California!

We headed down to California to visit my family! I was so excited to go and see them! I absolutely dread the drive but who wouldn't? 12 hours in a car with a baby is no fun. :) AND Howie's parents drove down too! It was awesome to have his parents down there to check out where my dad & Carol live and to finally meet Dale, Jeanie, Gage & Ashton! We all had such a great time... lots of laughs and good food. ;)

Makenna enjoys ribs.... We first tried to cut the meat off but she wasn't having it. She had to eat it off the bone. Such a big girl.

All of us eating (excluding the picture taker.. Jeanie)!

Grandma Howard with Grandpa Howard chowing down....

Makenna got done eating and decided to play with Scoobie.

and give him kisses....

She loves, loves him!

A new day and a sweet picture of my nephew Ashton!

Splashing in the dog's water bucket (it was fresh water) and entertaining her Oldma.

Makenna's new obsession.....

Dale, Jeanie and Gage left to go to their friends wedding so Oldma, Ashton, Makenna and I hung out (Howie and his parents went to check out the area)... Here are a few cute pictures.

Looking cool in Makenna's shades!

Weird picture? I think not! If we could only take Scoobs home... Makenna would be entertained for days!

Cousin picture!!

Playing with Uncle Todd's dog, Bodie

Winding down with her Oldpa. :)

Another new day and a sweet picture of my Gage Man!!!

My Dad & Carol have over 5 hummingbird feeders around their deck and they were eating like crazy! The hard part was trying to get a picture of them... but I think I did good. :)

Aunt Jeanie playing with Makenna....

Makenna & Mommy... my girl is so sweet!

AND a couple of adorable pictures of Makenna to end this post.

Another post coming soon of Makenna, Gage & Ashton playing on the deck with their Oldma... I took a million pictures/video that I need to go through and pick out my favorites.

Love,

The Howard Clan
