Happy Birthday Gio and Zeke!

 

 

The boys got salamanders for their birthdays. Danny found them while out fishing in Nevada City. As of this morning two have names. The biggest one is Seadrop and the dark one is Coral Reef. Here is Zeke holding one.

Remembering Mikey One Year Ago

Happy Birthday, Mikey! It was fun being with you last year for your birthday. I hope being nine is great. You are a wonderful person, by the way. I hope I will see you this year for sure. Love, Auntie Karen

Familia

Enzo and I went on the quickest Brazil trip of our lives just for my sister's wedding.

It was totally worth it. My sister happened to marry one of the coolest guys I have ever met. I am so happy for her and Bruno, her son. It was great to spend time with my family even though it was too short. Since they live so far away I don't know if you'll ever meet them so here is my family via web.

(me, my Papai, and my Mamae)

Baby Isaac

zaby baby

I chose to put up this picture in honor of Isaiah (a week after his birthday) because we are all laughing, and Isaiah has taken on the role of being the hilarious comic relief to our family, and our "go to" person for the ward talent shows. He even made us all laugh when he was little, with his baby rolls and his big smile, as he tried to run away down the beach. He has such a tender heart. Today is his first day passing the sacrament. We're so proud of Isaiah and love him so so much. 

Happy May Day 2009
