Six Flags

What a great day! Everybody had a good time. It was hot but not too hot. Perfect for enjoying the water aspects of the park.



Katie, Mommy, and Shouka!



3 takes on this one. So hard to get everyone to look at the camera (not to mention smile) when it is so bright and sunny and there are so many other interesting things to look at.



JD finally fell asleep on me towards the end of the day. He slept through the entire dolphin show too.

This was Katie's first experience with cotton candy. Her cousin Ashley shared some with her and she instantly became a big fan. She doesn't look that happy in this picture but really she's just trying to get every last bit from the holder.

Great Grandma's house

We love going over to Great Grandma's house. We are so fortunate to live close by. We get over there every other week or so. Katie knows that Auntie Janice or Great Grandma always have the freezer ready with some ice cream for her.





Here Katie is with cousin Jenna.

Little Farmer

Only problem with this is that I found two whole basil plants uprooted on the ground. But he looks so contented with himself.

Father's Day

More pictures from last Sunday

Katie loved baby Sophie. (And Sophie was a good sport.)




Not a great family shot (hard to come by right?) but I just love how JD is leaning in against Katie.






JD and Sophie. See what Sophie's eyes are looking at and the concerned look on her face? Well Mr. innocent just snatched her pacifier out of her mouth without thinkin anything of it.

BBQ

Last Sunday we got to hang with our friends Dina and Jesse and their new little girl Sophie (5 1/2 months old). They live in Southern CA and it was a great excuse to get together with a few friends and enjoy the day.



Denise and her baby bump! A new Lopez coming soon!



Next to tie the knot (no pressure!) Rob and Nancy!



I'm so happy to have my little family! It was so nice to stop and savor the day!

Birthday party!

We went to Rachel's birthday party today. Sadly my batteries wore out after I took just a few pictures but the kids had a great time.





It is 7pm and this girl has finally fallen asleep. I thought for sure she'd nap today after being at the party but no. Finally she crashed watching Bee movie.

Happy helper

This is why I usually fold the laundry downstairs. I had folded most of this and it was stacked neatly in the basket. Then mister curious came along and took a bunch of it out and put it back in. (That was nice at least.) Then he plopped himself right on top. Was I mad? No. How could you be mad at this face?




Content with himself.



JD can sing the "e-i-e-o" part to old McDonald. Soooo cute. His newest words/ phrases are:

I love you. - just melts my heart.
zapato - shoe
whad issit?




After all the JD pictures Katie needed me to take one of her too. She's getting so big. She's also becoming such a good helper. I love it!

Elaina

My kids have had several of my former students as their babysitters but Elaina has babysat the most for us. We appreciate her! We went to her grad party last weekend. A perfect time for pictures!
