Swimming & Yosemite Fun

We all hit the pool before our short trip for a fun Yosemite weekend along with the Pierson gang, Gortons & Trujillos

Meeting Shylah Laine Pierson!

On Monday, July 19th (close to midnight) we were finally able to meet our sweet niece Shylah Laine here in Visalia! It was awesome to play with her for a few minutes as she got settled in shortly after arriving home from the airport. She's a beautiful blessing!

Jeremy's FIRST ever sermon at our church - lunch celebration

Our budding little librarian is crazy about reading, which makes Mami very proud!

On July 17th, Jer preached his first sermon at Visalia SDA on Community Service. Afterwards, family & friends gathered to enjoy good Mediterranean food and even better company. We all had a great time!

Thank you A&A, Millers, Andersons, Elicks & Buits!

July Highlights Recap ... we've got a really long ways to go!

One of the fun things we did at the beginning of July. The girls sat side to side for some fun hairstyling. Lauchi did great, never a peep. Brianna, like a royal princess, chatted up her stylist and found plenty of topics to discuss.

Mateo's birthday and the Soccer World Cup

Mateo turned 4 at Chuck E. Cheese on June 27th! Brianna, Kiara and the rest of the gang loved to celebrate with him!

Kiara, in soccer World Cup mood (Argentina smashed Mexico 3-1 that day!) Unfortunately it was to be the last victory. The following Sunday, we suffered a massacre in an unfortunate game against Germany: 4-0

Kiara is a budding reader. Mommy and Lauchi read up t 10 books a day!

Our girls in June

More beautiful than ever and growing like little weeds!

Our month of June was jam packed with swimming, play dates, Vacation Bible School (thank you Mateo & Marina for coming with us too!), a great trip to the mountains, and great developments at our newly opened Hapy Surgery Center. We also took care of Ampee & Amee's house while they were gone on a trip to Kenya, Africa. We were excited to hear all their safari stories when they got back!
