Fiesta Ranchera Event
My man
The Santa Barbara Music Academy- i love this estate- we got to go to a party here in August and it reminded me that we were very close to getting married here but chose the zoo instead.
Oli and I explored Vestment one day
Fiesta Fun in SB
Airline's almost famous around the zoo
Oil wanted so bad to be old enough to go to VBS- at pick up he'd jump in and sing the songs with his sister
So, this happened when all was quiet and Tally was away at Gymnastics camp. The boys said they are now "Mud Brothers"- they came inside for a wipey to clean up the mud
More Fiesta Fun... Flamenco dancers all over town, Mariachi music, largest equestrian parade in the world - how can you not love Santa Barbara's old Spanish Days
Bacara Beach walk
Oli is also almost famous at the Zoo
Chocolate dipped strawberries
Tally likes to dress her brother in Ballerina clothes and pretend she's he's teacher- poor boy does whatever she says :)

My baby's first day of pre-school.
August was awesome. I stayed busy with getting about 9 new au pairs to my group for my Cultural Care job. The kids did VBS, VBS Soccer, T did gymnastics camp, and dates. We had lots of special people come visit us from out of town- making it feel like we're on vacation just living here. Aaron was selected as one of the business leaders 40 under 40 from SLO county, SB county, or Ventura county. I'm so proud of him. He's still cranking on the Phd and i'm still working on real estate stuff. School just started and all 3 kids will be away at school on Tuesdays and Thursdays and we will home school monday, wednesday, and fridays. Life is full- the kids have started AYSO soccer, Awanas starts soon, Home group is starting up, My monday night women study is starting, and Aaron's on the board of Kids Helping Kids an awesome local non profit doing amazing things for kids around the world. Life is good. What's really nuts is that September is going to be crazy busy with a vacation to Colorado and an Amazing Race Event we are planning for my family through Santa Barbara.
