Spring Break in Vegas

We have started a tradition of going to my mom and dads in Las Vegas. The kids and I usually leave Robb and go but this year Robb had a trip in Vegas while we were there. We got to see him every night.

Every time we go to visit, my mom finds a great park. This year it was a park with reptiles all over.We go to the Bellagio every time to watch the fountains and see the garden. It is my favorite place.This year we went to Circus Circus one day. The Midway was fun. We watched two shows for free and played games. Each child one two prizes.

We also went to the Silverton Casino and Bass Pro Shop. The have a tankful of fish and Sting rays. We go and watch them be fed. It is fun the kids can ask questions. This year we shot guns at the Bass Pro Shop and then we also got to visit the Mermaid in the tank.But, our favorite thing to do is to just spend time at my mom and dads pool. It was a little cool and windy this year but that didn't stop us. Also, my mom and dad gave the kids water guns for Easter. The kids had fun at the house.

Confrence Trip

Every April we go with Robb's family to Salt Lake and stay in the Marriott by Temple Square. We have fun watching conference, swimming, and eating. This year Robb, the girls, and I got to go to the Sunday morning session.

Brady Birthday and Star Wars Party

Brady got two days of birthday. The first day was his actual birthday and we had a fun family night with cake, dinner, and presents.On Saturday Brady had a Jedi Star Wars party. This is my padowon.For games, we had Jedi training, a Pinata (The Death Star), an asteroid hunt, and pin the saber on Yoda. Then we had cupcakes in the shape of a light saber and Yoda Soda (lime sherbert and sprite). It was a fun party.

Before the party we made all these flower clips for their hair.We went to the beauty school and had makeovers.Abby's friend had a late over and we had dinner. The girls did manicures and pedicures.

New Years

We had a great time for New Years. Robb's sister Stacy came home from her mission in Korea on New Years Eve. We went to the airport then drove to Idaho for a New Years Eve party.

Grace got to celebrate her ninth birthday with cousins.

Stacy took an evening to tell us all about being in Korea. This is here teaching all the kids a game.Robb's dad's sixtieth birthday is coming up so we decided to celebrate it since we were all together.Abby took the opportunity to use her new sewing machine and made him a rice pack for his birthday gift from her.
