Some random happenings in September:

Ryan races in his first mountain bike race. The field was 8 or 9 kids and the class was 14-under. Clearly Ryan was the youngest, and the only one whose first race it was. He did great - came in a 32-ish minutes....a cluster of around 3 guys came in around that time and the leaders (who had been racing on a team all summer) came in around 22-ish minutes.

Here he's getting ready.


Mommy and Ryan.
The field of competitors.

The afterwards....playing around part. The sister thinks she's a monkey.

She really does.


No really, she does.


Earlier in the month, some playground time. Do you ever get too old for see saws and burying each other in sand?






Ryan and his friend Ryan find new ways to hang out at the pool.


And the San Jose Mariachi Festival last weekend:

Sierra and friends


As usual, Sierra wins the hula hooping contest. Those hula/tahitian hips are paying off.
Awesome park downtown with water fountains specifically for kids to cool off and play around.



And finally, even Comet was brought home a souvenir from the festival. He's thrilled.
