California for Em's birthday!

We took a quick trip to California to celebrate Emmie's 2nd birthday and see TT, Brando, and Em's new house! We had so much fun with cousin Em, TT, and Uncle Brando! It isn't easy to travel with small children, but TT, Uncle Brando, and Em made it SO smooth! They borrowed car seats so we didn't have to travel with any, we used Em's pack and play, and their new house had three rooms so none of our kids had to share!

Our little travelers!


They loved the train at DIA! SO much that Landen wouldn't get off....it wasn't pretty!


Landen's last trip as a lap child!


Cruising through the Sacramento airport! They love feeling grown up and carried their own luggage for the most part:)




The two little ladies in the morning!


All ready to go!


Holding hands!


The first morning we went to an awesome place with SO much for the kids to do! The boys loved this bird seed sensory box!


Andie did arts and crafts with Daddy for a long time!


Em playing with the chocolate dough!


Cousins playing in the bird seed!


Caden spent most of the time outside in the sandbox:)




And some time building....



The girls giving their babies a bath! These two want to match at all times! Still! Every night Andie asks me what pajamas Em is wearing. She asks me to text TT to make sure that Em wears the same since they're an hour behind and;)


Mud pies!


Quite time reading with Daddy on Uncle Brando and TT's new couch! 


After nap / quiet time we took the kids to the fountains and for a train ride!




Silly Cado!


All four littles eating their delicious taco dinner TT made:)

Every night they would have a "campfire" with their globies, babies, and books. This isn't the campfire, but it was a cute shot of Andie "reading" to Em in her monstrous new closet:)


Boys at the breakfast table!


Sacramento Children's Museum! Twinners!


Lando loved this ball drop!


This interactive topographical map was the coolest thing! The kids could move the sand into hills and valleys and the map would change! They could add rain and make lakes....so fun!




Cado building himself a staircase!


Broncos light bright!


Lando painting away!




Dancing!


That afternoon we went to an indoor playground that had lots of fun slides and ball pits! Here is Lou shooting into the big pit!


Cado was serious! He was playing with some other kids against the guys across the pit!


Em and Lando chilling in the middle:)


Girls in the bath with their "Mes amies" ("my friends" in french) hats! Andie is currently into Fancy Nancy and Word World, where she learns a little french;)


The beautiful birthday girl at her puppy party, blowing out the candles on her cookie ice cream sandwich!


The party was absolutely adorable and there was a lot of sweets....which Andie decided to sit down and eat in hiding:)


Birthday girl and her Daddy!


Some of the friends at the party!


Andie took this selfie of her and TT during quiet time:)


Playing in Em's birthday present from her parents!


Every time Andie needed to go potty, she took Em with her!


Heading home! Lando also loved the train at the Sacramento Airport and had another fit when we had to take him off:(


Finally home! Thanks for a great trip TT, Brando, and Em!!!
