Blue Ribbons

I'm training for a 2 half marathons, so today  I ran 8 miles with the girls. We have such a great running group. There is always someone running somewhere. Before and after our run...

After my run, Kailani and I went to Heritage Park for a special event planned for the San Diego police officer who was killed in the line of duty on Thursday night. Although Officer DeGuzman was a SD officer, he lived in Chula Vista and his daughter attended Heritage. The mayor of Chula Vista and the Chief of police were at the event to speak and then we all hung blue ribbons on the trees to show our support for the officer and his family. Later on this evening, we attended a candle light vigil that was planned for the family. There were a lot of people from the community there, including all of the teachers and many students from Heritage.

The kitties love to drink from the sink!

Kailani and Zachary are collecting tsum tsum bracelets from the Disney Store each week. Since we go to the store a lot, the kids like to spend their extra money there. This week Kailani bought a large tsum tsum with a birthday gift card from Becky. With her purchase, Zachary was able to get one for only $5.

Wolf Den

Tonight was the first Cub Scout meeting of the school year. Zachary is now a wolf.

Another boy joined our den now, so we officially have 2 wolves. Jason started they boys on the belt loops that are required for advancement. Here are the boys learning how to tie knots.

Happy Birthday Kailani!

I can't believe we have a 10 year old!! Double digits:)

Kailani chose Corvette Diner for her birthday lunch.

First Day of School

The summer went by so quickly...and just like that we're back in school. We officially have a 5th grader and a 2nd grader. Kailani has Sra. Portillo this year for 5th grade dual immersion. Ms. Guinn is her English teacher. Zachary has Sra. Lagman for 2nd grade (who was Kailani's teacher for 2nd grade) and Mrs. Eddington for English (also a previous teacher of Kailani's).

 Zachary is in room 503 and Kailani is in room 703.

Tonight Zachary had a meet n greet with his football team. We had an enchilada dinner fundraiser and got to meet his coach (same as last year) and all of his teammates. Conditioning starts on Monday!

Last Days of Summer

We are trying to get the most out of our summer, so we headed to Aquatica today with Kaia and Layla.
On the way in...

On the way out...

Bowling

Today Zachary had a bowling event with Cub Scouts. The pack scheduled a few events throughout the summer. If the boys attend at least one event each month during the summer, they get a special award.

I had a shower for one of my friends who is due with her baby girl in September.

We headed to another Padres game this evening, but I didn't get any photos.

Play it Safe

Today we went to a Play it Safe self defense workshop hosted by one of my friends' Girl Scout troops. The kids learned how to protect themselves in situations where they are bullied, approached by a stranger, or even being abducted. All of the children in scouts earned a patch for attending.

This evening I met some friends downtown for a run by the water. We started at Spanish landing and ran 7 miles to Petco Park. I met up with the rest of the family, who was already at the Padres game. The other girls headed back to the starting point. We stopped for a picture in front of one of the hotels. The city was all decorated for the Pride festivities.

 Tonight was Ghostbusters night at Petco Park. On our way out we stopped for a photo.
