Vegas

Well life is sure flying by and ever changing! Thank you for all your concern over my crash. I am fine, besides a little head trauma. But most of you will probably say my head was never right to start with anyways. ha ha..But on to more fun and important things--VEGAS! We had a blast. We didn't think we should go after all that happened the week before, but made a last minute decision that we needed now more than ever to get away and relax. That and great great friends that talked us into it and let us stay in their gorgeous time-share. Thanks Kim & Dan for being so gracious and sharing precious space with us! And thank you Sarah and Chris for talking us into going up one day early and sharing your awesome cabana with us. We are truly blessed with great people in our lives.
We got there last Thursday at 11:OO am and met up with Sarah,Missy & Chris and Jen & Jeremy at the Excalibur Hotel. They had rented a cabana equipped with big screen TV, couch, fridge, tables, ceiling fan, and towels and pool rafts. It was the life. Besides all the drinking and gambling going on all around us, it was great. Parker loved the rock slide, and we had a fun game of keep away with a torpedo toy they had. That night we hung out in the Hotel and at Pizza and the tiniest little chicken wings we have ever seen. The next morning we cleaned up and headed over with Kim & Dan at their time share, and again hopped right in the pool. The kids all had a blast swimming and eating snacks. Saturday( the real reason for going) Alexia had a competition and did great! Two 1st places and one 3rd. In between dances we played baseball with the boys to keep them entertained, in 100* weather I might add. We loved it. Then we hit Chilies for dinner at 8:00 pm, we were all starving. Brooks, Dan and Jason then hit the strip until about midnight that night, me and Kim said we would wonder what they were going to do, but being that all three are x-bishopric members and in the same ward, we had no need to worry! The next day was Sunday and Mother's day, so the guys made us all a yummy breakfast and it was time to come home. The kids are all sunburned and so tired this week and we keep saying I wish we were back in Vegas!

Sunshine all gone

Yes it is gone, and I am not talking about the weather. Tuesday night I totalled our Toyota Sienna. Our fun crazy life of running from place to place has come to a screeching halt because I have no vehicle to take us any where. Good bye Sienna we will miss you Terribly.

Sunshine!

Yeah! I love warm weather. I am so tired of freezing baseball games! Parker made me go lay on our broken trampoline at 10:00 am and we stayed out there for hours. I even did some yard work. Kyler mowed the lawn and now Parker is at the park with his friends. I LOVE SPRING! We only have two practices tonight and artichokes for dinner, what more could I ask for?

Work, Dance, Baseball, Sleep

This is our life right now.

Kyler's team has won their first 2 games, but better than that he is just happy to be off track.
Parker is his team catcher and doing great! He is the tiniest on his team but the only one that doesn't flinch when the ball comes straight at him. It really makes the game so much more fun to watch. His first game he would just retract the ball at his own speed, but he finally is catching on that he can get them out at home.
Alexia has had two competitions so far and one more this week and then her last one is in Vegas. We can't wait! I am trying to be better at taking pictures but some haven't turned out.
Loving-17 again had a fun girls day out with my friends, now I have to take Alexia. We just felt we had to see it first to make sure it was appropriate (that and we don't mind at all watching cutie Zach 2 times!)

HUNTING FOR EGGS

One of the first years without cousins and grandma and grandpa. We had to do it early so Dad could join in the fun. Grandma&Grandpa are in Florida. I told them it was a free for all, who ever found the most got to keep the most, but of course we evened it out in the end. I told the kids to make it last until our Vegas trip in 3 weeks, I can dream can't I?

SPRING BREAK

(This is at Kyler's D.A.R.E graduation)

(here is the bed that Brooks built)

Spring break is the best. It is a break from all the crazies at school an work. This spring has got to be the most craziest yet. We have temple practices, baseball practices, baseball games, dance practices, and dance preformances. We are so lucky to have this layed back time. Tonight all we have to do is to get a Redbox movie and order pizza.
