Girls Trip to Vegas

Malea, Brandee, and I went on a girls trip to Vegas recently. Annie was supposed to come but couldn't last minute :( Wow did we have a blast! It was so nice to get away for a weekend and just be girls instead of mom's. Our weekend consisted of shopping, eating at yummy places, laying out by the pool, laughing a lot, eating more, and laughing even more. I always have a good time with these girlies! Thanks for a fabulous very needed weekend!

Phoenix Trip

Angie and I decided to take a road trip to Phoenix so she could visit her sister and I could visit Katie. Angie took her two boys Jayden and Kason and yep.....I just took Rylee. So much fun!!!!!!

I also got to see Aubree who is 8 months prego. We had a good time catching up and eating yummy food.

It was pretty warm in Phoenix but the water in the pool was still FREEZING! Leave it up to Rylee to get all the way in brrrrr!

Katie and I had so much fun as always there was lots of shopping, eating out, LAUGHING, and just being dorks! Thanks Katie (& Russ) for letting us come visit. Also a big shout out to Angie for letting Ry and I catch a ride. Let me tell you how fun a road trip with Angie is.....my stomache muscles seriously hurt for days after we got home from laughing she is hilarious!! Oh and I can't forget to mention my FABULOUS husband who took two days off of work to watch the other 3 kids oh how I LOVE HIM! Marla and Aleisha you're wonderful too (they watched the kids for a day). Goodness I feel like I've won an award or something. I must have wonderful people in my life!

St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day with friends. (Annie, Amber, Me, Brandee, Malea)

So many cute little girlies!

So many handsome little boys!

Oh so cute and festive!

Just a few things....

Besides climbing on EVERYTHING Lia gets into EVERYTHING these days.

My new niece Marlie. She is SO dang cute!

LOVE her dimples, pig tales, and painted toes!

Just a cute picture of Morgan and his friend Jayden in Pinevalley. (too bad jayden's face is covered by his coat)

Why Thieves???

I learned a lesson recently that I really wish I didn't have to learn. I had downloaded a bunch of pictures onto Nick's laptop because that's what you do right?? The BIG mistake I made was not downloading them onto a disk also. Well Nick had to take his laptop with him while he was working in Las Vegas and yes.......IT GOT STOLEN! Seriously why thieves??? So I have lost all of my pictures from Christmas except the ones I posted and many others that I really wanted to keep and print. It just makes me sick! So the lesson is........ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR PICTURES they are precious!

CHRISTMAS

We went to G&G Slater's house for Christmas Eve. I'm not going to name everyone but here's the grandkids. (missing...Tanek)

Before we went to the party everyone opened their PJ's.

Even Mom and Dad.

I think the kids were happy since they've been asking for these for two years now.

Lia didn't quite get opening presents so Ry helped her out.

Ok Seriously......

Lia kissing Santa Clause......(or uncle Mike shhhh)

Lia feels left out she didn't get a nintendo DS too.

Spencer, Kaleb, and Brooklen of course playing with trains.

Jake, Jaycee, and Kasey playing Rock Band.

Visiting Friends

We took a trip up north to visit our friends Michael and Elle and their kids. We went to the zoo one night to see the lights they have some pretty neat lights. It was fun even though it was FREEZING!!! I had my kids SO bundled up that everyone was making fun of me. I don't think Lia could move if she wanted to.

Natalie, Elle, Michael, Ashton

During the day we did a little shopping and went bowling. We had a blast!

Spencer was a a cute STINKER like always!

Morgan, Lia, Rylee, Natalie. Rylee is so cute with the little ones...she is a big helper!

Thanks for the fun!
