First time at the Beach

Yesterday I took Sierra to Sandy Point Beach up at Lucky Peak Lake. This was her first time at the beach and I was excited to see how she would like it. When we first got there she was excited to see all the people and the different atmosphere. We walked down to the beach area and I started to place her on the sand and she totally freaked out. She wasn't thrilled with the way the sand felt beneath her feet. I think she felt unstable and the sand felt different to her. She wouldn't stand up so I placed her down on her butt. She sat there for a long time kind of whining to herself then she decided to give it another try. She still wasn't to sure-footed, but after I took her hand she decided to try and walk. It was a funny site, she scooted her feet very carefully and slowly, like she was walking on sharp rocks. Then she abruptly sat down and decided that walking was out of the question! After that I had to carry her if I wanted to move, but she didn't even like it when I walked on the sand. She started to have more fun after we ate our lunch and sun-bathed together. We sat by the water and she had a blast picking up the sand and chucking it into the lake (and at me sometimes). All in all, it was a great time and Sierra looked adorable in her red bikini!











Trip to San Fransisco w/ daddy
































In march Justin took Sierra to his home town of San Fransisco, CA to visit his family. They got to see his two sisters, his brother, his dad and mom, and Sierra's 3 cousins...Allysa (9 yrs old), Blaine (21 months), and Jaylene (23 months). Sierra had a great time and I'm totally jealous that I wasn't there to see all the kids together. But, here are a few pictures of the trip...Justin took over 200 pictures so I had to sift through them and pick my favorites.
