A weekend in Vegas!

In January Josh and I stayed a night in Vegas for our 9th Anniversary. When we got the the Mandalay Bay (where we stayed a night on our honeymoon) they were all out of the room we reserved(a spa suite). So once we got home we filled out a guest survey and told them how we were looking forward to getting the same type room we had , etc....so they sent us a voucher for a free SPA SUITE!!
We were planning on going to Vegas again in May for Josh's family BBQ and decided this is when we would use the free room, we knew the kids would LOVE the view and tub!

Rub a dub dub three cute kids in the tub!!
This was after we went swimming at the Mandalay Beach, which was kinda diappointing because I think there were only about 10 kids there!! We could only swim in the lazy river because all others were for adults or private parties.

Couldn't resist this picture! Cute little Luke enjoying the great view from the room!

Squishy turns 2!!!

When did this cute little face turn into......

This cute little face!! I can't believe my baby is two!!

He was LOVING Blue Clue's at the time of his birthday so we did a Blue's Clue cake.

He thought it was pretty cool to be the center of attention with all of us singing Happy Birthday.
He LOVES to clap after any song is finished being sung. Even in church.....

The Presents!! I thought it was gonna take a LONG time getting through them because he was ripping them tiny piece by piece. He is such an expressive little guy I love watching his face!

We decided he better get a "boy" bike so he didn't have to ride Raylie's old girly one.
Grandma and Grandpa Fowlks, Dan, Chantelle and Haiven came to join us at the party.

A few fun things about this little man:
1. He is ALWAYS on the go!!!
2. He is VERY curious about EVERYTHING and gets into EVERYTHING.
3. He is sweet and loves to give "Tisses" (when he isn't busy teasing everyone).
4. He loves to wrestle with his big brother.
5. Loves his mom and dad and has a hard time when niether of us are not around.

Red Cliffs with friends

The kids and I made a trip to Red Cliffs with some friends. There were a totally of 11 kids there! We hiked to the stream and the kids LOVED it!!

Luke kept trying to jump into the water and I turned my back for a second and he was in the cold water!!! So I had to carry him back because of wet pants and shoes.

We packed a lunch and the kids chowed down between running off and playing. I was lucky to snap this shot of my three kiddos!

*Lukes shirt says, "I am definitely up to something!" This fits him 100%*

Easter 2011

Easter 2011 we started off at the Leeds Easter Egg hunt. The kids had a GREAT time and got a few eggs to take home in there baskets.

The Easter Bunny even made a showing and gave the kids a paddle ball toy.
Luke had all his candy eaten before we even left the park!

We then went to Grandma and Grandpas house for decorating Easter eggs (I don't have any pictures of) and a little egg hunt in their backyard.

This is the kids on Easter Sunday. It was quite chilly outside and Luke wasn't really in the mood for a picture. This is the best I could get, but I figured it shows personality.

The loot from the Easter bunny!

The kids were quite excited about there baskets!

Red Cliffs with family.

We are lucky to live in such a beautiful area! In March Josh and the kids went with Mom, Dad, Daniel, Chantelle and her family for Family Home Evening (I was working that night), to Red Cliffs. They packed foil dinners and had smores!

Luke loves being outside and had a blast playing! Uncle Daniel even had fun "playing" with Luke. Logan and Raylie were off playing and didn't get any photo opps.

He was running from one place to another. Haiven pretty much slept the whole time.

This face I love!!! He found this tree stump and had to cheese it!

A mile in your shoes

This little squishy LOVES shoes! He will wear anyone's shoes he happens to find. This day back in January he picked my work shoes to wear. Not sure what caught his interest outside but he loves to look out the window.

He gets into everything he is not supposed to.
He LOVES to tease Logan and Raylie.

He is really sweet and LOVES to give a "tiss."

Christmas 2010

The cute kiddos the Sunday before Christmas in their new outfits. Lucas is such a silly boy. He wouldn't hold still for two seconds! Raylie LOVES to have her picture taken! We actually got a family picture that morning too!

My three cute kiddos and my boys!

For Christmas we went to Las Vegas to spend time with the Isom Family. Logan Took the opportunity to pose for a picture, it could be our next Christmas card because it is so cute! Raylie, Lilly and Sarah love to play dress-up! Raylie and Lilly are 4 days apart and Sarah was born a few weeks later.

The whole Isom clan was able to be there for Christmas Eve dinner! Jennifer was "lucky" enough to get a skin sandwich from Jeremy and Aaron.

We opened our new jammies at Gary and Melanie's house so they could fall asleep in them on the way back to Grandma Jeannie's house. The jammies were a hit, they loved them!

CHRISTMAS MORNING at Grandma Jeannie's!

Christmas of 2010 was a great one and prob the last Christmas Eve spent somewhere other than home. As the kids get older it is getting harder to spend it else where.
