Time off in Palm Springs over the 4th of July weekend

We spent the 4th of July weekend out in Palm Springs. Look farther down in the blog to see other pictures. Here are some more.

Brianna lounging in her "bathtub" and loving it!

First time in the pool with Mommy!
Enjoying some relaxing playtime with Daddy!
We had a great time in PS in spite of the heat, usually 110 degrees (yikes!). Luckily our hotel had a great pool and we spent lots of time there. At night we enjoyed walks downtown (just a few blocks away) and on the 4th of July we watched pretty impressive fireworks from our hotel. We had a blast!

Soooooo ticklish

My Daddy loves to tickle me and I love to be tickled...

Here is a video of my Daddy making me laugh.

I'm almost 5 months old...

On the 4th of July I will be 5 months old. I'm just getting cuter by the day...

I'm starting to teeth, so I like to chew on anything... especially soft toys.

Gramee & G'pa gave me a jumper last month and I have been jumping so much. It's my funnest pass time. In a few days my Daddy is going to put some video of me jumping on the blog so you can see how much fun I'm having.

My legs have gotten so strong from jumping that I'm getting a lot better at standing up. I'm leaning agaist the couch in this picture, but I'm getting my balance...

I'm just TOO CUTE!!!!

3 months, 17 days

When Bibi's away...

Jeremy goes out to play...

When Bibi went to Argentina, Jeremy had a chance meeting with Clayton Green, a reptile collector in the Seattle area. This is his albino python. She weighs in at 175 lbs and in 13 ft. long.

Brianna's Dedication

We had the pleasure of arranging a dedication for Brianna the first Sabbath in Argentina. Pastor Gerardo Ganeau, who was also Jeremy's Men's Dean when he started dating Bibi back in 1995, gave the blessing. It was just a very special day.



Everyone was looking their best...

There was a special catered lunch after church for 30 of our closest freinds and family.

More pictures from Argentina

When Bibi and Brianna got to La Villa, Jenni had decorated their spare room for Brianna. So special...



Brianna got some special time with Grandma Ivon.



Bibi and Brianna had the privilage of being in Arg. for Ivon's birthday on May 25. The cake was awesome and they had a great day at Iguazu Falls.



Here's a good-looking Mommy, 3 1/2 months after giving birth... Oh, Iguazu Falls are also really nice.



Uncle Rony carried little Bri all through the jungle around the falls.



What a beautiful view of Iguazu Falls.



One of Bibi's childhood friends, Cintia, visited from Paraguay to meet Brianna and for Bibi to meet her little daughter, Camila.



This is Lautaro, a little boy that attends Alta Gracia SDA School, the school that Daniel works at. It costs just $150 per year to send him to school, so we are sponsoring him to study. If anyone is interested in joining us to help worthy students get a good Christian education, please contact us.



Here is Grandpa Daniel showing Brianna what it will be like to fly with G'pa Ken in his plane.



And Mommy took Bri on her first carrousel ride in Buenos Aires.



Brianna got to fly home in style with her own airplane crib on American Airlines from Bs. As. to Dallas, TX. It was time to get some rest after a great 3 weeks meeting family and friends.

Perky Bri at 4 1/2 months of age! So cute!

 

Jeremy's first Father's Day

On Jeremy's first Father's Day Brianna put on a show standing up by holding Daddy's hand. We've been practicing standing up and she gets so proud of herself when we stands up.

We spent the afternoon at the Yucaipa Regional Park relaxing and playing in the water.

You can't get any better than Daddy's two angels together on Father's Day...

A spectacular Thai dinner just made the day all that much more special. And Brianna sat up in a high chair for the first time.

There couldn't be a better way to celebrate a first Daddy's Day.
