This morning Sim, Ana, and I loaded up in the car and drove south of Salem to the Enchanted Forest. We met some of our friends who drove up from Bend and we all had a great time as we walked through the Storybook Lane, rode on some fun rides, and even watched “Hansel and […]

We went to Seaside for the 4th of July festivities this year. We enjoyed the small town parade, hung out with our families and spent the time leading up to the fireworks camped out on the beach. The kiddos (we went with our friends, the Whislers, so Ana was able to play with “her boyfriends” […]

Alternately titled, “Baby’s Got Some New Wheels!”
The other day Sim, Ana, and I stopped by the sporting goods store to check out some skates. Sim was interested in the in-line variety and Ana just wanted to be included. So we picked up a new pair of Rollerblades for Sim and some pretty purple roller skates […]
Ana’s First “Shuffle, Point, Swing” Class
June 28th, 2010 · No Comments
Today Ana started her first “Shuffle, Point, Swing” (an intro to tap, ballet, jazz and a little hip hop) class. She has been eager for this class to start since I signed her up for it months ago. And the class did not disappoint! Teacher Katie, amazing as always, has the ability to mesmerize a […]
Ana’s First Tumbling Class
June 25th, 2010 · No Comments
This last Wednesday Ana went to her very first Tumbling class.
She took pre-gymnastics last year, but that was a parent participation class. Tumbling she does ALL. ON. HER. OWN. And Ana, my Little Miss Independent, could not be happier about this. Ana was quick to point out that they didn’t do any actual “tumbling” […]
Tons of MOMS Club Fun

For those of you who don’t already know, I’m a member of the MOMS Club of North Beaverton. (Ok, ok. I’m actually the president…for the second year in a row. I just can’t “do” anything halfway. I know.) We do the vast majority of all our fun activities through the MOMS Club. It has been […]

Today I got an email from Bethany over at the Sport Princess Blog informing me that ANA WON THE CONTEST! Now before you get too excited, she didn’t win the Grand Prize for the most votes (but a huge THANK YOU to all of you who DID vote) but she was the second Grand Prize […]
Happy HALF Birthday, Ana!
June 9th, 2010 · No Comments
Ana has been so excited about being three and a half that we actually started counting down toward the big day. Well today, June 9th, is that day. So all day long I would say things like “Of course you can watch some more TV. It’s your HALF birthday today!” or “Sure, we can have […]
My Little Ballerina

Ana had another ballet recital today (the last day of her “Tip Toes” Ballet class is always a “recital” performed on the stage). It amazes me how well she is doing in her ballet class. I know she has been doing it for a year and a half, but she’s only three! Heck, I couldn’t […]

Ana’s Got a New Pair of Shoes
April 28th, 2010 · 3 Comments
I signed Ana up for a “Shuffle, Point, Swing” (a combo of ballet, tap and jazz) class this summer so I knew eventually she would need a pair of tap shoes. Today while we were waiting for Sim to meet us at our favorite Thai place, we went into Dance Togs next door to pick […]
