A LONG New Years week post

Two days after Christmas we drove to Las Vegas to spend a week with JOey's family.  Three of those days were spent in St. George.  We had such a great time, and, once again were reminded that we live in BFE far, far away from family;(  Here are a few shots of what we did that week:

We met baby Ty!  Such a good, sweet baby!

Had some Lukey and crazy Georgie bonding time.  Luke is always sweet.  
Georgie, sometimes, is too cool for boys.  I'm sorry Lukey.

Playing in the Sand Dunes with Mimi

The Condo that Rosie found was awesome.  The kids were ecstatic about bunk beds and the "flat screen" (as Tanner referred to it;) in the bedroom.  Ashlee and I were a bit aghast at the iCarly episodes that they kept finding on NickJr.  I felt grateful that we don't have cable...do I sound like a homeschooling Mom?!

Juliet and Ty...sweet, sweet, sweet

Juliet was 5 months on this day, so here's a picture of her newest obsession...her feet;)  I don't blame you, Juliet, I'm obsessed too!
Can you find our big guys on the hill anywhere?  One morning when we were all getting ready to go hang out and swim at the Rec Center we realized we were missing Isaac and Tanner.  A short while later someone spotted them WAY up high on the hill immediately behind our condo.

Here's a zoom of their location.  They were so proud of themselves.

Juliet and Aunt Jennie 
Their baby pictures look a lot alike! 

 JuJu and Mimi!
PoPop brought his Rhino so that we could do some off roading.  The kids LOVED it, especially Isaac.  And I liked the idea a lot as well.  It's like 4 wheeling except safer.




 Aunt J and the boys


 Don't they look like nerdy bird watchers;)  
But they do look adorable in their matching plaid shirts Mimi!
Georgie LOVES Coop!

A pregnant Aunt Sara!  FINALLY!! 
 
 Buddies
Best Buddies!

All the "Grands"!

There we all are (minus Lizzie)! 
 How fortunate we feel to have friends that so happen to be our FAMILY!

Vegas 2010

Vegas 2010

Aren't they sweet!  And there are two more comin' soon!!

The 4 year olds...man I love this age!

Here's Georgie giving Isaac a morale hug.  Boy did he need it.  
We/Jake tried to get Isaac up on skis but the poor little guy was so stressed out about it that it never happened. He hardly relaxed the entire day at the Lake until his ski misadventures were over and we told him that he didn't have to try again.  Now anytime the words boat or lake are mentioned he asks with a panic in his voice, "Do I have to ski"?  We're currently working on Isaacs self-defeating thoughts.  Any suggestions?

Lukey is like a ray of Sunshine.  Every family should have one!!




Surf's up! 
If you haven't tried surfing behind a boat, do.   Nothin' better for kids.

Games of "Chicken" at the pool became a favorite...regular "chicken" and "chicken basketball".

I LOVE Aunt J's laugh...so cute and all encompassing!  
Georgie took quite a liking to Jenny too;)  She loves girls!


I really like this one!



Mimi had Georgie swimming like a Fish before we left.    She's basically pool safe and completely independent!  My pregnant body has been loving that this summer...Pool= lounge time for mommy!!




Loving each other (they really do) 
in front of the Egyptian Goddess of protection;) at the Vegas history museum.





And don't forget the fire...all part of the trip!

We had a great time.  It was so great being with everyone that I EVEN had thoughts of living in Vegas one day;0  Despite the heat, I know we'd love it.  It will be a summer vacation talked about for years and years to come (mostly because of the fire;)...loving Mimi's pool, seeing Jake and Ash's new house for the first time, being pregnant in Vegas heat, and the nap time chat about girls and kissing I overheard between Isaac and Tanner.  Ask me later;)  soooo cute;)  Thanks for coming down for us, Rob, Sarah and Jen.  THanks for the boat Jake and Ash and for cheering on my kids.  Thanks for making it all happen Mimi and Popop!  We wish it could happen more often;(

xoxo
