Las Vegas Trip!

Bryan has a Real Estate Retreat every year in July, and usually Bry will either go by himself or just me and him will go. This time we decided to make it a family trip and see how it goes. I was a little nervous taking two toddlers and a baby to Las Vegas and knowing Bry would be in meetings the majority of the time so I would be on my own with the girls, but it turned out to be soo much fun! And we are planning on doing it that way every year now. We stayed in the Signature Towers which is attached to the MGM Grand. In that part of the Hotel you don't have to walk thru the casino ever if you don't want to. And they have their own pool which is mostly all families that are using it. The pool was way nice and had a nice shallow part for the kids to play in. The other awesome part was the pool was shaded by all the hotels around it, so from 9am to almost one in the afternoon the whole pool is completely shaded. So we went to the pool everyday we were there and I would just relax while the girls played in the water, (Yay!). And we got a suite for 120 bucks a night! Two bedrooms two bathrooms and a full kitchen with all the cooking supplies. My favorite was the huge jetted tub, ( I think I took a bath in it everyday we were there lol). We also like the MGM (not only because the retreat is there), but they have a huge lion habitat there that was awesome! They also have the Rain Forest Cafe there that the girls loved eating at. One of the nights we took a cab and went to the Mandalay Bay to look at the Shark Reef Aquarium, it is the nicest one in North America! It was awesome and the girls absolutely loved that and so did we. Who would've known that Las Vegas is such a fun place for kids and families. You just got to know where to stay, what to avoid and what to see. I did get a lot of weird looks the few times we went thru the casino, like why in the world would they have 3 kids so close together lol (would've loved to see the looks on their faces if my sister was walking in there with her 7 kids lol). And I probably got asked a dozen times if Gracie and Sabi were twins, ha ha. Next year we are planning on taking the girls to see the Lion King show at the Mandalay Bay. Loved this trip, it was so fun and surprisingly relaxing at times.

Three Months Old Already!

Time is going by so fast, can't believe three months has come and gone. Nevaeh is growing so fast and just get cuter (and sweeter) by the second. She is such a happy baby now and smiling all the time. We've got her to almost laugh a few times and she trys to talk to us (so cute). We are thinking we have our first blue eyed child! So excited about that! She's the first grandchild on my side and Bry's side with blue eyes. She also is starting to get a little strawberry in her blonde hair:). We love our little angel!

Cinderella

We took the girls for family night to see the play Cinderella. It was put on by Alpine Community Theater. The girls were so excited, especially Sabi she is her favorite princess. The girls loved dressing up for it.

Ariel

Sabi was so excited to have Ariel at her house:)

Sabi's Three!

Sabrina is our big three year old now!! Can't believe it... Sabi wanted an Ariel Birthday party. We had a blow up water slide and had Ariel make an appearance :). It was a lot of fun and the weather turned out just perfect. All the girls were so funny when Ariel came they were all just in awe lol. When it was time for her to leave some of them followed her out and were asking her all sorts of questions, like where do you live? What color of car do you drive? Too funny and so cute!

Family Pics on the Fourth

4th of July

For the 4th of July we stayed at the Marriot in Provo so we could go early to the parade and go swiming after. We had lots of fun! We got an awesome spot at the parade thanks to my cousin and her family! I was bummed though cause I forgot my camera at my hotel. After swimming we had a yummy barbecue at my parents and did fireworks at night. Some of my favorite things to do for the fourth is family time, barbecue, home made icecream (thanks Mom and Dad), swimming and fireworks. We love the Fourth of July! So glad we live in a beautiful and free country!

Nevaeh's Blessing

Nevaeh's blessing went really well. She did so good during the blessing (which I was thankful for :) ) and Bryan gave her a beautiful blessing. We loved having both our families there supporting us and our friends. Thanks all who came to see our little angel get a name and a blessing, we love you all soo much.

Best Cousins

We would love to have Lydia live next door to us, my girls can't get enough of her. Gracie and Lydia are like two peas in a pod:).

Cascade Springs

We did a fun little hike at Cascade Springs with the Burnett family. It is so beautiful up there and the kids just loved it! Sabrina loves to go exploring in the mountains, she is always far ahead of everyone and just can't wait to see what's around the next corner:).

Burnett Family Reunion

We had Bryan's family reunion over the fourth of July weekend. All of Bryan's brothers and sisters were there, it was so much fun, and so good to see everyone. We felt very fortunate to have all of them here for Nevaeh's blessing. Coming all the way from St. George and the East Coast. There's six grand daughters and one grandson. Poor Jaron needs a buddy! He loves the girls though:).
