's showin' the love. Thanks ladies! I know it was rough, but it was fun to have you there seeing what I love to do. Mom, Leah, and Emilie also attended Asher's soccer practice, with his Dad as coach, and Tatiana's gymnastics. Auntie Em and her kids also payed us a visit late one night. That was fun just hanging out and acting like goof balls. On Thursday the kids took a day off from school and we went to the beach in Santa Monica for 4 hours. Later in the afternoon we visited the LA temple and then drove down Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills and ate dinner at the California Pizza Kitchen close by. Sadly, no celeb sightings. Maybe next time. We had a great time and wish they could have stayed longer. We love you mom and girlies!:)

Kids first day of school







We had a great summer, lots of swimming at the pool, trips to the beach, and a fun and relaxing summer vacation in Idaho. The kids have now started school again on August 13th. Yes, it seems a bit early, but in our school system it all balances out. We have a 3 week Christmas break and 2 week Spring break. So it's all good!! Here are some photos of the kids on their first day of school. I can't believe A is in kindergarten and T is in 4th grade! It was weird to drop them off and go home with no children. But, I've managed to fill my time so far. No rest in sight. I'm still teaching aerobics and tutoring, so that keeps me quite busy. Happy "almost" Fall to you all!
