Kiersten's low-tech Sunday

Kiersten had a major melt-down today, and the diagnosis was... too much Hannah Montana. So we unplugged her and let her scream. Then I taught her to play pyramid solitaire and showed her how to build a house of cards. She thought that was pretty cool. Then she fell asleep. She has been sick with a cold and goopy eyes. Hope she's better tomorrow!

Santa Barbara County Courthouse

Jared came back to Solvang with us, to stay until school starts in August. We went to Santa Barbara to see Winnie the Pooh (the movie) and then stopped in at Mark's office to see him. He talked us into going to the Santa Barbara courthouse, which is a beautiful building with a great bell tower and a courtroom with murals all over the walls. Then we did some shopping and met Mark for dinner before we came home.

Firepit and marshmallows!

Jared's friends came over and we did a firepit! It was totally raining the whole time. But it was so warm! We got out an umbrella to cover Kiersten and the food, and had a great time. It was also Mark's and my 22nd anniversary!!

We loved the fireworks this year! Utah in-lawed aerial ones, and it was way fun!

Thanks, Fawn, for introducing the forward flip! When Fawn came to visit, she reintroduced us to forward flips into the pool, as well as forward and backward dives! I was so impressed she did all those!
