Cousin James drops in on his way to Australia!
Coco's cousin James came through the Bay Area with Auntie Ann on there way to Australia for three weeks. Unfortunately cousin Ava was really sick that day and did not get to hang out with them. We visited at Uncle Packy's house in Willow Glen. Coco spent the day following James around and copying everything he did! The played with sidewalk chalk and water and took a bath together then ran around wild and naked until we had to go back home. Coco is really looking forward to seeing James again in a few weeks.
Cooling off in the cooler
It was hot that day, so we got the kids into their swimsuits and dragged out anything we could put water in to cool them off. Whose idea was it to put water in the cooler anyways...?
Camping in Tahoe!
We took our annual camping trip to D.L. Bliss in Tahoe with John's co-workers. It's not really camping, so much, as drinking outside! From Bloody Mary's to Margarita's it's a weekend of debauchery. Coco (and Oliver) loved the princess tent someone brought, and she only got a little dirty playing in the dirt! We were so relaxed we had her drive us home.
Painting Rocks
This is kind of funny because when we first started painting the rocks, Coco seemed very concerned about making a mess, but the end of it all she wanted to do was paint herself. The white paint looks just like her sunblock so she started rubbing it all over her arms!
My Kid Could Paint That
..well, actually, she did! We started off painting rocks, then switched to paper. After working with brushes Coco started painting her hands then the paper, then just painted herself. She asks to paint almost everyday now. It's messy but fun to watch her get so into it.
Alameda Beach
After Dim Sum we went to Alameda beach. It was windy and not very warm and Coco would not even stick one little chubby toe into the water. Jazmine did, and played with jelly fish, while John relaxed.
Dim Sum in Alameda
Our favorite Dim Sum is at South Ocean in Alameda. Be prepared to wait for a table on Sundays....

Bill's Memorial Service
We attended Betty's husband Bill's Memorial service on June 13th. It was a really nice service with lots of pictures and stories to remember Bill by.
M2 Wedding!
Coco's cousin Melissa got married on May 15 to Missy, and Grandma and Grandpa got to babysit all night. Willie came up for the wedding too. Both Jazmine and Willie were in the wedding. It was a great wedding and Grandma and Grandpa said they had a great time too! Melissa taught Coco the word 'Blackberry' and Coco promptly called a friend to tell them about the wedding!

Visiting Grandma and Grandpa on the way home from Point Reyes
We stopped at Grandma and Grandpa's on the way home from Point Reyes. Grandma Corinne played the couch game with Coco (letting her roll down the cushions from the top of the couch.) This is a game that Coco LOVES - and when she saw the photo of her and grandma she started giggling with the memory of it. ...pretty cute! Then Grandpa let her show off her piano skills - which are none, so far. (Yes, John, she will have piano lessons someday.)
