As you can tell, we had a great time back in Oklahoma and it is always hard to come back home, but we are glad to be back in our own beds and back with Michael! :)

Oklahoma-Final Post! 5th of July
On Sunday night, our church had a cookout and huge fireworks display. The people who donate the fireworks do an AMAZING job! It is a really professional display, music and all, so we wanted Hannah to go watch since she enjoyed the fireworks from the night before. I only took a few since it was dark and she was too busy watching to smile. This first one is her saying cheese, but turning her eyes before it snapped so she didn't miss anything! :)

Oklahoma Part 5- 4th of July
I never even got my camera out on the 4th. Luckily, I do have a few pics that Tammie emailed me so I have some photographic memories to share! :) My parents always have a BBQ in the backyard with volleyball and then later homemade ice cream and fireworks. It is one of my favorite holidays because of the tradition, but also because I love everything patriotic and red,white and blue! So, here are the pictures, the first two are just some of the people that were there hanging out getting ready to eat burgers.
This is Leanna (one of my "other moms") and her granddaughter Kaylee! Kaylee was so excited because their hair was the same! I think this is my favorite picture that Tammie took! 
This is my grandparents, Joe and Betty. Hannah is now old enough to say people's names and remember faces and she got stuck on saying "Joe" over and over. In fact, since we have been home, any man with gray hair and glasses she looks at me and asks "Joe?" And usually after saying Joe a couple of times, she says "and Betty!" 
Hannah and I were glad that we got to see Jimmy and Wendy too! Wendy is another one of the "other moms" group! They now live in Tulsa, but drove in for the festivities, as did two of their daughters! :)
Here is a pic from my phone with Hannah and her Joe! 
While everyone was playing volleyball, I set up the pool for Hannah and Kaylee (to keep them out of the way). They had a blast playing with the sprayer on the zebra head! 
Sorry that I don't have more pics to share, but THANK YOU Tammie for sharing the ones you took!

Oklahoma Part 4- Swimming!
GG bought Hannah a pool to play in at their house. The first night while we were blowing up the pool Hannah played in the sprinkler and got her dress wet, so we just let her keep playing in it! Her favorite part of the pool was filling it up with the hose! I caught some video on my cell phone, so it isn't great quality. She would splash her head and yell "WHOO," it was hilarious!
She also loved going down the slide, but it was wobbly, so she needed help.
She and PaPa sat on the back of his truck and snuggled for a little bit! She is such a PaPa's girl! :)
Then of course, she had to go and give Lexi some attention!
Here she was when we took her dress off, her diaper was SO full you could ring it out! It was just hanging off of her!
We were about to put her in the bathtub and so we just took her diaper off and GG took her naked to go and look at the donkeys and horses in the field behind my parents house! She had a blast! It was a very fun day! :)

On Tuesday, Tammie called and invited Hannah and I to come and get pedicures with her. She grabbed us Sonic drinks and we went! Hannah liked her drink and Tammie like how well it bribed Hannah to sit with her! :)
We got Hannah's toes painted red to match ours! I wish I had pics of our toes because Tammie and I each got some fun decorative stuff done to celebrate the fourth! 
She was so funny watching her toes while she walked around and she showed everyone her red toes for the next two days!

Oklahoma Trip-Part 2
On Saturday, Hannah and I went to Grandma and Grandpa's house and Grandma chased down the ice cream truck! Since we don't have a local ice cream truck in CA (that I am aware of anyways), it was a new experience for Hannah! Here she and Grandma are deciding what they want:
She ended up with an orange push-up! We borrowed one of Jacob's t-shirts in case it got too messy! She loved it and ate the whole thing! :)
On Monday, we went back over and played with Grandpa and Cousin Jacob. He has a blow-up ball pit with a slide that Hannah had a fun time playing with! Grandpa stuck his head through the tunnel to play with them!
They also have a magnetic farm animal learning toy on the fridge that the kids enjoyed playing with. They would take turns pushing the button to make the music start and then they would both just start dancing! They were pretty funny to watch!

Oklahoma Trip- Part 1
Hannah and I flew to Oklahoma on Friday the 26th and are having a great time! She is getting to be so much more fun to do things with and she can tell you what she wants to do (which most of the time is a good thing)! We stopped along the way at Carla and Heath's house to play with cousin Garrett. To see pics from our visit with them, you will have to go to their blog because I was too busy holding Garrett to take any pics!
Her grandparents have just played and played with her! Here she is playing on the exercise ball with GG!
This was Sunday morning before church. You can see she is already working on taking the bow off her head! I really wish she would leave them in because it looks so cute! 
And as every morning at GG and PaPa's, she had to go and look at Lexi out GG and PaPa's window. She loves talking to the dog through the glass in the doors! :) 
On Sunday evening, we took Hannah out on the boat for the first time on Lake Texoma. Every time we would go across the lake, she would get sleepy and almost fall asleep. First up was Uncle Clay skiing:
Hannah and I riding where we could watch him ski:
GG went skiing too and then we decided it was time to play in the water. GG and PaPa had to slowly coax Hannah to get in the water. Since she got sleepy on the ride, she wasn't sure about getting in, so PaPa dangled her feet first while GG tried to show her how much fun it was:
They were successful!
Giving PaPa a kiss:
PaPa teaching her how to float on her back:
I eventually got in the water with her to play (which is a big deal because I hate lake water- too much gross stuff to think about- fish, poop, dead bodies, etc):
Thanks Uncle Clay for getting in and out of the water to take our pictures! These are priceless memories that we can now share with her Daddy that wouldn't have happened without you! :)

Beach Day
Hannah and I went with some of the MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group to Avila Beach on Friday, June 19. She had SO much fun! This was the first trip that she actually enjoyed playing in the sand and the first trip it was warm enough to actually play a long time in a swimsuit. In the past at the beach, we have taken some pics in her swimsuit, and then had to put more clothes on her because the wind was too cold! She played for over three hours non-stop (and looked pretty cute doing it)! :)
