Oh, to be a kid again...

Summer feels like it was so long ago. But this January weather's been holding up pretty nicely huh? Looking at these photos makes my heart smile.

Last year we went down to the LA/San Diego area for a quick weekend getaway, and luckily we were able to sneak in some family time with a few members that we don't get to see very often. One of which is my stink-in cute God daughter/neice, Kiana, who's an all around happy-go-lucky kid.

Life is good when there's not a care in the world, and curiosity gets the best of you. After a big hug, Kiana quickly grabbed my hand and said, "Auntie, do you want to go for a walk?"



When she saw the Lifeguard truck she said, "Oooo... take a picture of me!" Afterwards she asked, "Can we go up to the Lifeguard Tower?" I asked her "Why?" And she said, "I just want to see."

So of course we had to climb the stairs to the tower, and once she got up there she got very shy on me, so it looked like I was the ONE who wanted to go "check" out the lifeguards in the tower! Thanks Kiana!
How can I say no to this face???
Soo cute, the water made her shorts droopy, she kept pulling on them to make sure they didn't slip. Hehe...



She found a rock and said, "Ohhh... my sister collects rocks! I'm going to give this to her."
Pretending to surf the waves...

Kiana, you have a heart of gold and I hope you never lose your sense of curiosity. I'm a very lucky auntie to have you in my life. I look forward to seeing and hearing all about your achievements as you go through life. I love you munchkin!
