For my little friend, Kate, Happy birthday!

Kate,
I hope your birthday with Mickey and Minnie was as wonderful as mine!
I know it will be because you have such an amazing mommy (like me:)

Hugs from your CA Aunt Katie

Our Daddy is awesome!



So, Bart made this pact with himself that he would run a marathon a year in his 30's.
And, by golly, he has done it.
This year he ran half of the San Fran Marathon with our friend Sims and then attempted a trail marathon in a nearby park.
We were some of the few and faithful there to cheer him on at the half and end.
Following the likes of some very supportive Heiskells:)

Family Days






Squeezing in as many family days as possible before fall gets into full swing.
August and September are the California equivalent to summer.
Where we get highs in the 80-90's with no AC:)
That is where the Pacific Ocean comes in handy with is freezing cold water and fog!

We have been camping, taking trips into San Fran on the ferry, using our summer reading passes at museums and for free ice cream!

Summer Camp


So my oldest went to camp for the first time.
For some reason it made me feel VERY OLD.
Seems like just yesterday MY mom was writing me letters everyday at camp.
My big girl absolutely loved every minute of it.
Glad I am learning now to let her go...
little by little.

Summer time fun

Haircuts!



Well...
we said goodbye to our long, long locks.
We all went to the hair salon today and Miss Virginia helped us create wonderful summer do's.
So, I went first and donated my 10 inches.
I think the other girls were a little scared off by my really short cut, so they went a little more moderate:)

Donating to Locks of Love anyway.
Fun story to tell.
And pictures to make
Will do before and after shots later.
