all in a month

well it's been a month since i last posted... and lots has happened!
lets start with grams. she turned 80! so old ha ha but we had a lovely family dinner in her honor at the lion house. yummy rolls.

hayden found my mustache mints. such a cutie with a stache.

 fuzzy picture, but i love it. such a small couch for so many people.

 i made mom try papusas! yum! and she actually liked them. yea for el salvadorian food

 we all happen to be wearing white dresses to church, so we had to take a picture!

 and then mush our faces together. ha ha

 and then we drove all the way to beaver just to see the eclipse. and it was neat!

emma graduated from 9th grade... actually she 'advanced' ha ha

 and henry graduated from preschool!

last weekend i flew up to portland to hang out with my dad... it was fun! we started out in portland and drove all the way down the coast to san francisco.

we went to this place called voodoo donuts. this is what their most famous donut looks like. ha ha it had raspberry jelly inside too.

 we even went to the beach, even though it was freezing!

 tree hugging in the redwoods.

 the trees were so HUGE that we went inside one. seriously... these trees are super, mega giant!

 we drove through a town in california called eureka! they had some of the cutest houses ever!

 then back in the redwoods again, we actually drove through this tree! GIANT!

 we stopped in willets on the way to san francisco and saw lucy! here she is driving her golf cart named flo. cause it has purple flames ha ha ha

 we rented bikes once we were in san francisco and literally rode them all day, all over the place. here we are riding across the golden gate bridge. cool!

 we found a cool art museum in golden gate park. this was one of the coolest pieces in there. it's a church made completely out of gun parts! so neat.

 and this was my favorite. i just love chairs.

 here are the seven sister houses. and this is the park where they filmed the first part of full house! love that show, and these houses. so cute.

 and this was dad's favorite part. lombard street. the curviest street ever! we actually walked our bikes up the other side (ridiculously steep) and then rode them down! so cool! i'm pretty sure i got in about 5 or 6 videos and pictures of random people on the side of the street cause we were the only ones riding down on bikes! ha ha

we also rode on a trolley.

 it just so happened that we were in san francisco for the golden gate bridge's 75th birthday. ha ha good timing. so we got to see a pretty great firework show off the bridge. lucky us.

 then the last day we just wandered all over town again and we happened to walk past this cool building. it's the art palace.

 we walked down pier 39 too. it was pretty windy and kinda cold, but super fun!

 and this guy is my favorite. i have this obsession with taking pictures of doors everywhere i go. which is a lot of places. so i have a pretty good collection going. well we were walking back to the hotel, getting ready to fly out and we passed this guy on the street, and guess what he sells?? pictures of doors!! he's from cuba so he has pictures from all over cuba of these cool doors and old cars. so i got one and then had to get a picture taken with him too. he was so cute, and had to make sure that his lovely little sign was in the picture too. he even took his hat off for the picture.
