Adventures with Mimi

Mimi celebrated her 62nd Birthday on Saturday!  It was an extra-special one, as she made a trip up to San Francisco so that my sister Lindsey and I could enjoy a mother-daughter-sister weekend away!  Mimi came a day early so that she could play and visit with Amelia and Audrey and catch up with Brad.

Before we headed to the city, Mimi was able to see both girls' classrooms, and take in a Menlo School football game while Brad was coaching.




Audrey pushing her way through all the football players to help her self to a CUPCAKE!


Mimi showed me how to use my sewing machine!  late at night and after a few glasses of wine!

She was able to see audrey at her finest during WPNS toddler class on Friday morning.

Pinkalicious Power!

This year Amelia is old enough to play AYSO soccer - she is on a team of all girls around 5 years old.  The jerseys are hot pink and a sister of one of the teammates helped the 5 year olds pick the team name - "Pinkalicious Power!"   She has the full getup - shingards (she has fit into the same size for the last 3 years!), cleats, soccer socks, pink ball and full uniform.  So very official.

Ironically they dont' even play an official game!  In lieu of practice during the week, they have a one hour block on saturdays where they spend the first half hour doing drills and practicing, then the second half hour is spent scrimmaging against their own team.  It works out great, but the girls are clearly just learning how to play a game with just one ball!








School Days!


It is that time of year again!  I love this time of year, but it is incredibly busy!  Both Amelia and Audrey are in a preschool program this fall:  

Amelia is in the Young Five's "Explorers" at New Beginnings Preschool at First Baptist Church.  This year, Conor Klas and Jackson Parker (two of her friends back from WPNS days) are in her class, as well as several kids of moms that I've meet through Junior League.

Amelia's annual first day of school picture on our front door (Vegas included):


Amelia in front of her school door - she is in Miss Kayla's class this year.  Note the excitement!  She should be- Amelia's teach is pretty awesome.  


Audrey is in the Friday Toddler Class at Woodside Parents Nursery School.  It is a co-op so I go with her during the entire class.  Her teacher is Miss Karen.  We have some old friends in the class as well which always makes it more fun!

Audrey was not amenable to a formal picture...

Here she is checking out the fish (insert fish sound here) at the water fountain

This is as close as I got to a formal first day photo

Super excited to get dirty!

Newfound love for play-doh!

Loves trucks!  Especially ones that rock!


On her second week of school, they had finger paint out for the toddlers.  Audrey was the only one interested in it enough to paint - she first painted the paper, then her hands, then her face... saying "pretty" as she spread it around her face.  Audrey cleared the table of the kids - I think they were scared of her and the parents were looking at me like i was crazy!  hey - they are supposed to do that stuff here!  not at home  :)






Escape to the Big Island

Back in August we stole a nice week or so away from reality and relaxed on the big island of Hawaii.  We stayed at the Mauna Kea resort and enjoyed lots of swimming at the beach and in the pool, making sandcastles, kayaking, morning runs, too many Fredricos, some golf, picnics at the beach and family time!
