Vegas Trip

So I finally found and charged my camera and here are some pictures of our trip to Las Vegas.

Us at the top of the Stratosphere

The ride that you couldn't enough pay me money to go on that Andrew paid money to
go on

Andrew infront of the Belagio while we were waiting for the water show to start

And here are a few pictures that I took of the kids today...

The kids with my grandparents. Of course the one picture that Parker is smiling in, Makenna is looking away so you can't see her face. I love my grandparents! They are always so good to me and so, so good to my kids! Parker can't get enough of grandma Tate!





Makenna was being such a ham tonight at my dad's house! I just had to snap some pics because she was being so stinkin' adorable! My kids are so cute I can hardly stand it! Oh and Parker can say his ABC's and recognize his letters! My little smarty pants!

Pickle boy

Parker LOVES pickles! He will eat 4 or 5 in one sitting! Andrew and I joke that he is our little vegetarian because he loves almost all veggies and we have a hard time getting him to eat any meat.

Just a few...

recent pictures of Andrew and our baby girl. She sure does love her daddy! The other afternoon Andrew came home from school and when Makenna saw him she went nuts. Her face lit up and she literally started screaming with delight! Of course Andrew couldn't stop smiling. It was so sweet to watch! One of those moments that melts your heart.


Just an explanation that these pictures aren't of when Andrew came home from school. Andrew just likes to balance Makenna on his hand A LOT! I'm not sure if he's training her for some kind of future as a tight rope walker or what? No he's never dropped her and yes it still does scare me.

Apparently I'm color challenged...

because I have taken a thorough beating from all of my friends and family on the naming the colors quiz.(: I will be studying Parker's crayons for a while before I take that quiz again! Andrew and I went to Vegas this last weekend for our anniversary getaway. We decided that it's not a really fun place for exhuasted, mormon parents to go for obvious reasons. We also decided that we aren't going to anymore timeshare presentations. We usually go to one on trips because you can get a lot of free stuff. This trip (after 4 hours) we realized that the wasted time just isn't worth the freebies. Andrew went on a crazy scary ride at the top of the Stratosphere that I would never go on and we got to see some pretty cool water shows in front of the Belagio and that was about it. Is was nice to sleep in and eat warm food, though. I am so incredibley grateful to my mother in law, stepmother, and Jamie for watching the kids so that we could get away. The camera is dead, so I will try to load the pictures tomorrow but it's much too late for me tonight.

How many can you name?

This was harder than I thought, but fun! (Thanks Tilleea!)

6 Years Together

This last Sunday Andrew and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary. As I looked through our wedding pictures I kept thinking, "we look so young!" It's hard to believe all the changes that have gone on in our family the last six years. We have been so blessed! Of course the most wonderful blessings we have been given are our precious children. I am so thankful for my little family! It sounds so cliche, but Andrew is truly my best friend. I couldn't ask for a better companion or a better father to our children. I love him and I'm so glad that we have each other forever!
