Chef Petite Piper

Our neighbor had a cooking challenge for Piper.  His granddaughter had recently made him breakfast that included an omelet she made by herself.  Juan though Piper could do that same thing but she took it to the next level.  She create her own menu of items she could make all on her own and it was a big hit! They were really impressed.  IMG_7802 Mr. Juan and Joanne who live across the street from us.  The are so sweet!  Mr. Juan dressed for the occasion.IMG_7833The menu for Piper’s and Pickle’s CafeIMG_7785 (1) Slicing tomatoes like her daddy taught her to create the Caprese saladIMG_7787 (1) Yummy!IMG_7798 Mini pizzas made from a baguette topped with mozzarella and tomato sauce  IMG_7789 (1) Her signature desert… chocolate covered strawberriesIMG_7797 (1)A rare rainbow over the mountains

First Day of School

School is finally here.  Piper starts second grade and Andrew will be in transitional kindergarten.  I love how motivated everyone is to get to school on time for the first day! Piper was a little nervous but excited.  Andrew was excited and happy!  DSC_0165 (1) DSC_0166 DSC_0167 IMG_7810 Hight Point is celebrating 50 yearsIMG_7811IMG_7815 IMG_7817Mrs. Elby!

Meet the Teacher

School is finally starting!  We saw Andrew’s classroom on Tueday night.  He will have Mrs. Elby who Piper had when she was 5.  He is looking forward to school and it should be a good year.  IMG_7770 IMG_7775 Today we saw Piper’s classroom and met Mrs. Shaw.  Looks like a busy year!IMG_7776 IMG_7778 Mrs. ShawIMG_7773 Andrew’s cubbyIMG_7777 Piper’s deskIMG_7780 Piper will now play on the lower playground.  Yes, it’s 106 and they are playing…so hotIMG_7792Lunch with friends

Eaton Caynon Hike

We attempted a hike in Eaton Canyon but it was really too hot.  The beautiful oak tree at the end of the path had fallen over.  It was a sad sight to see.  IMG_7756 IMG_7758 Looks pretty dry out there…IMG_7757 IMG_7766 Before we left we stopped at the Nature Center and got to see a dessert turtle get a bath.  He was so cute!  IMG_7763 IMG_7760 IMG_7769Then we stopped for an ice cream treat at Mother Moos.

Cooking with Uncle David

We have been enjoying our time with Uncle David.  We’ve spent a lot of time watching him cook and learning new recipes.  We also have enjoyed hearing all his stories. It’s nice we had this time together!IMG_7750
