Cali Vay-Cay

It has been another busy week. John went to Denver for job training and had a great time & learned lots. At the same time, Brooke & I went to California to visit my sister, Suzie, and her family, Uncle Ramon & Cousin Dexter. Brooke & Dexter had never met, so it was great to see them play together. We had a wonderful time in California and loved just hanging with the kiddos.


Suzie, Ramon & Dexter
We took a beautiful walk/ hike just a few blocks from Suzie's house where the view of the city & bay are spectacular.Brooke and Dexter warmed up to each other pretty quickly.
Kissing Cousins Sisters! On Thursday afternoon we went to the Oakland Zoo. It was so much fun and we got to see lots of cool animals. Suzie & Dex at the zoo riding the carousel.

We got to see Katie's cousin & "cous-bin" Shannon & Jeremy! My cousin Ben also stopped by but we didn't get any photos with him.... sorry Ben. It was great to see you guys!Brooke sporting a fireman's hat! It's a nice look for her.

Aunt Libby came home for a quick visit before we went to California and we both decided to cut our hair and donate it to Locks of Love. Here are mine and Libby's before & after photos.
Thank you to Aunt Kenda for beautiful haircuts!
