Vacation sweetness

We had a great Thanksgiving holiday is Las Vegas this year, complete with family Tia and papa Jim, and some great friends, the Gettings... Here is dinner at the Winn and a few of the kids... Happy Turkey day everyone!

 Completely exhausted...;) but so sweet...

Maddie and Ayden watching the water show at the Bellagio

Ayden's first day of school

And then Ayden's first day of Kindergarten!  He was a rockstar and walked in like a pro!

Kinnley's first day of school

We finally took the plunge and put Kinnley back in preschool... Long story about how we pulled both kids out, and if you have about 2 hours feel free to call me and I'll fill you in.  That said, we've had the kids home (when Ayden wasn't at school)  with a nanny for the last year and a half and finally have decided to put them both in a school setting.  This was a big decision (for me) it seems that Ayden, Kinnley and Jeremy are all a whole lot more resilient than Mom... :)  At least I can admit it right?  Anyway, this happened last month but I'm just now getting to posting about it. 

Basketball Saturday

A night swim

We were waiting for the sun to go down so we wouldn't melt while trying to swim. Kinnley had her suit on waiting all through dinner until it was time to go. 

Look who lost their first tooth!

Wedding photos

We were all lucky to travel to Michigan for a family wedding, these two thoroughly enjoyed their first wedding. 

Fishing on Lake Michigan

A little rain never hurt a true fisherman!

First unintentional swim in Lake Michigan

We went to the lake to just walk around, but miss Kinnley wasn't satisfied with that... So in she went! It was only about 65 degrees...

Moving on... to Kindergarten

We cannot believe this kid is going into Kindergarten in the fall!  We love you Ayden!!

New sunglasses

Today is supposed to be 108 degrees, so the kids picked out new sunglasses and posed for a picture.

Dreaming of the powerball...

Building a fort

Happy Birthday Tia!

Happy Birthday to an Amazing sister and Blogger!   Thank you for keeping the rest of the family and friends involved in our life.... even though I'm to lazy to always post!!!  :)  Love you Heather!!!

Ayden's sleepover

One of my favorites earned a sleepover at my apt. this past weekend. He had 2 weeks of great "green" behavior at school so we celebrated with a sleepover and the highlight was *walking* to Starbucks. Silly kid! Excuse the poor lighting on the photo.

The difference 3,000 miles makes

As it snows in the Midwest, this was the kid's Sunday activity.

The snowbirds have left the desert

After a lovely winter, Nana and Papa are heading East. What a wonderful, crazy, loud winter it was. Wishing them safe travels as they head home but take a detour through Florida first. Here are a few silly photos from the other night.

Pool cleaning

An empty pool makes the best playground.
