Lots and Lots of Family

This last month has been lots of fun. We have been spoiled by visits with family. First My mom and dad came into town on their way to Hawaii. We enjoyed spending time with them, and Sienna was excited Mimi came back to her room.

We hiked to Vernal pools, a seasonal pond.


There were beautiful wild flowers and cacti along the way.


Someone was happy to be with her Mimi and Papa.



Then a week later my sister Joyce, her husband Mike and their boys came for a visit. We enjoyed swimming in the pool, playing Wii, going to the beach and the Wild Animal Park.


Sienna loves her cousins Caleb and Dallin and "Baby Blake."


We were able to have dinner at the fire station with Steve. We rode in the Firetruck,



Had a photo shoot,




and slid down the fire slide.





For Easter we were able to go up to Grandma Judy and Grandpa Donnie's house and enjoy Easter dinner with Aunts, Uncles and Cousins.


Then a couple weeks later. . .

Surprise!

My sister Gretchen surprised me with a visit!


Sienna and Kapri were friends right away. Doesn't my girl look so grown up holding her cousin's hand and showing her around.


We also went to the Wild Animal Park.


We saw lots of animals.


and some baby birds too.






To avoid traffic we stopped at a nearby mall to have dinner and take a train ride.


We were even lucky enough to enjoy a dinner with Heath in Downtown San Diego.

We are exhausted, but we loved playing with family and would do it again anytime!
