California's Great America

For the last few years we have made a trip to Great America with Ray's whole family. That was the plan this year too, but with Grampy's 80th birthday the next weekend most of them skipped the trip to Great America this year to finish last minute things for the party. We missed our entourage, but had a blast anyways. A couple of his Aunt's, his Uncle, & a couple of his cousins tagged along. The weather was pretty awesome, not nearly as hot as it has been in the past, but hot enough to still enjoy the water park!

Miss Movie Star

Runnin' around like a wild man

Headed down the slide

Down pour

Even with silly faces she's still beautiful

Allie is finally tall enough for the big swings ... which means she was tall enough for the Demon [which goes upside down] & some other big roller coasters! She's not afraid of much!

Soarin' high

Dae got to go on swings too ... but the smaller ones! He loves them none the less!




It's blurry, but funny! Our cuzos!
So sweet & too cute for his own good!
Miss thang

Lil stud

We can't leave until we've had a funnel cake ... mmm, mmm, good!

Daddy's Day

We had so much fun for Mother's Day we thought we'd do a take 2 on it. We took the kids to Golden Gate Park in San Francisco & then headed to Pier 39.

Justin totally loves the zip line

Daddy & Kailee going down the mini cement slide

Alliyah & Kailee attempting to go down the mini slide ... they had a bit of a crash landing!

We forget we're adults sometimes

King of the hill

These are backwards & I'm too lazy to fix them. Kailee & I were racing and here is proof that she was totally cheating ... she is totally grabbing my arm! lOl!

P.S. I still won!

Given Kai a spin!

Allie's turn

We were all getting hungry so we headed to Pier 39 for some din-din!

Kailee got her own crab

& did all the work herself ... & it enjoyed it just a lil!

We ♥ San Francisco!

Daddy & his boys

Daddy & his girles

Happy Father's Day, babe! We ♥ you!

And after much anticipation ...

She's bacccck! Yay! I know I say it every time, but I really can't explain what it's like to have our family together! It's never less then amazing!

Is she here yet, is she here yet?!

Big squeezes
Even bigger squeezes

Don't worry sissy ... I can handle this!
All of our babes!

Home.Sweet.Home

Happy Graduation

Officially a kindergartner ... bitter sweet for sure! Damon has been through a lot in his little life, so this graduation is even a little more special then usual! We are over the moon with proud-ness (likey that word, eh?)! He has grown so much and come so far over the last two years so a celebration is well deserved!

Taking a few pixs before we head to school
Mwah ... give Daddy loves

Kisses for my buddy

Cheeeese

Here come the graduates

He was one of the kids picked to lead the class in a song & dance! He LOVES music & dancing! He can recognize a song after hearing two notes and can memorize a song after hearing three times!

Caught him looking!

Proud parents!!
