road trip to AZ

in mid-October,

we took a road trip to AZ

for 2 family weddings.

at least 30 hours in the car

and 4 different hotels/homes

over 5 1/2 days

with 3 kids 2 & under...

and, WE SURVIVED!

and, had lots of fun too!!!

(although, as expected, there were plenty of painful moments as well)

here is what our trip looked like...

LOTS of time in the mini van

donuts in bed.

early morning walks with babies that woke up way too early!

pool time!

Aunt Corky

me & McKay sharing a cookie

family...

Mimi!

Beck loves baby Jackson!

sleepovers with Mimi & Papa

baby races down the hotel hallway

too funny!

Papa!

mexican food!

Wedding fun...

meeting a little "Caisa" for this first time...

this sweet little girl was named after me

this little guy definitely takes after his dad on the dance floor

fun cousins

sitting in the hotel hallway waiting for the babes to fall asleep in our room...

oh the fun of traveling with so many "littles"! 

some fun pics from a little hike one morning

the cemetary to see

Grandma Block, Grandma Marge & Zachary

cheeto faced tired boy!

visiting Adrian's Aunt Sandra & family

(they basically live in Mexico)

 visiting Adrian's grandparents...

lots of late night transfers

of sleeping kiddos

from the car to a hotel room

we were finally on our way home...

playing at a park while Adrian did some work

the drive home was never ending!

and this is how Beck and I felt about that...

 we had SO much fun

and were able to see SO much family!

SO, i'm sure we will brave another road trip

with all our "littles"

but, it'll be awhile!

i'm still tired.

 (none of my kids are looking,

but i'll take what i can get these days!)
