First hair cut by mom

Aidans hair has been getting longer so I thought that I would attempt to save some money and cut it myself. My cousin cuts hair so she kinda walked me through what I needed to do…but quite frankly she made it look about a million times easier.

Plus first hair cut on a squirming 3 year old was an added challenge.

Not bad for my first attempt. But I think I can find other ways to save that $20

Hanging out with mommy at the timeshare in San Diego

Saturday in San Francisco

Today we woke up early and headed to our favorite place the "crepevine" for breakfast and then over to the California Academy of sciences. They had some really great natural history exhibits as well as a large aquarium down stairs. Aidan really loved it.

Then we popped over to raider image to pick up a few raider items before the game…and to give Bill a teaser for all his excitement for tomorrow. It also gave us a destination whie the kids slept in the backseat. San Francisco is an awesome city could use some improvements to be more child (aka stroller) or vehicle friendly .

After naps we went to crissy field which is just east of golden gate park. I have never been back in that area and I can’t believe I had been missing it all these years!!! I llove going to the palace of fine arts but I didn’t realize that just a stones throw was a majestic walk right through the marina and with the awesome view of the golden gate. Loved it!! Aidan flew one of the cheap kites I had lying in the back of the van. He lloved it. I brought my old blanket and we stayed as the sun set over the golden gate. I got to play with my camera and caught a few good shots of the kids. This was one of Maddie Mei. Perfect late afternoon activity.

After we drove back to the hotel, had dinner and kids and dad crashed before 9p.

Tomorrow Bill wants the family AT the raiders hotel in oakland BY 10am….(game starts at 1p) …guess he is excited.

Off to bed for our early call time

Morning in Pismo…

Last night we started our journey for our annual trip to San f
Francisco and Oakland. We stopped in Pismo at "our" hotel – the hotel we stayed at the night he proposed. We will have breakfast and then head up to San francisco for two days and then to Oakland for the Sunday football game. A perfect "his" and "hers" anniversary vacation!!

This was our first morning traveling with the two alone

Dinner talk

We received our notice that aidan has been accepted into preschool for the fall. It will be great for aidan as I think he is ready for the activities and learning opportunities he will receive. Aidan will go two days a week started in september.

So tonight Bill had this conversation with him:

Bill: "Aidan, what are you going to learn in preschool?"
Aidan: "about Jesus."
Bill: "what else"
Aidan: "about college."

He has high expectations.

Feet to feet naptime

Naptime today aidan wanted to sleep by madison so I faced him the other direction. So cute.
