Otay Ranch Mustangs

Today Kailani had a cheer camp with the Otay Ranch High School cheerleaders. They are the Mustangs, not the Broncos:) She really had a great time and is looking forward to cheering with the girls at their Homecoming game in October.

Broncos Game 2

This morning Zachary and I started our day at stroller strides. I love it when I get my workout done early in the morning!
Before heading to Kailani's game, I took a trip to Urgent Care. Wednesday night I was having bad stomach cramps that continued through Thursday morning. I almost didn't go to work except I had too busy of a schedule to miss work. On Wednesday night, I also noticed what I thought was a mosquito bite on my upper arm. It was really itchy and I had other mosquito bites earlier in the week, so it made sense. Thursday morning I noticed it was really red around the outside (not normal for a mosquito bite). My stomach was still bothering me this morning and the redness around the bug bite had grown to the size of a baseball, so I thought I had better go get checked out. The doctor thinks it could be a Black Widow Spider bite! Apparently Black Widow bites cause gastrointestinal problems, which could explain my stomach issues. The bites don't usually become large red circles, but the doctor said that could mean it's getting infected. He told me that the effects of a spider bite usually resolve themselves, but if I didn't feel better by Monday, I should start taking an antibiotic, which he gave me a prescription for. We'll see how I feel in a few days...
Kailani had her second football game today. She and I headed to the game and Jason took Zachary to a bowling birthday party for a little boy in his class. After the party, they met us at the game. Again, the girls did awesome and the Otay Ranch Broncos won their second game of the season 34-0.

Heritage Funhouse Carnival

Today was Kailani's school carnival. We went last year and the kids had a blast. Jason had the day off, so he picked Zachary up early from school. When I got home, we picked Kailani up and headed straight to the blacktop for the carnival. We picked up our tickets and the kids played game after game after game. Kailani kept wanting to play the same games over and over because she just wanted to get the prizes. The kids were so focused on the games that they didn't even go on the rides.
We hung out for about and hour and a half and then Jason and the kids headed home. As a PTO board member, I had to do a shift at the ticket table. Ticket sales were busy!
I took a break for a while and headed back up to the school at the end of the carnival to help count tickets, money, pay vendors, etc. It was a long night, but the carnival made a lot of money for the school. I am amazed at how much money the PTO at Kailani's school can raise. I've never had the experience of working at a school with this level of parent involvement.

Kailani and Zachary went into the petting zoo. A turkey got a little too close to Zachary and he got scared and wanted to get out. I wasn't able to get any pictures of him before he got out.

Fluffy the worm...beetle

A few weeks ago Kailani came home from school and told me she had a worm. I thought it was an art project, but when I went for her open house, I saw that each student had a mealworm on his/her desk in a small cup. Every few days she would talk about her worm, Fluffy. She told me when they fed it apples. She said they were all waiting for the worm to change. I had to "google" mealworms to see what they change into. I didn't realize there was more to them! They actually turn into beetles. Hers recently turned into a chrysalis and she was anxiously awaiting its transformation.
Today when I picked Kailani up from school, she was very excited to be bringing her beetle home with her. She wanted to keep it for a while, but I convinced her to let it go before we went into the house:)

3-Year Check up

Today Zachary had his 3-year check up with Dr. Chang. He continues to grow! Dr. Chang was impressed by how much he spoke to her and by how cooperative he was. He weighs in at 36 pounds, 8 ounces and is 3 feet, 2 1/2 inches tall. He had a hearing test (which he enjoyed) and a vision test. He also got a flu shot. He didn't even squirm...not one tear...not even an "ouch." He is such a big boy!

Missing Daddy

Kailani was missing Daddy today:(

Go Broncos!

Today was the first game of the Broncos football season. Kailani was very excited to cheer for her first Mitey Mite game. She should have cheered one more year for flag football, but they couldn't find a coach, so they combined the flag and mitey mite teams. She is now cheering for tackle football. The girls did a great job cheering today and the boys won 19-0! Zachary enjoys going to the games and yelling, "Go Broncos!"
