Fun Weekend!







Thanks to Andrew, Loke, McKayla, and Tyler for a great weekend! We went to Lake Las Vegas on Friday. It is so nice out there! We took a picnic and layed on the grass and listened to a live band while our kids ran and danced around. It was so nice! Saturday, we all went to Mt. Charleston to go camping. It was our first time up there. It's beautiful and reminds me of Utah. It's so much cooler too, which was fabulous considering it's been 107! It was 73 when we got up there and really cold at night. I was kinda in shock that something so cold and beautiful could be so close to Las Vegas. We had a blast and ate yummy dutch oven for dinner and breakfast. What could be better?! Thanks guys!

Vacation!!















So, we were able to go to California a week or so ago and had a blast! After moving, it was much needed. We had lots of fun at the beach, although if you know me at all, you know I didn't get in whatsoever! Hello, we watched Shark Week before we went!! Anyways, Reagan is fearless as always and had so much fun in the water and playing in the sand. (K, I can't get this to format right, so I'm just gonna explain them all here, and the pictures will be clumped together!) We ate lots of good food, including Ruby's Diner, Yum! Nick was able to go deep-sea fishing, which he loves!! We decided not to do any parks because we just did all of them in March and it was just too hot to stand in long lines, especially when Reagan's still to young to beg!! :) We spent an extra day by ourselves and went to Santa Monica Pier. It was our anniversary (6 years), so it was fun to do something different, even though Reag was with us. We played Putt-Putt and I got the only Hole in One, except for when Reagan would cheat and pick up her ball and just put it in. :) We ate fair food, heard great music, saw the famous farris wheel and the E! Booth! We went to the aqaurium there, which Reagan loved. They even let her touch some of the fish and starfish. We had fun at the arcade and kiddie rides, feeding the pigeons, playing in bubbles, seeing the trapeze people, and we even got to see the fortune teller that was on the movie Big, when he got his fortune to grow up! Too cool! Nick and Reag didn't appreciate it, but I thought it was cool. It was a great day!! And last but not least: Breaking Dawn came out while we were there, so me and my sister-in-law, Andrea, and 3 of my cousins, Nicole, Brianna, and Claire all went to a midnight party at Barnes and Noble! I know, gayballs!! We were definatley the oldest ones there and maybe the most sane! We had fun though and I enjoyed reading all the way home! Overall, it was a great trip with great people, but always goes by way too fast!
