Sacramento - Part 1

We headed up to Sacramento 2 weeks ago for a 4 day weekend.  My brother from Salt Lake City was there as well, so we had a little mini family reunion (besides my sister who lives in Germany).  It was a lot of fun!  We took tons of pictures, so I'm going to break this up for you!

We arrived on Thursday evening, and Friday morning we headed to the park down the street with Danny to let him get out some of his energy - that kids has a lot of it!  Here are some of the pictures:

He LOVED these little spring vehicles!  He had a blast!

BUBBLES!

And here are some pictures of Danny playing & eating in Lito y Lita's backyard (grandma & grandpa)

He LOVED the blackberries!

Gardening...or at least throwing some dirt around

Playing with Cousin Jonathan

More pictures to come tomorrow!

Kenneth's B-Day!

Kenneth celebrated his 28th birthday last month on the 21st. We had a wonderful day together and were able to celebrate with some time alone. Danny and Emily were watched by our friend while we went to Santa Monica for the day.

We headed to Santa Monica and went all all the rides on the pier. We had a great time acting like little kids, and watching the kids themselves. They were all so cute and were so excited to be there. I'm excited to take our own kids there someday!

Cute kid singing (with his brother) on the pier

I hate snakes!!  Gross!

After going on several rides, we headed to Bubba Gump Shrimp (also on the pier).  I was actually brave and ordered shrimp!  Even more amazing...I liked it!

La Jolla Tidepools

A few weeks back we headed to La Jolla to look at the tide pools.  It was fun to watch Danny poke all the crabs and watch them scurry away.  He had a blast.  Enjoy!

Looking for fun shells and rocks

Yes...Emily always sits leaning in her carrier...

Lunch time!

CRABS!

Danny exploring

I love the way the rocks, sand and water all look

Brotherly Love

I found Danny like this the other day.  Emily was hanging out on the couch, and Danny climbed right up and started reading to her!  It was adorable!  Danny is (usually) so sweet with his little sister.  I think he kind of loves her. :-)

Little Emily

I love this little girl...

She does this great scared face - ALL the time!

A random photo we took of Emily at 1 month.  She was up to 7lb at that point.  As this photo points out Emily's favorite places to sleep are on the couch, on our bed, or on me!  I'm hoping this is just because she is sick...we need longer sleeping periods in the crib!  Here's hoping for a miracle!

Canyon Photos

We headed up our local canyon on a Sunday to check out the river scene for photos. The wind was crazy that day, so our pictures didn't turn out to be our favorite, but we still had lots of fun. Danny especially loved it and spent most of the time throwing rocks into the river and saying over and over again, "water!"  

This is where Emily hung out while Kenneth & I took some photos.  She kind of loved it!
