We took a quick weekend trip to So Cal and went to the Nixon Library. Katie visited her first Presidential Library. I voted that we stop at the Reagan Library again, but we'd never been to the Nixon Library before even though we used to live within 30 min. of it.
The tour included the Library, Nixon's birthplace, a tour of Marine One, and a visit to President and Mrs. Nixon's Burial place.
The next weekend brought 4th of July. I love celebrating the 4th! There's nothing better than BBQ and Fireworks to celebrate our Independence. We are so blessed to live in this country.
We started the morning with swimming. Katie shows off her new talent and love of drinking out of Mom's water bottles. She continues to show no interest in solid foods of any kind, but loves ice water. She can drink it out of a straw and her sippy cup as well.
It was great to have Uncle Casey here visiting. He got to spend the 4th of July with us and spend some time loving on Katherine. Remind me not to give the Hobbs boys fireworks and a lighter next year.
Our first 4th as a family!
Hanging out in my shades watching Daddy and my Uncles play wiffleball.
Being loved by my Aunts!
Hanging out in the hotel room in San Fransisco while Daddy worked. I loved playing on the really big bed with my new turtle from Uncle Casey!
After San Fransisco I traveled to Laughlin for the Muzquiz family reunion. We spent a couple of days feeling like we were staying on the surface of the sun. We did however get to eat All you Can Eat King Crab and visit with lots of family. Here I am with my Grandma and Great Great Aunt Bernice. I even had a matching onesie with the family tree on it.
I had a confetti egg broken on my head. It's a fiesta tradition in Texas and the Texas family thought I needed to be included.
We had a banquet on Saturday night. Here are the Muzquiz family babies. Aunt Sandy with the latest addition, River and my Cousin's wife Amanda with little Samantha. It was so much fun to watch Katie and Samantha interact all weekend.
After Laughlin we stopped in So Cal for a few days. It was great to see my cousin's David and Meleah while they were visiting. Here's a picture of our silly little Katherine with the Rubino Catherines.
Katie had her first trip to the beach. It was super hot and super busy.
All smiles and super playful.
She liked feeling the sand with her feet.
