Sunset Beach

Yesterday Alexa went to beach for the first time! Sunset Beach. She loved it. She even managed to sneak some shells in her mouth before I can get to her. Yuck! She was all smiles right when we step foot on the sand. She didn't know whether to touch the sand or not, but she did admire her sister rolled up in it! I love the pics of Sam and her at the beach. Sam is such a Roxy model. Her brown skin and long hair looks perfect for "surfer"-like pics! My two beautiful girls. I'm so blessed.

I also went to San Diego with 7 of my girlfriends, in celebration of my all time great friend Eleanor. They are such a good group of girlfriends to go out with. The tab is never short. We watch each others' backs. We all have fun and can laugh at ourselves. I mean, just look at us: goofballs, right?
We just have good old fashion cackling sessions when we're all together. We become 12 again. It's really quite funny! We've been friends for such a long time and have lots of great memories together through the years. Eleanor was my maid of honor and 2 others' maid of honor as well. That just shows that she such a great friend. I love her like a sister.
She's getting married in Cancun on Alexa's 1st birthday the 3rd of August. My whole family including my brother and parents are going as well. We can't wait! Our first real family trip...and it's out of the country! (I know I'm excited now, but the 5 hour plane ride with Alexa fussing on my lap won't be so exciting.)
