:: Cruisin' ::

The whole family went bike riding today on the board walk, it was a beautiful San Diego day. Something about the saltwater smell that rejuvinates me. We passed many people playing volleyball in their bikinis..in December!!  Evan took a spill in a bush, left with a few scratches but was ok. A few minutes later Evan was stopping and I hit him and fell over in slow motion. Malia (who was on the back of the bike) acted like that was normal and didn't even make a peep. 3 out of 4 of us fell and all that was hurt was my pride!

:: Cowles Mountain with Malia ::

Malia and I took a beautiful hike up Cowles Mountain today with some friends. It was hard, but worth it!

:: zoo day ::

We just had a family day at the zoo (thanks Nana and Papa for the membership) and it was awesome! This was the first time Malia got to explore the zoo (she went when she was a baby) so she loved everything.  She liked the bug exhibit and touched a huge bug, but got scared of the otters, go figure :)
Enjoy the pics of our little monkeys!

:: Christmas Fun ::

Can't believe December is already in full force!  I know we all say it, but time flies! Evan is finishing his school year at his preschool. He was accepted into the EAK (early acceptance kindergarten) program at Fletcher Hills Elementary, a school right up the hill from us. It's state funded program for those kids who are 5 but missed the cutoff date to enter kindergarten. He will start January 17th and go through june, have a summer break then start kindergarten at the same school. We are really excited for him, he'll go 7:55 to 2:15 everyday and most likely have to give up his naps (thank God he napped this long!) It's going to be a big, new step for him and I think he's going to love it.


Malia and I will start the same mommy and me preschool Evan went to as a toddler, it's once a week.


We wish you all happy holidays!!! xoxo
