My parent came to visit and we took them to Alcatraz.  I did a whole post about it on our other blog, so I'm just posting this photo here.  It was chilly in the city, like most summer days there.

This picture is for Nathaniel to prove to him that there are opportunities to speak russian out here.  The old men in this store (which happens to be right be our favorite taqueria) gabbered at me in Russian.  You can buy all sorts of good russian stuff here, I'm sure.

At the nursery by our apartment.  Paul found a cute redwood tree that he wants to buy.

On a Sunday walk with our friends Jason and Ginny.  Jason just ran his firsts full Ironman.  That's Ollie in the stroller and this is the lake just up the trail from where we live.  We walk here almost every day it seems like.

Celebrating Pioneer Day at our church.  I made blueberry cupcakes and coconut cupcakes.  They were pretty awesome, if I say so myself.  The blueberry cupcakes and frosting are made from crushed fresh blueberries.  It is the same recipe as my strawberry cupcake recipe.  I still like strawberry best, but the blueberry was a fun change.

This shot of Paul was taken by our friends' little boy Ollie.  I'm shameless when it comes to getting kids to like me by letting them do pretty much whatever they want, even if that means taking photos with my camera while they have sticky fingers.  But when Ollie says "more" or "again" in his tiny voice, I just can't resist.

Me teaching Ollie the art of the self-portrait.

In downtown Campbell for the "Big Bands and BBQ" event.  It was super hot out and kind of disappointing, but we had delicious pulled pork sandwiches from Blue Rock BBQ.

My friend Paige had her baby boy Ben today.  He is darling and this is definitely the youngest infant I have ever held.  I think he was about 6 or 7 hours old in this photo.

At the Oakland temple again.  7 months straight - good for us.
