Trip to go see cousin Porter.

Everyone was finally healthy, so we got to all go see Porter. Porter is two months old now. He is so cute.

This was the only semi-decent photo with all the kids. Ian doesn't sit very well for photos.
Proud daddy.

Porter was actually awake.







The girls love their Aunt Kiki!





Kaeli did a mission report last year, so we went by the San Luis Obispo Mission. Alyssa kept wondering who turned the man into stone.





The girls had a great time playing in the ocean.










Ian was drawing in the sand.






Look at that smile!






Ian destroyed someone's castle.









Ian actually figured out how to climb out of this hole by himself.




What a great weekend!




Water Balloons

We recently discovered Ian loves water balloons. Kaeli couldn't fill them up fast enough for him.

Happy 4th of July!

The weekend of the 4th we went to Jason and Shelby's house. In Galt you are still allowed to set off fireworks in the street. The kids started off throwing poppers. Ian kept throwing them behind him, but they still worked.





They enjoyed standing in the smoke bombs.







Nathan was getting a little crazy!





All lined up to watch the show.




Our collection of fireworks.




Ian didn't like the bright flashing fireworks.





The animals even enjoyed the show. The girls took their animals everywhere that weekend.

























The animals enjoyed the swings.







Everyone took turns walking on water.
























Getting ready to play Marco Polo.








The girls thought it was funny during the game to just sit and be silent.











Belly flop!







We all had a great 4th of July!




Alyssa's second birthday celebration.

For Alyssa's second birthday celebration we all went to Contra Loma pool and then came back home for presents and cupcakes. I didn't buy a cake because all Alyssa does is eat the frosting and leaves the cake.






She celebrated with her cousins from Galt.



Her friend Arianna came.


Kaeli and Andrew enjoyed their cupcakes.




Natasha was so excited about the present she got for Alyssa!



Natasha got Alyssa a smaller version of the parrot that she has. You can see Natasha's parrot to the left in the picture.




Kaeli bought her sister an outfit and she used her own money.







Grandpa and grandma Behrmann got Alyssa a ball that you stick a water balloon in, pass it around and when the timer goes off it pops. They also got her some more Polly Pockets.






Happy Birthday 7 year old!
