EASTER

SPRING BREAK

Over spring break, Jared, Brande and their family from Idaho got to come to Vegas for a few days.  It was so fun having them stay with us.  You realize how much you've miss being around family when you get to spend time with them.  Thanks for the visit guys, We love you!

GOOFY KIDS

Oh how I love these two.  They are so entertaining and make Joel and I laugh all the time.  Sometimes we wonder where the heck they come from?  Heres some random pics that we enjoy and hope you do too. Ha!

 Crew was trying to dry some paint on a furniture piece I was painting and apparently blew too close. 

 Uh oh, spaghette-o

 Say "Cheese"

 Just hanging out

 Making brownies, yum!

 Being super-heros.  You never know when these will come in handy.

 Best Buddies!

 Crew giving himself "pound its" in the mirror with a swim cap on. Love it!

My new ride

 Sleeping together in the same position, how cute!

Getting ready to rob a candy store, watch out!

GANMA IN VEGAS

We were so lucky to have "Ganma Arizona" come visit us in Vegas for the week.  We had so much fun with her here, besides the cold front that hit us.  But we didn't let that stop us.  We were determined to have some fun, and we did!  Thanks gamma for the fun trip, we love you!

LOVE THIS WEATHER

I love spring time.  Everything's getting green again and the weather is perfect.  Perfect for some out door fun.  The kids and I can't get enough of our "park days" out in the sun.  What more could you ask for?

Ellie was a little "pooped" after this park day and fell asleep on the hard playroom floor.

Poor girl! Ha!

LIFE ON THE RANCH

 My kids are definitely in heaven being outside

 Uncle Jason got a new pony that Ellie was so excited to ride.  She even learned to ride all by herself with the reigns and everything.  Thinking that she had mastered being a cowgirl, she said she wanted to round up some cows in the big arena.  Little did we know how fast this little pony really was, and he took off with El holding on for dear life.  We all just sat there, wide eyed, obviously not being able to catch the fast pony.  Eventually Ellie was catapulted from the saddle and landed on some soft hay (so lucky), missing the water trough by inches.  Ellie was pretty scared, but shook it off and got right back on the saddle.  

That a Girl!

 Could life get any better?

I think not!

FUN IN THE SNOW

After Christmas we decided to head north to let the kids play in some snow and Joel and I wanted to get some snowboarding in.  Joel's parents were willing enough to hang out with the kids, while we got to enjoy the beautiful weather and have a fun day with Jason (Joel's brother) and family.

Unfortunately Crew was not too stoked on walking around in the snow, and apparently his jacket was getting the better of him and Ellie just wanted to board with us, so it was a little rough on the first go round, but by the end of the day we all had a great time.  

Needless to say, we all sleep great that night!
