Our FIRST family vacation!!



Hello Everyone! This is my first official post on my personal blog! Yippee :) This is a picture from our fist family adventure with Taelin (she is two months in this picture). We had so much fun on our trip to California. We went to the beach, several restaurants, played in the pool, went four wheeling etc... We had a the time of our lives!

Danny had a blast with Michael! They were inseparable on this trip. In Vegas they were constantly talking about the sights, girls, food, etc... They would stay up late playing pool, playing in the pool, tennis, ping pong, etc... As soon as the sun came up they were out on the beach with their boogie boards hitting up the waves. (Melissa has some fun pictures on her web site!) Then when all tuckered out took naps to recoup for the rest of the evening! We all had sooo much fun. I was so glad that Michael was there to have fun with Danny since I was still some what recouping from the baby and I was tired from waking in the middle of the night for feedings.

Taelin and I had a blast watching the boy's and all of their adventures. We even had a few of our own. Taelin had her first dip (just her toes) in the pool on her two month mark. She didn't care for the semi cool water. We walked on the beach, sat in the sand, bought a new hat, wore sun screen for the first time, strolled down the Las Vegas Strip, showered for the first time, and even learned how to burp while sitting in the car seat! (this was a blessing since we were driving to CA)

We all learned that it is important to take time for yourself even if it seems like you might not have the time. The fact is that we will make time for the things that are the most important to us and Family is just that! ( one of the most important)

Well until next time Enjoy! Love life and laugh!
