Holmes Celebration

We loaded up the car and headed North to for a triple play w/ the Holmes and Lyons crew. The weekend kicked off in San Jose w/ Kevin's MBA graduation from Santa Clara!

But 1st, we indulged in a day by the hotel pool

Hard to believe that little Hazel bug is old enough to be pulling Levi around in the pool!

Mumsey & Levi, who is fearless in the water so we had to resort to a life vest

Levi with his big sister cousins Hazel & Sadie who he adores (the feeling is quite mutual)

We live 8 minutes from these lovely ladies & can't get enough of them

It wouldn't be a party w/ out our GGMA...92!

Hanging w/ the graduate at Santa Clara U.

Who knew tying a gown could be so complicated!

Cousin Jamie...who's getting married in Aug to the lovely Laura (exciting)

Cousins just make life so much more fun

The ONLY time Levi's ever fallen a sleep on me since surpassed 8 weeks in age (post World Cup and swimming)

World cup party in our hotel room w/ homemade USA signs courteousy of Hazel

Next up: Kevin and Jessica's engagement party....with ping pong (Hazel and Kemia)

The opponents...Colin & Levi

Logged in a few hrs at the park. Thank goodness for my little helper Sadie who doesn't let Levi out of her sight

Jessica's parents hosted the lovely affair complete w/ Mexican food and champagne (my kind of party)

Lastly, we drove to Merced and celebrated Jamie and Laura's engagement w/ Laura's shower

The girls

Capped off the weekend w/ more pool time at Auntie Nancy's 'Camp Merced'


It was the perfect way to end a truly family, fun filled weekend with some much needed R&R, homemade salsa, 90 degree weather and a pool.

A Friday night w/ the kiddos

One of the many beauties of living 8 min from our cousins is that we can get to take advantage of free babysitting! We had Hazel and Sadie over last Friday night and we did it all... Made dinner, colored, listened to the Annie soundtrack, bathed you name it we did it!

We even had an Uno tournament...Hazel remains the Queen of the World (she's seriously really tough to beat...it's a bit frightening how many times John and I both lost to her)

Story time
Special treat included giving Hanky a bath!

Of course brushing him. Hank fell a sleep immediately. We ended the night w/ popcorn and watching the Olympic ice skating. I'm not sure who had more fun...the kiddos or the adults!
