Welcome home Kevin!  Wahoo!  We got to go up to Sacramento and visit Brian's parents, Krissy, Paul, Brayden, and Kevin (who got home from the Des Moines, Iowa Mission on July 4th).

Thats what happens when you do bike tricks...oh wait, that was just a joke.  Those teeth are so not real.  
Back on drums ASAP.  Kevin is an amazing drummer.  Seriously.  Check out Brian singin away, and Paco on guitar. ???  
Look at the new Uncle with his incredibly cute nephew.  He's a natural.  We got to stay with Krissy and Paul for a couple days.  It was fun.  We ate good, played games, and I even bought a book called, "What your poo is telling you".  It is great.  :)  


As you all ready saw above.  We joined the Wii force.  Brian and I finally got a Wii.  It is so fun.  Thank you Scottie and Cassie for introducing us to the Wii.  Mom Sonico and Paco bought Rockband for it, so that will stay at their place in Sac.  Thanks Nik and Jessica for contributing to the thoughts of getting Rockband.  It is like the funnest game ever.  We traded off being each member of the band.  I even made a complete fool of myself singing.  Its ok to do in front of family though, isn't it?  

We, Mom, Paco, Brian, Kevin, and myself, went on a Rock tour and we unlocked at least 40 songs.  It was really fun and very addicting.  
While Brian and I were up in Sacramento we got to go river rafting too down the American River.  It was sooooo fun!  I don't have any pictures though.  :(  We went down rapids doing 360's, we freestyled up a huge rock and then went down the rapid backwards (on purpose), we jumped into rapids and rode them without the raft (again, on purpose), we jumped off a huge rock, we ate yummy food, we spun the raft on a dime and I fell out pulling Bri with me.  It was a blast.  I really want to do it again.  We also played games, in particular, our own made up version of Password.  It was a fierce competition.  All in all, our trip was a lot of fun.  

Right before Sacramento my brother Steve came down to California for a fun visit.  We went to the beach, Brian and Steve went skateboarding, we went shopping, and we went to the San Diego Zoo.  We had a lot of fun together!  

Me with a Koala, cause that is the animal that I am.  What animal are you?

Killer bird!   This bird tried to attack us at least 3 times and bit a lady in front of us.  It was such a thrill walking passed it.  Ahhhhh!  I made us keep walking passed it.  Hehe.  

One of my favorite moments...a giraffe taking a dump.  It was funny.  I actually video recorded it, but I will spare you and just give you a pic.  Did you know they dumped pellets?

One of my favorite new animals...the Hippo.  
Yet another reason why I don't eat seafood.  
Look at how stumpy her legs are.  It cracks me up.  I love hippos.  
Then there were these crazy monkeys.  

And this flamingo was trying to decapitate us.  It was insane!

I got some good gorilla stance practice.  

Right before Steve came Brookie came to visit.  Some more fun with my best friend.  I got to see her new niece.  Soooo cute!  We went to Applebee's again.  :)  Yummy!  Then of course we went to Target.  And we ended our day with a manicure and pedicure.  It was very fun.
