Spring Break

 We've had Carlsbad planned for a year 

and rented a cute little 3 bedroom condo a few blocks 

from the beach. Rick found out he had his luitenant test right in

the middle of the week so he flew home, took the test, and flew back.

So day one we were going to do the San Diego Zoo and have Rick there until noon and then catch

his flight butttt we got to the zoo and he realized he forgot his cell phone at the condo almost an hour

away, so by the time he went and got it, came back, it was time to got to the airport

So I got to do the zoo with these two for the day. 

 Well it was definitely an interesting day

I laugh and tell people that I saw more bathroom stalls than animals

that day. Kellan went poop 4 times , it was insane. There was

nothing wrong with him, he just pooped a whopping 4 times. 

At lunch I had Mia save a seat at a table so I could get in line

45 min later I'm finally at the front getting my tray for food and she comes

running with Kellan ( leaves her spot) and tells me he has to poop

I had to leave the line and start #3 poop adventure

I told my sister this is why you are married when your kids are little.

You NEED the other person! It wasn't done, we then had to go again not even

30 minutes later. It was CRAZY. I was exhausted by the end of the day. 

But the kids were still smiling. That zoo is huge, I didn't loose anyone

I checked it off my list, and I survived the hour and half drive in traffic on

California freeway back to my condo 

( everyone who knows me knows that is amazing in itself) 

I told my mom I can do anything alone , we all can, I just don't want to

I'm so grateful I have a husband who wants to be with his family all the time and

will even fly back and forth to make it happen. 

I'm also so glad he is there for the bathroom 

parties! 

 the rest of the week we spent on the beach which the 

kids loved every second of. It was a little chilly for me so

I pretty much stayed in a sweatshirt but the kids didn't care.

 we went to Aunt Bre's and got to see her new baby

ducks so that was fun and play with cousins and even got to 

see Laith's football game but I forgot to take a pic of that. 

these two had a blast! 

 my friend Ang and her family were there too 

so we got to hang on the beach with

all the kids. They had too much fun! 

 and of course eat yummy food 

IT was a great Spring Break and even better Rick

found out on my bday that he passed the first part of his 

test so awesome bday present to me! 

 then we got home and had Easter and got to be with 

Nicole's family which the kids were sooo happy about!
