Trip to Texas...

In the end of March we were able to take our first airplane ride as a family of 5!! I wish i had taken a picture at the airport. We had 2 large suitcases (each somewhere around 49 lbs!), 2 carry on back packs, a double stroller and 3 car seats, plus 3 very small children!! We packed as light as possible and thanks to my sister who picked us up and dropped us off, we had great uneventful flights. Unfortunately i had chosen seats in the very back of the plane for all of us and there were no windows:( But the boys still had a blast taking in all the sights/sounds. They were all full flights so managing 2 lap babies was a bit tricky. I had it easy holding Elsie while Stephen took the 2 boys!



The first 3 days/nights we stayed with Grandpa and Grandma B., Elaine, Chelsea and Marcus in their rental home. It was spacious and very kid friendly and the boys had a great time running around and getting quiet nap times in between running around. Stephen and I were even able to catch a few of the NCAA games to catch up on our brackets!

Zoo pictures! Grandpa and Grandma B. treated us to a morning at the zoo. The boys were quite in awe of it all. It was funny, when we got in the minivan after we asked the boys what their favorite animal was at the zoo. Andrew said the sheep!!


Love this picture of them!



Hanging out with Grandpa!




Elsie and I love the Moby! I carry her everywhere in this and just love it. She sleeps a lot in it and it is special mommy/daughter time in the business of chasing little boys!


This is the best shirt! Thanks Uncle Josh and Aunt Michelle!
