We had a fantastic Fourth of July! Here is Brandon on a boat ride. Newport Beach was PACKED that weekend! Apparently everyone else knows how fun it is to spend the 4
th on the water!

Here is Brandon on his decorated bike. Every year the residents of Balboa
Peninsula have a little parade and anyone can join in the fun. That thing on his nose is a red jewel. He wanted to wear it in the parade. Should I be scared?

After the parade everyone had a BBQ in the park. We spent the day just hanging out on the beach with friends and family. (Julie and John were here for the weekend so that made it EXTRA fun!) That night we took a boat ride and saw fireworks over the water. Our little boat almost ran out of power, so it made for an interesting and very exciting night!

Playing his
DSI. His favorite toy in the world.

Brandon and I spent a week in Arizona so that he could get in some good quality time with his dad. We were able to see our friends Amanda and Oliver a few times while there. Brandon and Oliver have such a great time together.


We saw some ducks at the park and decided that they needed some
goldfish crackers. They loved 'em!

Amanda was brave! Those ducks were eating right out of her hand!

We saw a "Desert Animals" show at the library. It was GREAT! Brandon liked the big turtle but not the
tarantula or scorpions.

While we stayed at John and Julie's for the week, we decided to use their amazing blender. I took Brandon to the store and told him he could pick out a few candies and then we would make shakes with them. He chose
Swedish Fish, Starburst, M&M's, Kit Kat and
Gummie Bears. I couldn't believe that Julie's blender actually could blend up all those candies. That is one fantastic blender! Brandon had a great time tasting all the different shakes. His favorite was the
Swedish Fish shake. ;)
