4th Of July Weekend



The above picture is the only actual picture from the 4th of July because I forgot my memory card ... boo!

4th of July weekend was busy, busy, busy! Saturday the 3rd was Grampy's 80th birthday celebration. His party was at a winery with a catered dinner, so the party didn't start until that evening. Our neighbors were celebrating the 4th a day early since a few people were going to be gone, so we all pitched in and ordered the bouncy water slide thingy! The kids played on that thing all day and had a blast!

After playing all morning and into the late afternoon it was time to get ready for Grampy's big bash!

She was the first one ready [cuz hopefully she could sit still the longest] ... but I don't have pictures of the other kids after they were all ready & cute!

Very fun weekend. The kids were able to catch our block fireworks after Grandpa's party ... they were stoked. On the 4th we went over to Ray's Aunt & Uncle's house and swam, grilled out, & had a great time! We went over to his other Aunt's house for fireworks. His Aunt's neighbors go to Reno every year and spend 100 of dollars on some [illegal] fireworks ... they put on a heck of a show for us [well for themselves & we reap the benefits]!

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!
