I've been home for several days, but it took me until now to recooperate and to not want to vent about the joys of flying across the united states at 5 am, pregnant, with a 1 1/2 year old. Noah decided to throw up his grape juice breakfast on me during our first flight,...I luckily had a change of clothes for B, I was not so fortunate. I looked like I was wearing a tie die shirt all day. Poor little guy though,...he wasn't feeling well and just wanted to be snuggled. 
Basically I was traveled out before I left for Tennessee....Having said that...we had a wonderful time! :) If only I could snap my fingers and be somewhere! Come on technology! I love to see my family but I could do without all the travel.
It was the best to see Elle and Noah interact! They are at such a fun stage. Melts my heart to watch them play together. They kind of have a love hate relationship. Noah is still trying to learn manners when it comes to hitting and pulling hair,...but when they are having fun together,...they are bestest buds! 
Noah B and Elle had coordinating Christmas outfits for church. Now how cute is this...?! :)
We had a pre-Christmas because Kara, James, and Elle won't be coming to Idaho for Christmas. BOO HOO! :( But we had fun opening presents! :)
We went to the Memphis Zoo where they did "Zoo Lights". We saw reindeer, lights and carolers. We even went on a train ride and were able to decorate sugar cookies! :) 
My mom made this trip totally managable! :) She is such a good grandma! She would play with the babies, change their diapers, put them to sleep, and love them to pieces. It was nice not to have to worry about the small things and to enjoy some time relaxing.
I was so good to see James, Kara, and Elle! We wish we all lived closer,..someday! I'm so grateful for sisters! I Love Ya Kara.

I love all of the pictures! Too bad traveling sucks so bad. Its so hard traveling with toddlers. Oh well! Have fun this weekend with Nic and Zac!
ReplyDeleteI love the photos. Thanks for putting them up. It was great to spend time with you girls, and with the kids. I love to see them 'cousining'. The will be great friends for their whole lives!
ReplyDeleteI love pictures of cute little ones hugging. You are ambitious traveling. I even dreaded the flight from Boise to Salt Lake when Tyler was just barely one. It looks like it was a fabulous trip..minus the stained shirt! :(
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun trip. That is nice you were able to go out there and see her. So did you find out if monday would work for dinner let amberlie or I know!! Talk to you soon.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of fun! The pictures are great.
ReplyDeleteWow! Your shirt really was tye die after that with it being cream! So glad that you had a good time. It is always fun to be with family!
ReplyDeleteTraveling does stink that is for sure! I just had to laugh when I saw your tie dye shirt!! Are you experiencing morning sickness yet? We just flew to Seattle, about a 6 hour flight and so I totally understand. I am flying home alone with two and I have no idea how I will survive. I may have to pull out the benadryl! Glad that you had such a good time. Your mom is so sweet! I will send you my address.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling of wearing throw up! But at least your trip turned out to be fun!
ReplyDeleteSpending time with family is the BEST, huh?! Looks like you had so much fun. How are you feeling? You look great, girl!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a great trip! Your kids are so cute - enjoy it because this is a really fun age. I love how close you all are.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!!!
Oh shell, there truely is nothing glamours about traveling with children right!? Love the "purple-tie-die" Lol. Sorry I know thats not funny, but I've so been there! Noah looks so sad and sickie in that picture, poor kid. But Im sure seeing little Elle and Kara made up for the crappy flight. All you guys look so cute all bundled up in your hats are scarfs. gorgeous girls!!! oh and Noah's so handsome. Im so glad for you that your mom went with ya to help out. I made it official, that Im done flying back to Idaho with Maggie by myself- but hearing about your little trip just confirmed my decision even further. glad you guys had fun- merry christmas! can't wait to hear the sex of the twins- Im so excited for you!!! you are going to find out right???!!! you have to!
ReplyDeleteOh,loved the grape stained shirt! Ha! I know exactly how you feel! Can you believe me and my mom took the twins and flew to Vegas when they were about 5 1/2 months! Needless to say I'd never do that again! ;) But the pics are all SO cute! It's so fun to get to see family! :)
ReplyDeleteHats off to you!! Traveling is far from relaxing with kids. Thank goodness your mom was with you. Looks like you had a good time once you got there.
