OUR VACATION

We just got back from Southern California. It was fun and warm.
I only took pictures while we were at the beach. BUT, I should've taken pictures of the make shift beds :) We got to the hotel and they informed us they didn't have cribs or anthing for the babies. (I was mad because when I made the the reservations I was undert he impression they had some.) SO, the first night we just put Ady on the floor and Matthew in bed with us. It was a HORRIBLE night. Ady or Matthew would wake up every hour crying and the other would wake because the other was crying. We ended up with both babies in bed with us and VERY little sleep. To makwe matters worse, Davis hadn't slept in 2 days. The last time he slept was Tuesday night. Wednesday night he decided to stay up and work and since we were leaving at 3 am, he didn't get to sleep. SO, he drove the first stretch until he needed to sleep and then I drove. He only got about an hour of in the car sleep (UGH) and then was up. He was hoping to be able to sleep that night, but with the bed situation there was no sleep then either. The second day we were there, my Mom and I went to Wal-Mart and bought two baby gates. In the room, there was a small closet about 2 ft by 2 ft so we made a bed out of pillows and blankets and kept them in with the gate. We did this in our room and my parents room. Ady and Tanner slept with my parents and we had Matthew. The last two nights were MUCH better.

Well, the wedding went well and we had fun seeing Uncle Derek and Aunt Cindy. Our favorite part was the beach. Here are a few pictures.

Ady in the beginning. She didn't really like the texture of the sand and she HATED the water. Notice the second picture.

Davis had both kids in the water, letting them get their feet wet. Can you guess who didn't like it?

Mom and Matthew. Matthew LOVED the sand and the water.

Tanner LOVED the beach. He dug in the sand. Played in the water. Ran from the waves. You know, all the fun beach things.


Too Cute! You can't tell, but Matthew is on the other arm
