Busy Week

Last week we decided to take a family trip together just the four of us before Lyla joins us. Tim's grandparents let us borrow their trailer, so we loaded up nd headed to Pismo beach for the weekend for what was supposed to be an enjoyable, relaxing and refreshing weekend. I can definitely say that there were some highlights and moments of laughter, but overrall boy was it a lot of work!! Drew's incessant energy was impossible to tame out in the open. They really need to make fenced in campsites so that parents with young shildren don't have to try and herd their children all day long. Though we could be inside in the trailer Drew just wanted to be outside running around, and so did Jeffy!!! The two are quite the energetic pair.


We left Bakersfield on Friday morning and the weather here was absolutely beautiful only to arrive at the FREEZING COLD beach, and I mean freezing!! It was so cold and I was so unprepared that we had to spend Satuday morning at the laundromat to wash the only warm outfit I had brought for Drew so that he could re-wear it. On a happy note, I got to go shopping at the Carter's outlet over there because I couldn't just let me baby freeze for two days.




As soon as Drew hit the sand he was gone. I have never seen the kid run so fast. Neither Tim nor I could keep up with him so we sent Jeffy in to help control him. Instead, he knocked him straight down to the ground. Drew was amused. . . mouth full of sand and all!


Bow-wow Bow-wow.... No Drew that's a Birdie. . .


It was so cold on the beach that day that his feet were bright red from walking barefoot in the sand. Poor baby!!

Walking the beach trails by the campground. We could hear the ocean, so we walked, and walked, and walked, and never found the ocean.


This was my favorite part of the whole trip. We took Drew and Jeffy to a beautiful park and just let them run wild. Notice he is always running AWAY from me... my little Mr. Independence.

This was the only thing warm the whole weekend. The sun had come out just enough to warm up Shamu and boy was it nice. Drew really enjoyed sitting on the big Bow-wow... no Drew, its Shamu!!




Lyla Update: I am now 34 weeks pregnant and having LOTS of contractions all day long. I am starting to get really excited, but don't want to get my hopes up that this baby will be here early. My next doctors appointment is March 31 and so we'll see if those contractions are actually accomplishing anything. I had an ultrasond last week and Doc said that she measures small. This does not mean that they are changing my due date, it just means that she is going to be a dainty little thing at birth. I really can't complain about that considering Drew was such a tank! I can't wait to meet my little girl and put bows in her hair!!
