Mexico Mexico Mexico


Ready for a vacation!


We are all big fans of the Milwaukee Airport!


Practicing our sight words on the plane.


Where did all these kids come from?!?


:-)


And just because two strollers, luggage, children and passports wasn't enough fun, we decided to add a wheelchair. 

Can't say enough good things about flying out of Milwaukee.
  Too bad they don't have a direct flight to SLC.




Someone enjoyed flying.


If only every flight had Frozen.



Pool-side napping


Turns out everyone has a vacation-on-crutches war story. My knee was actually a great conversation starter. 





Casado Real, nice all-inclusive option!


Beauty






Again, my view for most of the week. I did get in the pool the second half of the week.


The original Pueblo Bonita Blanco


Addy loved the sand so much she laid down on it immediately. The second her toes touched it. 







Not staged



With the prized (and delicious) Sierra that Hunter and Savanna caught the day prior. It was delicio-so!



After transferring from the car, she slept like this for another TWO HOURS


Getting a drink from the "Barn"


Pit stop under the highway because..Mexico.









Bingo night with Grandma






Our new game Speak Out. It is as funny as you think it is. And more.


Keep tissues handy for laughing so hard you cry. And because you might drool a little bit.


Santa Maria beach


Infirmary/nursery





Amazing snorkeling here!



Walking/crutching along the beach to dinner at Cascades. 







It's orange juice, I swear.


Pacific waves


Kit and Teddy Roosevelt







Women and babies and bougainvillea





Addy's prized shell collection




Sibling (plus Lewis and Isaac) beach front dinner. 



Checking out the pool at the Rose



The flamingos were SO COOL



Helping grandma with dinner



Just give Isaac a couch arm and he's happy





Kit wins husband-of-the-year award (again!) for taking this crew to Mexico--two babies and a cripple.





Residence Inn breakfast in Arizona



Addy tested the missionaries' ability to complete the Sofia the First puzzle. They passed. Barely.

Busy February



Addy has really gotten the hang of her tricycle recently!


"You expect me to eat this mother?"


:-)


[heart eyes]




See "ray of sunshine" comment from before.


Unloading all of the boxes by hand since the truck didn't have a lift gate (Translation: No lift gate = Stress for Lynne with a capital S)


But we made it!


And they only take up half of our garage, not too bad!



Addy's not too sure about them.


Opening the first box...let out a sign of relief when the new packaging element we added actually looked good. Thank goodness. 


Mother and son sticking out like a sore thumb at the Daddy/daughter dance




Daddy and daughter


The silly name game that the girls love









Notice Isaac's little blue hat


Proud of her magnets at the library


First time Addy wrote her name independently. "A" on the bottom left, "d" next to it, "y" above that, and the "d" on top.


Totally a normal "pool" experience at our house.


Tummy time--you're doing it wrong


Curtain rod demise, part two


making dinner buddy--look at those toes!


Preschool about Valentine's day



Not enough pictures of me. So there ya go.



I think this is one of my all-time favorite videos of Addy. Learning to hula in her hula pajamas.
