Baking for #1

For Willa's First Birthday, my cousins and I made a pizza dinner and topped off with a birthday cake. We had fun cooking for everyone. 

Merry Christmas

(this has been named the "Cutest Picture Ever."  I have to agree)

Converse!

Nonnie Liz got me some new converses for Christmas!!!

Swimming. In December.

We moved here over 5 years ago and have been looking for a full length wet suit in my size ever since.  We finally found one at Goodwill while searching for a Halloween Costume. 

Family Game Night

Zoo, Zoo, Zoo

We had off of school and work today due to Veteran's Day.  So we went to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo

Happy Halloween!

Sushi and the Movies

We went to the movies and then had sushi afterwards. 

All dressed up and nowhere to go

Thanks to Nonnie Liz and Grandpa Bill for continuing to supply my wardrobe (and now Willa's!)

Fondue

We scored a brand new fondue pot for free at a garage sale a while back.  I finally made fondue tonight.  And have discovered another fancy cheese I fancy: Gruyere. 

Trip to L.A.

We took a road trip this weekend to visit Ruby and Oliver.  I had a great time.

Super Hot

Wow.  never thought it would get this hot in SF.  Temperatures are almost 100F!  We went to Ocean Beach to cool off (and saw the rest of San Francisco there too). 

Royal Cafe

The Royal Cafe is open for business!

First Day of School

I started at a new school today.  My family joined me at drop off so I could meet my new teacher.  I found out there is one other kid in my grade who is also new. 

Can you tell?

Can you tell how much I love my sister? 

Trip to Ohio

I had fun visiting my family in Ohio this summer.

Climbing Camp

1st week of Summer Camp!  Glen Canyon Rec Center opened up their new climbing wall.  I am one of the first to try it out.  It's pretty awesome!

Last Day at AVS

Today was my last day at Alta Vista School.  I've been here for the past 5 years.  I'm going to miss my friends but will still be in town so we can have play dates! 

Skate Party

The end of an era.  We had our last Skate Party today. 

Grandparents and Special Friends Day

Grandma Juanita was here this past week.  I *finally* got to ride the cable car and we showed her around San Francisco, including a trip to the Marine Mammal Center and the beach!  Mommy Laura and Willa took her down Route 1 to the Strawberry Farm and out for seafood.
