I have always dreamed of being a mom. I am now living that dream and realize I had no idea what "being a mom of 4" actually entailed. As the mom I am the one who is to blame for every frustration, every anger, and I am accountable to find every lost object. To top it off I am supposed to always magically be able to pull a drink, snack, wet wipe, sunscreen, etc out of my purse when every one of these kids so desires it. This vacation was exhausting, but super fun at the same time. Here are the pictures to show how the trip to San Antonio actually was with 4 young kids. Occasionally boring:
Kenzie only had a smile on her face when she was in the stroller:
Kaitlynn was only happy when she was doing things she shouldn't, like laying in this trough:
Or standing in the newspaper stand:
When we had to wait for something the kids were kept happy by posing silly for the camera:
Of course that only works for so long, eventually I had to just hand over the camera to keep the kids from complaining:
This is Anthony's reaction to my decision, obviously not to pleased:
Last but not least this is how family pictures really are. Thank goodness there is no sound with the pictures so you don't have to hear 3 of the 4 kids crying:
Ahh family vacations, you got to love them.
When we talked to the kids about the real reason we celebrate Easter Kenzie had some questions. She asked about our friend Sister Lord who recently died. I told Kenzie where her body went and where her spirit body went after she died. Kenzie then asked where did her head go?
Parker was like a wall, not letting many balls get past him:
Kenzie loved to run what ever way all the other kids on the team were running, but never actually touched the ball:
I think she preferred chatting with the girls on the bench:
Here is their #1 Fan:

Is it sad that this is how the kids look when we tell them to smile with their serious faces:
After the Alamo we headed to the Riverwalk and ate some delicious Tex-Mex right along the river:
The weather was perfect. What a fun day we had:
