Ahhhhhh...Vacation!

We are on vacation. A much needed vacation...for Edgar especially. The last vacation we took, he ended up in the emergency room getting a 6mm kidney stone removed. I think he is due :) My Mother & Father-in-law rented a house for all of us, and we are enjoying ourselves

Edgar and I actually arrived yesterday. It was kind of nice to get here before everyone and get a little settled. We got organized and went for a little walk. Eric and Leilani arrived soon after we got back. We headed to bed nice and exhausted. Unfortunately at 1:00 Leah woke up...and stayed up until 3:00...crying on and off, keeping mom up. We ended up sleeping the rest of the night on the futon. Mommy woke up pretty tired. Leah was completely well rested...not sure how that works.

We got up this morning and headed to the beach...I took zero pictures. It was Leah's first time at the beach and I have no pictures of it :( Oh well...we'll be back to the beach again soon! It was very fun watching her enjoy the beach...and even more fun watching Eli and his daddy playing in the water. Edgar is such a good daddy-it was so amazing to watch him get Eli over his fear of the water and get him to actually get in the water. I could sit back and watch the 2 of them play all day.

When we got back everyone was there and we spent the afternoon hanging out and having fun. Leah has been entertaining to watch...she's been rolling all over the place. She enjoys licking the floor...lovely. I've been trying to sweep often. A little dirt never hurt anyone, right?
Edgar showing off his Wii intimidation pose...

The kids played out on the balcony for quite a while. They are having a BLAST all being together.

Eli lining up all of his cars...inspecting them to make sure they are nice and straight :)

This picture is just to show off Eli's mosquito bites. We went for a walk last night and got attacked...and as usual Eli's bites turned into welts. He currently has 8 welts. Lovely. It's kinda buggy here around dusk...and Eli is a mosquito magnet.

I think Abuela is in Heaven huggin' on her grandbabies :)

Such a pretty little girl :)

Leah hanging out with her Aunt Leilani...and talking to her her unborn cousin :)

The boys had dinner duty tonight. We were joking about how many it took for them to light the grill...They made hamburgers and hot dogs.

Isaac trying on Aunt Krista's hat.

Leah liked playing with it too.

...back to the dinner preparation. In the end, the charcoal we got was no good-it wouldn't stay lit or hot, so it wouldn't cook the food. So the boys had to bring the stuff in and fry the hamburgers on the stove. I thought my mom would appreciate the Tiger's apron getting put to good use :)

Isaac & Abuela playing

The boys and their phones...it's an addiction :)

After dinner we finally celebrated our birthdays. Yeah...it's only over a month late...but better late than never, right? Lovely picture..

After cake we went for a swim in the pool, but had to dodge mosquitoes again, so we weren't in the pool for very long. We gave the kiddos baths and put them to bed. Hoping for a better night from Leah...ugh. We'll see how Eli and Katie do sharing a bed tonight...hopefully Katie doesn't wake up with bruises from our wild man sleeper.

The boys are playing Wii. We're just hanging out and enjoying each other. I'm sure we're in for a great vacation!!
