August 2006
August turned out to be a RAINY month! I know it can be, but this month was crazy rainy. The kids got some major cabin fever. And well, so did I.

On the 14th, I attended Mary's Yogafit class. It felt really good. I was sore and sweatty but it was all worth it.

The 15th, we taught the girls how to ride their bikes, with no training wheels. It was a really HOT day too! Sydney took off like a champ.

Hailey on the other hand.....freaked out and cried she couldn't do it. After some time, she figured it out. Then the next day, wouldn't you know it.....it RAINED...and it rained for 13 days straight. Every moment they had to practice they were outside on the driveway....Sydney is so determined she was out there one day IN the rain. She is persistant!

We finally made it to the zoo this summer. I am mad at myself for not going more. I just wish it wasn't so far.

Our MOMS Club BBQ was cancelled due to rain and mudd. All the hot dogs and buns were frozen and we hope to plan maybe a Halloween party. That would be FUN! Something to dicuss at the board & membership meeting!

First day of school......YAH!!! Aug 22nd. Hailey was sooo excited. She was up at 1am & 2am wanting to get ready for her 1st day. Since she had so many school supplies, Sydney and I took her on the first day. And again, it was raining!!! Her teacher is Ms Jones. She seems very nice and well organized. I think this is going to be a great year!

The Alaska State Fair started the 24th....and this is the first year, school started before the fair. It's a bummer too, cause now we have to wait until after 3:30pm to go. I think we will go tomorrow (29th) after Hailey gets out of school... Let's hope the sun stays shining!

Sushi Party!!! Yah, Scottie's dad is visiting from CA and hosted a sushi party. The food was awesome and the company of good friends always makes it even better. I look forward to more gatherings as Scottie's dad bought a house here in AK. I am so excited for her.

Well, I should go....Sydney is in the shower by herself. She is feeling all grown up in there alone. I can only imagine, there is soap everywhere!
Until next time.....
