Chula Vista Lemon Festival

This past Sunday (Aug. 9th) we went down to the Chula Vista Lemon Festival. Turns out it is just a few blocks of street fair type food and shopping, with some kiddie rides thrown in. The main reason we went was because Olivia's ballet/tap class was performing along with the other Rec. center dance classes. We also enjoyed some ice cold lemonade!

Here is Olivia all dressed and ready to dance.

Olivia was not blessed to have a mom who can do fancy hair so this ballet bun was a major accomplishment. With a lot of pins, hairspray, and a visit to the internet this was the end result.

One last practice before the girls dance in front of an audience.

Why aren't they always this nice to each other?

Waiting for the recital to start. Jacob is a very proud big brother.

Here they come!

Olivia was smiling and having fun and that's the most important part of the dance.

A quick change into play clothes and we had time for a few rides.

We're Sorry

To our loyal fans we are sorry that we haven't kept up on the blog! We still can't figure out where time goes. The camera never stops clicking but it's hard to sit down and get something done. Here is a quick picture review of the past few months.


Jacob finished T-ball in May and received a trophy and signed baseball.


We took a trip to the zoo to see the new Elephant Odyssey.
We went out to Fort Rosecrans to visit Grandma and Grandpa.

Jacob wanted to see if Grandma's name was added correctly.


Jacob received an Academic Achievement award in June.


He shook some maracas in the End of the Year Kindergarten performance.

He closed out the show by asking parents to meet their kids on the playground.


Saying goodbye to his Kindergarten teacher and hello to first grade.
We saw baby doves at Grandma and Grandpa's house in Ramona on Father's Day.
Olivia still has bandages but her nose is looking better.

Olivia went back to ballet!
Practicing for her recital in August.
Stay tuned for Vail Lake, the San Diego fair, Fourth of July, and more!
