Georgia Gets Her EarsPierced

I never saw someone give themself 'bunny ears' in a photo before.

 I just coached a fun season of VYBA and had Parker and Daphne on my team. It was a blast!

 Ella became a different person when facing her cousins in competition.  She was fiercely competitive, getting steals, jump balls and playing amazingly well.

 I hope the parents didn't see me make this face.

Parker setting an almost legal screen.  She really turned it on when the games got close.  I learned that she thrives under stressful situations.  When it came down to the wire in a close game, Parker put the ball on the floor and drove to the basket scoring to tie the game.  In another game, she scored to put us in the lead.

Becoming a Great Writer

Peachy-Girl is becoming quite the writer at school.  She's won Author of the Month two years in a row based on her teacher's recommendation.  Here's something she wrote recently that impressed me.

My First Selfie

I thought it'd be cool for my first selfie to be shot under my house while replacing a 60 year old iron sewer line. I haven't cursed out loud that much in a very long time.

Zippity Ziplining in Tahoe

You're a grand ol' flag as interpreted by Georgia.

Three on a Match at The Deer Lodge 7-5-14

Here's a couple of videos from last night. Thanks for all who came to upper Ojai for a gig that started at 11 pm at night!

Best Father's Day present...so far.

I received this book mark from Georgia for Father's Day this year. 

The front was cute but the back... 

was memorable.

That's some really good advice! For the record, I do not say that although I've heard Laura tell this to the kids occasionally. I'm sure her teacher (who wrote was Georgia recited) got a kick out of writing this little tidbit on a Father's Day present. I have it hanging in my office...I love it.

Mother's Day 2014

Georgia is funny, even when she isn't trying to be. Below is Georgia's Mother's Day book she gave to Laura yesterday. She didn't waste any time innocently calling out her mother's love of wine. Also, Georgia has a little bit of work to do on her understanding of height and weight in terms of numbers, but a 40 ft tall Laura is a good guess!!

There's just no room in bed for me nor the cat.
