Friday we left for the beach and it turned out to be one of the worst car rides I have ever experienced!! We hit so much traffic our 3-hour tour turned into a 5.5 hour hell ride! Kailani had never been in her seat more than 30 minutes at a time so she was not used to her car seat- we stopped a half hour into the trip because of her screaming fit and she burped... then we were on our way- hit traffic, had to stop a few times to feed her, get dinner, she threw up on her self twice, was screaming bloody murder most of the way down- I was in tears, Michael was in the back seat trying to burp her while we were stopped in traffic..... I can't say enough how thankful I am that Bode is an amazing little boy- he talked the whole time and was an absolute angel, even though kailani puked on his leg at one point hahaha. We finally made it around 9:30pm and the kids got cleaned up and went to bed!
Kailani is a tough little girl so far- she has these screaming fits throughout the day where she can't be calmed- she has already burped, she has eaten, etc. We aren't sure if it's gas or if she has some kind of reflux or stomach problem but she is tough. Bode had a rough period when he was a newborn but Michael and I had what we call 'newborn amnesia' where we don't really remember his first few weeks- maybe lack of sleep??
tutu & gampa's grandkids!
Saturday morning we took Bode to the beach, even though the weather wasn't spectacular- he still got to play around and got knocked over by a wave!

After one of Kailani's night feedings, i went to check on Bode, who was sleeping like this!! Talk about a rough night LOL
Sunday morning we went to the beach to watch Michael surf fish- he wasn't able to catch anything but Bode had fun trying his fishing pole
Sunday my parents, Michael, and Charlie & Bode went on the boat while me, Sara, Alex & Aaron went to the beach- I took Kailani for an hour and then came home- she slept through the whole thing!
fishing on the boat- unfortunately Bode cried most of the time on the boat- he didn't like the rocking back and forth and was also due for a nap! Eventually, he fell asleep and everyone had fun!
Charlie loved fishing!
Sunday night we had a yummy steak dinner and celebrated Sara's 32nd birthday!!
pretty girl Kailani
The car ride home was much more pleasant- we didn't hit any traffic and the kids slept the whole way!
We stopped at home to unpack and stretch out before going to Aunt Cathy's Monday evening for a picnic
Bode loves laying with Kailani
what a ham!
