first family road trip

we recently took a trip down south to visit some great friends in the OC and then my parents in SB.  the day we left felt like one of the longest days of our lives....it started with a 6 month doctor check-up and was followed by an 11 hour road trip (yes, i did say 11 hours!).  

the good news is that the babies are as healthy as can be.  the doctor also validated what random people have been telling us...these are big babies!  jacks weighed in at 17lbs 12oz (60th percentile for boys), is 27 inches tall (75th percentile), and has a head circumference in the 70th percentile.  livi, the little porker, is 17lbs 7oz (80th percentile for girls), is 26.5 inches tall (75th percentile) and has a head circumference in the 90th percentile.  

that's a healthy looking baby

we went through about three layers of that tissue paper...
it was chaos with the babies tearing it apart!

one of many naps on the drive down

dinner on the road

one of several driving breaks...
usually in a patch of grassy shade next to a gas station!

there were a few unplanned stops thanks to
our poop machine

brock was a gracious host and let the four of us camp out in his bedroom

meeting kaeden for the first time...

um, mom, who are these monsters?

can you please get your sweaty foot off me?

hmmm, a little chunky for my taste

lunching with his new buddy

trying to look cool in his fancy ride

happy livi!

dinner with auntie maleia!

early morning run to starbucks while we let dad sleep in on father's day

jacks slept through our father's day lunch

the doctor wanted to make sure we're showing them books...
not sure if this is what she meant

yay!  what a treat to visit auntie diana!

napping while diana and i caught up

john had a great father's day

we missed you grandma snoozie and papa bob!

mom and dad don't look as excited as grandma and grandpa

teaching livi how to do my favorite thing in SB...
lay on the couch!

dancing with grandma

future swimsuit model?!?

look at those sculpted calves

loving her new baker bob toy from lauren

it's never too chilly to play at the beach

i love trucks

trying to change a flat tire

strengthening her immune system

off to the park

working up an appetite

hi baby girl


any resemblance to livi and jacks?!

big booty livi

playing with uncle mike!

really, liv...lebron?

yeah, you're in trouble little girl!

we missed leanne after 5 days away!


we experimented with lunch in the bumbos

someone had a good time

we'll probably stick to the high chairs

cute outfits knit by grandma vivi

woohoo!!

livi's little brother

bones has been requesting some quality time with dad

had fun at a bbq for john's work...
even got to play on the first step of the pool

the babes have recently become obsessed with bones

first run with the babies

rocking her leg warmers

learning how to drink from a straw

it may take a while based on the first try

they are sitting like pros now...
although they do still tip-over on occasion

see you next week!
