Life in Texas: Trip to Cali

So the Sunday after Brody's birthday party we packed up and headed to California for Mark's brother Ryan's wedding. The boys did great on the plane. Both of them fell asleep towards the end of the flight. Brody actually ended up having an accident but Mark and I take full responsibility. We gave him four cups of milk and only took him potty once so it was bound to happen. We just wrapped him in a blanket, Mark carried him down to the baggage claim, and when our luggage got there we did a quick change and all was ok. Judy and Joel picked us up at the airport, they had to bring two cars because there are so many of us now and we had a ton of luggage. We were originally going to leave for California on Wednesday but Mark decided to go to Shane's bachelor party which was on Monday so we flew out early so I could have help with the boys and also because flights to Vegas were a lot cheaper from Oakland then they were from Austin. So Mark flew to Vegas on Monday and came back on Wednesday. Me and the boys just hung out with Granka and Granda (those are the names Brody came up with for Judy and Joel). We swam, picked raspberries and just played. It was very relaxing and a lot of fun. Alan got there on Tuesday and Ryan and Meghan arrived Wednesday afternoon. On Thursday we had a family photo shoot with the wedding photographer. Brody was not wanting to cooperate, but with a bunch of burping, toys and the entire family yelling say cheese, we ended up getting some great shots. I really want to order a large print of the family to have framed and hang it in the house. Friday was the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner and Saturday was the wedding. I'll do a wedding post after this one. It was so good to have the whole family together. We loved seeing everyone and getting to spend time together.
