Group photos

We're going to go visit my dad's side of our loving family in Oklahoma next month. So I'm going to post group photos here. This one is my mom's side of the family. My mom blinking as usual.

The rest will be of my dad's side since we don't see them near as often as we'd like so I'm going to take lots of picures.

My big girl.

She's getting to be so dependent now. She tries to hold her bottle all by herself even though she doesn't quite have the hang of it. She even pushes our hands away while we hold it. She loves her little bumbo seat, that way she can sit up and look around all she wants. Her hair continues to get longer and longer. And every thing goes in the mouth.

1st Vacation

We drove to Oceanside, California to visit my sis/best friend for the very first time with Samantha. The drive there was a little long with frequent stops, but we had a great time and loved the little getaway.

We went to the Pier for lunch at Ruby's


And of course we had to hit the beach.

Playing in the water, well at least I am.


This is her seashell, we picked it out together.


This is Daddy making Samantha fly. :)


We stayed for a few days and then were on our way home. The ride home went a lot smoother even though we took a ridiculous detour. Thanks to the GPS. This was her most of the way.

And this was me goofing off with Brandon's beanie. :)
