Another Long One!

Just wanted to start with something funny. Have you seen What About Bob?

See a resemblance?

They're blurry, but check this out!

Oh my gosh, I can't stop laughing. I'm sure he'll love this when he's older! And just for the record, I have never met Bill Murray! ;o)

So, we took a quick trip home last weekend. We saw Gramps. (I am NOT responsible for the hair do in this picture. Way too neat and proper for me) :O)


Ahhhh.....that's more like it!! ;o)

......and Coco

....and Grandma Paula and Grandpa Michael

We went to celebrate Mike and Molly. Well, Molly really. :O) It was her bridal shower. She is marrying my cousin Mike. We all thank them both for this because we LOVE Molly!!! We happen to love Molly's family, too!!!

This is Molly and her sister, Kelly.

Molly with her new Mama. (in law) Yay for Aunt Barbara!!

The cousins. (the girls anyway)

Benny got to see his cousins and aunts and uncles. This is him with Kendall. He really loved Kendall. He got a huge smile every time he looked at her.

Auntie Paula Faye

BellaBoo

Auntie Nancy, Auntie Gina, Grandma Paula

I told you we love Molly and her family. Benny is no exception. He absolutely LOVED Molly's dad, Jack.

He stayed in Jack's lap until he fell asleep.

Nobody takes a nap without Gabriella!

Brian had to get in on that, too. See him on the couch.

Then it was off to more fun with the cousins. Here is Mike.

Mike took him in the pool.

Then he played with Brian.

Auntie Gina got a few minutes in.

He even got to touch a snake for the first time.

This is Brian's baby. He is 13 years old, I think. I can't remember his name right now, but he is a cool snake.

Auntie Nancy and Gab.

Auntie Gina and Kendall

We had a fun weekend. It went way too fast and I miss everyone already. Mike and Molly head off to Hawaii in August to get married. Then we will all meet again for their reception in September. I can hardly wait to be with everyone again. We love you guys.

Did we do it?

NOPE!!!!

The locks are still firmly intact. We ran out of time!! :O) I guess we will just get to enjoy them until Grandma comes to visit.

Finally!

Here are the vacation pictures I have been promising. There's a lot so be prepared.

We started off the fun at Grandma Paula's house. This is the only picture I took when I was there. I can't believe I did that. We had so much family over for Memorial Day. I could have had some great shots. What was I thinking????

Then it was off to Pismo to see the Oakleys. Moose was none too excited to his chinese cousins (the pugs) show up again. But he allowed us in anyway.

The day we arrived was just beautiful. It was chilly, but so pretty. We went to a very nice lunch where we got to see almost all the Oakleys. We missed the uncles Sam, Troy and Daniel though. :O( This is the view from our table. Needless to say, we stayed for a pretty long time. Who could leave?

Kennedy and Andrea were inseparable, of course. They love each other so much. I wish they lived closer to each other.

So handsome.

This guy was hang gliding right in front of us. It was fun to watch.

Guess who loves a good pickle??

He takes after his Bubby.

Then we walked right down to some tide pools. We had a great time down there. I love the ocean.
Steve, Uncle Ben, and Benny

Time for a quick nap. Thanks for the resting place Granddad!

These pictures are for you, Charity. I always love your pictures of the boys reading to Brad, so I took some myself. :O)

So, we were really bad parents and we forgot to put sunblock on Benny the first day. We weren't in direct sunlight for long, but it was long enough to burn his little cheeks.

Check out this outfit. I think she might be a designer one day. :O)

On the pier in Avila.

More beach. No idea where the scratch on his nose came from.

We went to Moro Bay. We love it there. There is plenty of wild life and more tide pools. Always a great time.

Can you see the jelly fish?

Super fat squirrels begging for food.Otter


Chipmunks???!!!! ;o)

Granddad took the kids and Steve out on the quads. I didn't go, so I don't have any pictures. I only have these of the girls when they climbed on them on the trailer.

All the Oakley grandkids together with Gam and Granddad.

Oops. Self portrait without checking the focus. ;o)

The flips.

Back to the Argento family. Benny with Grandma Jennie.

Benny with Uncle Phil.

Benny with Papa Paul.

It was fun. Now, it's been so long, I want to go back. Good thing I get to go tomorrow!!!! :O) We are going to celebrate Molly. Can't wait to see everyone!!
