The Best Part of Vegas

The highlight of our trip to Sin City was having a quick visit from our California Nelsons who we love. How sweet to have them drive hours to see us for part of a day and sleep on an air mattress in our hotel. Love them!

Vegas, Baby

Vegas isn't my favorite but I did love my spring break there with the family. I loved our fabulous hotel with incredible pools and a great lazy river. I liked seeing the family friendly strip highlights like M&M world, the MGM lions and the Mandalay Bay aquarium. I liked the bits of sunshine we had. I loved driving to Lake Mead and getting our National Park stamps. I liked Hoover Dam and a quick drive into Arizona, just to say we were there. I loved Red Rock Canyon and how jaw dropping beautiful it was on a windy spring day. And I really loved seeing our California family for a quick 20 hour visit.

We celebrated our 14th year of marriage in Las Vegas.

Don't Faint Auntie Becky, But I Am Blogging...

You know when you say to your self, "Self, you need a little break," thinking you will avoid something for a few days and then 5 months later you are still on a break? Thus the silence from me in blog land. Then my lovely extended family reminded me that they read the blog and enjoy seeing pictures of what we are up to so I will begin again.

Thanks for looking forward to ambling with me Auntie Becky!

After Halloween Treats

Every year I hit the 90% off Halloween rack at Target and snap up some cheap costumes to throw in our dress up box. These pictures are so much more to me than silly snapshots because they show me one of the few ways that Wylie and Jacy are similar! When Jacy gets up in the morning he puts on one outfit and he takes that outfit off when he crawls into bed. There are no wardrobe changes! Wylie would wear an outfit all day, wear it to bed and then be happy to wear it again for another day's adventure. Not so Todd (or me for that matter!). Todd and I change all day long. The second Todd knows he is in for the day, PJs go on. He strips clothes off and puts new stuff on all day long. So when it comes to costumes, Wylie chooses one he likes and sticks to it and Todd throws one off in giddy anticipation for what he will look like in the next one.Policeman Wylie and Dr. Todd
