Eternal Companions

7 years ago today, we were married. These past 7 years have gone by so fast. We have some great memories! Jeremy is such a great husband. One of the best things about our marriage is we make each other laugh. We've made it through the "7 year itch" and have practically made it through medical school. Now we know we can make it no matter what comes our way! I love you babe! Happy Anniversary!

The Zoo

My mom and I took Kamryn to the zoo last weekend. It was so stinkin' hot! It was fun though. We were able to see the lion laying around, he rolled over onto his back. And we also saw them feeding the hippos. They eat so much! And their mouths are huge!

The California Science Center

As another "field trip" we went to the California Science Center. It was pretty fun for the kids. The have a room where the kids can look at all kinds of bugs and stuff. The had an iguana and a tarantula and frogs. . . The have a little area for a puppet show and a play area. I think our girls had fun together.

Jeff

Jeremy's youngest brother, Jeff is going on a mission in October. We just found out he will be serving in the Honduras! So exciting! So we had Jeremy's family over a few weekends ago. I'm trying to get as many pictures of the brothers together before he leaves. So on Saturday they went to play basketball. My intent was to get a before and after picture to show how sweaty they get, but when they got back Jared jumped in the shower before I could take the picture. Jeremy's parents and Jeff stayed to watch the kids while Jared, Melissa, Jeremy and I went to the temple. Once the kids were asleep, Jeremy's parents left and Jeff stayed with our kids. Thanks for babysitting!

BJ's Girls Night

Last year, our good friend Tisha moved! For her birthday before she left a group of us went out to BJ's. So here we are a year later, and she came back for a visit. So to keep tradition, we of course had to go to BJ's again. The food is great especially dessert! The black and white pizookie is so good! We were glad to see her again!

Summer Lovin'

We have been having a great summer! Through a few organized activities we have been to the Observatory and a children's art museum. Of course you have to go to the beaches here in California. Gotta love that! We also went to a Dodger game. I wasn't really sure if I'd like it, but it was fun. Pretty relaxing, and a good time. The view is great once you are walking out to the parking lot seeing downtown all lit up. Apparently while we were all having a good time at the game, poor Grandma had a run for her money with 4 kids. She had a few poopy diapers and lots of crying from the kids. Then when we got home Kamryn was still awake. I guess she was a little excited to have her cousins sleeping in the same room as her. So far the summer has been great. Maybe we'll get in a few more Dodger games and beach trips!

Right before we left all four of the kids decided to dress up in Kamryn's princess dresses. Aren't they cute?
Woo hoo! Go Dodgers!

4th of July weekend

We had a great 4th of July weekend. We always love going home to visit family. We went swimming and had a good time. My mom barbecued for us and came with us to watch the fireworks. Before we made it over to see the fireworks we used the hot charcoal to roast marshmallows and make s'mores. They were so yummy, it made me want to go camping. I think Kamryn is old enough now to go. Kamryn sat with her uncle Jeff during the whole firework show. She did the same thing last year! I always love seeing all of the hot air balloons early in the morning out by my parents house. Kamryn helped me wash my car for the first time too, I'm waiting on my mom to email me those pictures though. We sure are blessed to live in this country and I am so thankful for all of the freedoms that we have. We hope everyone else had a fun weekend!

She loves CiCi!
