A bit of a problem...

The trouble with going on a trip is getting the kids re-adjusted to normal life. Daisy slept with me for two and a half weeks, and when we got home she wasn't at ALL happy about being in her crib again. So she has just done what any rational person would do, and refuses to lay down. She has slept standing up in her crib for over four weeks now. Obviously she doesn't get much rest like this, so she is crying off and on through the night. At some point, either Kevin or I usually give in and bring her in bed with us. But if I try to lay her down in her crib, she wakes up and stands right back up. I took a picture because Calvin wouldn't believe me. He always tells me my kids are going to need therapy. He may be right on this one...

Christmas Vacation

We had a great time over Christmas visiting Kevin's family in Logan. The kids had a great time visiting their grandparents, and got sufficiently spoiled Christmas morning. Daisy got a few dolls and a stroller, Andy got cars, a superman cape, and various superhero toys. The week after Christmas we flew over to California to meet up with the rest of my family. We all stayed in a big house together right next to Disneyland. The kids loved playing in the pool everyday, and they could usually convince Calvin, Keith or Rachel to take them swimming. We went to Disneyland, Sea World, the Wild Animal Park, and Universal Studios. Every day was sooo much fun and Andy keeps asking me when we are going back. The only sad part of the trip was when the ticket-taker told Andy he wasn't tall enough to ride with me on Splash Mountain. Oh- the look on his face was heartbreaking!! Daisy couldn't get enough of the rides - she is fearless! I loved getting to spend time with my brothers and sisters, playing lots of games and talking and laughing a lot. Here are a few pictures from the trip, in no particular order. As usual, I am not a great photographer so there weren't too many great ones to choose from.
