Viva Las Vegas!!!!!!!!!!


Last Tuesday I went with the kids to Las Vegas to visit my sister-in-law, Shae, and her daughter Lucy while my brother went to Texas for his job. We had a blast. Shae was very gracious in taking us shopping to all the outlets, twice on some of them!

Since this was Maleina's and Tyler's first trip to Las Vegas we did the tourist thing. Tyler had a blast looking at all the elaborate decor that Vegas provides down the strip. The size of the buildings, lights, shows, and of course his favorite....M&M World. He had hopes of riding the New York New York roller coaster but was too short and ended up being thankful because I neglected (on purpose) to tell him it goes upside down. I love roller coaster and maybe next time I will ride it.

Mark flew down on Friday morning to join us in our vacation. We missed him while we were separated and I was glad that he was willing to fly down and join us for the last two days in Vegas. It was sooooo much fun.

The kids were troopers in the car and very rarely complained about how much longer we would be driving.

We had a lot of fun spending time with Shae and Lucy and can hardly wait to go back down there to visit them in July. We did get to spend a night with Chris on Saturday and had an enjoyable dinner at Archie's a Thai restaurant. Then we went to Yogurt Land for dessert the best frozen yogurt ever!!!!

Thank you Chris and Shae for your hospitality! We had a fantastic time!



Tyler and Maleina swimming in the very cold water. Unfortunately the pool heater was not working when we visited but Tyler was dedicated to swimming anyways.

Broken Elbow



So a month after the anniversary of Maleina's first broken arm she did it again today. She was riding on a bouncy horse at Grandma and Grandpa's giggling and having a blast then she fell off. The fun ended and the screaming began. A trip to Instacare and a broken elbow to top off our night. Wouldn't you know it, she breaks her elbow 2 days before we take off for a vacation to Las Vegas. Bummer! She is quite the little trooper. Hang in there Maleina. Love, Mom.

Easter






As a family we had a delightful Easter Sunday. The kids enjoyed and Easter egg hunt around the house (since it had snowed a few days before). The got a bunch of sand toys and some clothes. Overall we had a great day with the family.
