A Busy Weekend!

This past weekend was really busy for our family. There was a memorial for my Uncle Jerry at UCLA on Sunday, and so all of my siblings and their kids were able to make it except for Sonja- we missed you Sonja! My uncle was a great man, and many people were there to pay tribute to him and the wonderful life that he lived. He was the most kind-hearted man I have ever known, and we will all miss him.

Since almost all of us were together, we took the opportunity to celebrate my Dad's 60th birthday- 2 weeks early, it was a surprise. We ordered t-shirts for everyone and put random quotes on them. Mine said, "My dad once broke the land speed record on a bicycle that was missing it's chain and the back tire." One of my favorites was Alex's shirt, it said: "My grandpa is the reason Waldo is hiding." Anyway, we had a ton of fun celebrating. We went to breakfast together in Santa Monica, then played at the beach and later walked around the pier. All in all it was a fun day.

Brayden looking adorable as ever! He is such a good baby!

My arms are sore today from carrying this dead weight around all afternoon, but I wouldn't have traded it for anything! But really guys, next time we've got to remember the strollers!

The kids had a blast looking at all the birds, the ocean, and...everything else.

Megan and her kids- they are adorable aren't they?

Here we are laughing at Justin and Megan's gift to dad, a survival guide for the elderly.

Tyler is such a little ham!
