Batter up!

Took Evan to his first Giants game. Kiira has been to one before. They lasted about 2 innings, which, really was only because it took us that long to find cotton candy and that long for them to make themselves sick on it. The rest of the time, I took the kids up to where they could hit a real baseball and take it some other sights. Tried to at least let Alan enjoy the game :-)

Ruling the roost

Our animals still rule the roost.....the cat's in the bag and of course, Rennie the ottoman. Wouldn't be a home without them :-)

Scorching. Pool is good. 'Nuff said.

Kiira's Marin Ballet performance

This year, Kiira switched to Marin Ballet. She has thoroughly enjoyed it. Her friend Samantha joined her here and they have so much fun going together (and a little carpool never hurt the moms!) We often hear about the fact that she will be in the Nutrcracker December 2011. This is what she has been working towards the last few years.

The new ballet studio, unlike Roco, does performances in house. They have a cute little stage and although the costumes are much more simple than the last place, Kiira seemed to take as much pride and joy in her performance. Alas, the performance was for a mere 200 vs 3000 people.

Kiira's first piano recital

We are all Sound of Music fans so that is what Kiira decided to play. Surprisingly she was more nervous about introducing herself on the microphone than playing the piece.

Kiira in leadline - Sonoma Horse Park horse show

Kiira rode once again in a horse show. This time she got to ride Macquarie's pony Joey (aka Tin Soldier). She looked so cute on Joey. She did a great job and took home a blue ribbon! It was a super cold windy day and she was a trooper. She was very excited and I was very proud of her!
