First Day Of School

Today was the first day for Baylee and Riley. Baylee is now in sixth grade and has moved on to middle school. Riley is now in the fourth grade. They both were really sad to have summer come to an end as am I. Can't wait to see how their day went today. Asher starts preschool next month. He will be going two days a week. It will be a year full of drop off and pick ups for Lorelei. I am sure it will be a great one though. (The second picture is from 2007, second and kinder) Just wanted to see how much they have changed.

Hollywood Bowl Star Wars for Rileys Birthday

Last night we celebrated Riley's ninth birthday at the Hollywood Bowl. The kids had a great time. We had a picnic dinner on the grounds outside then enjoyed the show. We had a babysitter that night (our second time ever, the first being last week) so that made it even better because we were able to just sit back and enjoy. Here is a little about the show. I made the shirts for the kids the morning of the show. I had been planning on making them for a couple months now but that's how I roll these days. I think I like the thrill of a deadline.

On Friday, June 3 and Saturday June 4, 2011, the famed amphitheater will host the unique multi-media event featuring music from all six of John Williams' epic Star Wars scores. Narrated live by Anthony Daniels (the actor who portrayed C-3PO in all six films), the production features principal conductor Dirk Brossé leading the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and choir, accompanied by specially edited footage from the films displayed on a three-story-tall, high-definition LED super-screen -- one of the largest ever put on tour. The live music and film elements are synchronized in order to create a full multi-media, one-of-kind Star Wars experience.
