Nikko . . .

We love Nikko!

Here are a bunch of pictures of what he does best!

He cocks his head when asked if he "likes puppies"

Ryan, Nikko's Uncle.

He lounges. . .

And follows us into the kitchen when we are cooking or doing dishes . . .

He gives us these eyes . . .

And these eyes . . .

Then watches some TV . . .

Followed by a nap or 10 . . .

And then he is rudely awaken by annoying parents with a camera . . .

Santa Barbara . . .

This past weekend we headed to Santa Barbara to spend time with Heather's family and have a small memorial for Grandma Wathey. It was a very fun weekend filled with Good Food, Good People, and Good Memories!

We had a stop in Oakland on our way to SB. We had a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge as we were about to land.

We helped Heather's Parents and Aunt move stuff out of Grandma Wathey's house. We even took a trip to the dump to get rid of some old furniture(Heather's Parents old couch and stereo cabinet).

We took flowers to Grandma Wathey's urn at the Santa Barbara Cemetery.

Then we headed to the Natural History Museum.

On Sunday we took a beautiful walk around Lake Los Carneros.

On Friday and Saturday there was some crazy rain storms. On Monday, Heather and I headed down to East Beach in Santa Barbara and found a few beached boats.

On Tuesday we found this gem in Las Vegas as we boarded a connecting flight.

Then we came home and picked up this B E A U TIFUL BOY!

Heahter sat next to this guy on our flight to California.

Coronado Butterfly Preserve

While in Santa Barbara this past week we decided to check out the Butterfly preserve. If you don't know what that is well. . . . . . it's where the Monarch Butterflies spend the winter. There are tons and tons of butterflies. As it warms up they fly around but on cooler days they clump together up in the trees.

The walk in. . .

The darker clumps right under this are the butterflies hanging in the trees.

We had a great time in Santa Barbara!
