San Diego in May

Back in February my sisters and I decided that we wanted to go on a girl's trip. We decided to go to San Diego for 5 days and take all of the kids. We wound up with 3 adults and 5 children under the age of 4 in a two bedroom suite. It was super crouded but we had a blast. Funny thing was, being the poor starving college students we were we had no money to go so I posted on craigslist and had a garage sale and sold almost everything we owned (which in and of itself was not much in the first place). So my goal was $302 which was the cost of the total trip and when all was said and done I had $304. Cutting it kinda close don't you think?

After almost 9 hours in the car the kids were ready to get out and spend some of the pent up energy on the hotel grounds.

We decided to go on a harbor tour (and for the life of me I can't remember what harbor it was). The boys were facinated by all the boats and water. The tour was about an hour long and that was just the right amount of time.

We spent two days at Sea World. They got to touch starfish, see Shamu, see dolphins, feed the sea lions, and run all over the park. By myself with two kids was quite the challenge but it was so fun. Next time we will be sure to bring Daddy along.

March and April

Here is our big boy learning to dress himself. He grabbed one of the onsies that is two small for the baby and put it on backwards.

These are just cute pictures of the baby.

A trip to great-grandpa's farm.

He got to play with the kittens

and give them a ride

Which I am sure they enjoyed every second of it.

Then they got to play on the tractor with Dad and great-uncle Mark

Daddy took us all out for dinner for My birthday and Aunt Beha came with.

Snow
Just near our house it snowed a good 5 inches so we took the boys to play in the snow for the first time.




























Badu Head
When he was a baby he started calling his diapers badus (said like ba-too) and the name has just stuck. So it all started one night when Daddy was changing his badu and thought it would be funny to put is on his head rather than his bottom.













And this is how it progressed....



His brother needed one












(He had the same smile in every picture)


























And he didn't want to leave the dog out.










Then mom had to have one.




















Then soon we became a whole family of badu heads.













Around the House
These are my favorite pictures of the baby. Check out this hair. He also learned how to stand on his own.

They love to climb around in the bottom of the entertainment center

This is one of those balls you use for kickball that went flat that he decided to use for a hat.

These two are good buddies and here is how they play outside together.

He learned how to climb the fence.
