I love this guy!

This is my sweet nephew Krieg. I know everybody could use everybody's prayers, but this guy maybe could use a few extra. Read Kirstin's blog for updates . . .

Another first for Stephanie

I remembered to take first-day-of-school pics!!!!

(I know, we took them other years, but either my mom reminded me or we just pretended it was the first day of school.)

Aaron is awesome

He has been spoiling me lately. Mostly cleaning, but also doing things that we have been putting off. Yea!!!

California Dreamin'

A night in San Fransisco without fog . . .

My boys

Lydia loves crab . . .

. . . dressing up . . .

. . . Garrett . . .

. . . and baseball.

Grandma and Grandpa Cousins love baseball too!

Thanks for the fun times!

I told the boys they could get their toes wet.

It turned out to be a little bit more than toes.

We had great seats!!!

Lydia, Weston, Caden, and Aaron and I walked out on the Golden Gate bridge for our first time. It was amazing! I love the color and the size. I love that we can walk across it.

On a clear day . . . you can see forever :)

I love California!!!

We tried to keep this trip low-key, and as a result we ended up at the exploratorium, the golden gate bridge, the A's game, Great-Grandma's house, Children's Wonderland, Great America, Ghiradelli's, Jelly Belly Factory, and a BBQ.

Jack and Greta go on their mission in October (yay!) so we wanted to go visit them. I feel good about this decision. We are so blessed to have had such a smooth journey (one chip in the windshield, one other unmentionable annoyance) and to have gone and returned in such good health and happiness.
