The Long Trek Home
July 8, 2017
Saturday morning started out really fun and easy. We woke up slowly and headed down for breakfast with my family before hitting up the pool. Let me just say that my kids were probably more excited about going to the pool than they were about the baseball game that we were down there for! They had so much fun splashing and "swimming" even though none of them can swim yet >>I know, they need lessons stat!<<. The boys are tall enough now to jump in on the 3 foot end so they had a ton of fun jumping in hundreds of times!
We finally made our first EVER trip to IKEA! Oh boy, it was huge and crowded and we were only in there for two things but gosh...I am definitely going back when there's more money in the budget for a house project! They have everything you could ever imagine! In my head I redecorated every room in our house as we walked through. The babes were troopers through that whole ordeal but the ice cream//cinnamon roll line was WAY too long so we snatched a thing of cookies as we checked out and oh my oh my they were tasty. A well deserved little treat for everyone!
Before we got back on the road we needed to eat lunch because at this point it was already after 2 pm. We were all hot, tired, and hungry. We stopped at the perfect outdoor mall downtown and had chipotle. We treated the kids to Ben and Jerry's to cool them off before we made the three hour drive home.
I must say, a three hour drive is not bad unless you're REAL tired....we only made it home alive because I pounded cookies like it was my job to stay awake. Everyone else was passed out COLD until someone woke Sawyer up very very very prematurely....then the crying kept me awake. Phew! We're glad we went, we're glad we're home, and we're glad to have some new memories to tuck away.

Our First Baseball Game
July 7, 2017
We had the opportunity to go to a Dodger game this last weekend for the first time as a family and it was so much fun! We had a long, hot, exhausting 24 hours but we made some good memories along the way. Our trip started out with traffic from Santa Barbara to Santa Clarita >>aka almost the entire trip.<< Once we made it to our hotel we had fifteen minutes to unpack, change >>throw on lots more layers of deodorant<<, and get back on the road! We were only ten miles from the stadium but it took us over an hour to drive there and get a parking spot. It was kinda crazy. Our kids were so good the entire drive down and into the stadium >>ptl<< Porter didn't even make a peep. We arrived tired, hot, and hungry an hour late to a seven o'clock game...yes, that is our kids bed time. And yes, we did in fact pay for that the following two days haha...I would say it was pretty worth it.
We got back to our hotel well after midnight, watched a little LOTR to power down and then we CRASHED. Porter slept in our bed which we are NOT used to...neither of us were very happy about it <<haha>>. He woke up a few times fussing like "get out of my bed!" and woke up for good around 7:30 am so I got little to no sleep that night. Next time, we'll bring the pac-n-play FOR SURE! The older boys slept great in their queen size bed together and Harper slept in another room with one of my sisters. Day trips are so fun but so exhausting with five babes in tow!

Spring Break...All the Feels
Our spring break didn't start off quite as we had planned it but that doesn't mean it's ruined! Monday and Tuesday have both been rainy which means Daddy had to take the car to work which left us car-less until after lunch...I don't know about any other mamas out there but if we don't get up and going in the morning, my energy level plummets and the likelihood of getting five kids out for an adventure in the late afternoon by myself is less than likely to happen. We took the babes out to lunch before dropping Kaleb back off at work. Lunch was....let's just say...woah. Everyone was fighting over the one beverage I purchased for them >mistake number one< and the whining was off the charts. I thought "Holy moly, what the crap is going on right now?!? Do we need naps? Do we need time outs? How are we going to recover from this?!" I decided to risk it...will it rain? Who cares...Will everyone whine and cry? Who cares...Will Sawer flip a lid switch because the chances of his clothes getting wet after the rain are like 100%?? Who cares.... TO THE PARK WE WENT!
It ended up being a really fun afternoon and it was just what the babes needed! A little sunshine and fresh air goes a long way! It may have been humid and a little hot but we had the playground pretty much to ourselves and there was no bickering or whining and it was nearly two hours of Heaven.
