Visitors and Danny's blessing

We had visitors two weekends in a row. Sugey, Jamirs sister, had asked to come the 21st and since she flew into Portland where Choco and family lives, they came too. And Kenia, wanting to come to the blessing but hearing that the Lopez siblings were coming that weekend, booked her flight to match Sugey's. So we had a full house of 4 extra adults and two extra toddlers. It was a bit chaotic since they were so excited to see each other, but Ben had so much fun with his cousins I had to be happy for him. He was asking for them days after-he craves social interaction and loves to play with his "friends".

And then the next weekend we had Mom, Dad, Cam and Janessa come for Danny's blessing. Unfortunately, as it seems to always happen, it rained most of the weekend. It is usually sunny I promise! We went to a car show at the Eagle Point high school, walked around a rainy Lithia Park and fed ducks, ate hot dogs in the rain at mom and dad's hotel in shady cove and ate delicious meals prepared by Jamir (some carne asada and french toast/egg mcMcMuffin breakfast). At least we got some pictures in the sun of everyone. 

We went to the annual BYU run now the Ryan Folsom run renamed after the man who died in the car accident. I didn't run, but Jamir pushed Ben in the stroller.

Cosmo came and danced. Ryan was a football player at BYU so it was pretty special.

Dinosuar pinata that we didn't finish for Easter. Sugey helped finish it.

Ben kinda lost interest after a few hits (InthI t he was exhausted from the weekend). Oliver finished it off by himself.

Ben follows everything his friends do.

After everyone left. I shelled walnuts on the deck while Danny slept

That is dirt mixed with boogers mixed with cookie I think

My first walk around the neighborhood with both. Carrying Danny and pushing Ben

I think all the kids made Ben sick. He had a fever when Steflik family came and slept through MOD pizza. Poor Danny had gotten sick too.

Manolo got a lot more attention than he was used to.

Ben loves to hold Danny. I needed a picture of the wisteria before the blossoms died.

This is his being told to smile, smile
