Family :-)

Chad's sister Jill and her family recently came to California to visit for a couple weeks. When this happens we usually spend as much time with them as we can because we don't see them too often due to the 700+ miles between us...

Dixie, Emily and Afton playing. The cousins liked each other as much as cousins that small do. They had fun staring at each other and stealing each others toys. Ok, Afton took Dixie's dog and chewed on it... That's my daughter!

They were pretty unsure of each other at first but eventually warmed up by the end of the visit.

We also took a little day trip to San Fran which was fun considering Chad and I hadn't been there in years. We mostly spent the day on the pier.
We ate bread bowls. Always yummy.

Afton was a trooper in her stroller all day. She always is so good on trips. As long as she has her duck and a few good chewing toys, she's

We also watched the Sea Lions for a while. I swear, they are the laziest animals on the planet and somehow they still manage to be entertaining. Between the constant fighting for the best sunny spot and watching the huge ones lift their hundreds of pounds of fat onto the docks, it really turns into an entertaining show.

We also stopped and got an ice cream cone on the way home. McDonald's has pretty good soft serve for a dollar (really the only thing we ever eat there).
Plus I got to hug and kiss my baby girl which always makes my day better!

The main reason for Jill and Phil's visit was to see Katie graduate. We went to her graduation and ate at Sushi Garden after- of course, it's the best. Even if you don't like Sushi it's still has great alternatives. It even followed my diet pretty well! Super bonus.
Afton was passed from hand to hand during the ceremony. The one picture I managed to take at the graduation is Afton pulling someones hair. Typical.

We had a fun visit as usual. It's even more fun now that the cousins can get to know each other.

And here is a picture of my silly girl. She really is her father's child...

That's all I have to say.
