First Day of Kindergarten
There he is our big Joey! He is such a smart boy and was so excited to start Kindergarten. I will take this chance to brag it up. He is in the all day program at school becasue he was one of the top four testers for kindergarten so he is a peer model. Basically, he is in the all day class so he can help those that need help catching up with all of the other students. He has been working hard this summer and has learned to count and write to 100, sound out simple words and stories, and do basic addition and subtraction. I am a proud mother! He is a great big brother and wonderful son!
Lining up to go into Mrs. Gardner's classroom.
We are having Joey ride his bike to school and we run pushing Jon and Arabella in the jog stroller. It has been really fun! Joey is so much better at riding his bike!
First Karate Tournament
These first few pictures are of the barbecue afterwards. We took our shaved ice machine and of course it was a big hit.
There was a water fight. Each of the kids that participated received a squirt gun with their medals. Jon did not participate in the tournament but managed to have a great time getting himself and others wet.
You could not get Arabella to let go of her watermelon, she ate two pieces! We love our peanut!
Joey with his medal -Yea!!
Joey doing his form. For Joey's age group they have someone do the form with them. He has become so much more coordinated and we are working on his strength. Joey also did sparring and ther is a video at the end of this blog.
Final Summer Hike
Joey climed all the way up these rocks by himself and Jon had minimal help from dad. Apparently this is a popular rock climbing spot; you could see all sorts of caribeeners and chains for climbing and repelling.
This is how the trail ended. The boys obviously felt they should and could just keep climbing up.
9th Anniversary
S'mores baked cheesecake (my first baked cheesecake)-so delicious!
The happy couple!
We had baked salmon, monterey shrimp, chiqaritos and guacamole (apptizer), spring mix greens with feta and craisins and a yummy homemade dressing, and grilled corn on the cob!
The boys were really good sports and tried everything. Joey loved the chiqaritos and Jon loved the shrimp. Arabella tried some fish and seemed to like it!

We heard of a short familyfriendly hike up on Mount Charleston and decided it would be a fun way to end our summer before Joey started school. Joey and Jon really did well on the hike despite a few really tall steps. Arabella loves riding in the backpack because she is up so high and can see so much!

9th AnniversaryWe could not decide what to do for our anniversary. Finally, we stole an idea I saw on my friend Wendy's blog. We spent the afternoon cooking a "gourmet" meal together. The boys had a great time helping us shop for, prepare and eat the food. It really was a great day! Peter and the kids suprised me with flowers and a delicious breakfast when I got home that morning from work.
