Look who came to visit!!! We were so excited to finally reunite with our long lost buddies. We used to get together with these guys all the time when we lived in Omaha. They were always just a few short hours away. We have missed our quality time with them. It is always so much fun playing with this Crew. T.J. got to do a 2 week externship with Highland/Spencer while Ansley and I got to do a 2 week vacation with each other, we definitely got the better half of the deal.
They fit right in with our crazy bunch.
The boys seriously loved Ivy. Ledger and Crew were constantly fighting over her, she was too cute to resist.
We took these guys to one of our favorite dirty boy spots. It is a recycled park in Berkley, it is messy but so, so fun! There are nails, hammers, paint and they let you go wild with it all. There is also a super fun zip line that the boys loved, technically Kelan was the only one who was supposed to go on it but they all wanted a chance to ride.

The zip line was their favorite part.
After we were done at the recycled park we went and played at the park right next door. Then the boys went for an "accidental" swim in the bay. They were just supposed to be getting their feet wet, so much for that. They were all soaked!
Picnic at the Oakland Temple.
This seriously was the best picture we could get. IMPOSSIBLE! Hahaha, they are all thinking "please no more pictures Aunt Nikki." I couldn't resist, they were all looking too cute in their Sunday clothes, it was a good try.
Crab Cove
Sweet Little Ivy & Aunt Annie looking so tute.
This place is so fun! I love it because it is in the bay, which means you don't have to worry about your kid getting pulled under by a huge wave you can just let them go wild.
U.S.S. Hornet
This was our first time going here. It was really cool but not super kid friendly. It was a bunch of volunteer elderly people working and they didn't appreciate the wild bunch we brought with us. Thank goodness we got a bunch of tickets free from our library, this way we didn't feel bad for making it a quickish trip.
It was amazing how big these ships were.
Oh, these two. Great minds think alike.
Closing Ceremonies
Kelan had his closing ceremonies and we definitely couldn't miss it. Getting a trophy may be one of Kelan's favorite parts about playing baseball.
He had a pretty awesome cheering section in the outfield.
When did my Kelan get so big!? He had a fun year playing baseball, we'll see how long he sticks with it. He's like his mom when it comes to baseball, a little bored. He says it's his favorite sport though?
San Francisco
Spencer hates this place!!! T.J. had never been before so Spencer was nice enough to suck it up and take them on a tour of the city.
Pier 39.
Sight seeing.
1st Grade Graduation
Kelan finished up 1st grade. He was so embarrassed to get up and receive a certificate in front of his whole class. Why is this kid so shy in public? He definitely isn't at home. He got a certificate for being the best at science in his class. He is such a nerdo and loves, loves, loves school. He's going to miss school this summer.
He was hauling down the "red carpet". You can even tell that his face is red from being embarrassed. Oh Kelan, you are too cute.
Preschool Graduation
One year of Preschool down, one more to go before Kindergarten. Sweet little Beckham has loved his little school group. They have all become such good little buddies. Lucy, Beckham, Riley(Crew's GF), Ayla(Beckham's GF), Grace & Brant(Also Rileys BF). Riley really could care less about these boys, she's gonna marry her Grandma's dog, bahaha.
While I was handing out the preschool certificates to each kid...
...Crew was helping himself to the cupcakes Ansley & I made. He can only be patient for so long.
These cupcakes turned out so cute thanks to Ansley, she's seriously the best!
Golden Gate Park
I love this place, it was perfect for all of our wild boys. I just love how this park runs right through the city. The views are amazing of the city, bay and ocean. It is just beautiful!
Brudder cousins are the best!
Ivy was just the sweetest the entire trip. She just went with the flow and didn't even complain once. Sweetest baby ever!
Kung Fu Panda house.
The poor animals may have been a little tormented by the boys.
Lands End
Another beautiful spot and another great spot for the boys to go wild.
Lets just say they slept well every night. We wore them out and they wore us out. Too much fun!
