Hmm treats!


It takes everyone's help to make rice crispy treats!
 Two happy kiddos!


Winter time fun!

 
 When it's too cold to play outside we have to get a little creative!
 
 

Lazy Dog!


I don't think any sleeping position for Sabin surprises me these days!  The girl loves to sleep!

Bryson's dentist appointment

 
 I kind of really like our pediatric dentist!  Watching movies while they get their teeth cleaned and checked, along with the new character tooth brush they are given, and the choice of toy and sticker on their way out is the added bonus!  It's easy to get Bryson to his appointments and little did I know that while we were at his appointment Kendyl would become their newest patient.  Kendyl kept saying "me turn, me turn" over and over all through his appointment. 

Before I knew it, she was laying on the table!
 
The Dr. noticed how little Kendyl was and made a comment about the length of her legs compared to the full length of the bench.  It shows just how little she is to be begging for a dentist appointment!
At the children's first dentist appointment the assistants always take the extra time to explain what all the instruments are such as the "tickle brush", etc. Just so that the kiddos aren't scared of them.  Well Kendyl pretty much skipped all of that and was laying wide mouthed ready to watch the movie!  Another couple of little girls came in for an appointment and were not having anything to do with the dentist, I heard them trying to use their fun names for the utensils but they were crying and crying.  The assistants were pointing to Kendyl showing the girls that they can lay down but nothing was helping. It made me very grateful for my little Kendyl who is always up for anything, whether it was her dentist appointment or not!

Riley's Farewell

 Riley did a great job speaking at his farewell and before I knew it we were saying goodbye for two years. He is serving in the Halifax, Canada mission! I can't Thank him enough for being the best example for my kiddos!  The kiddos have made it a habit to include him in their little prayers each and every night!

Vegas Baby!


Brady and I got away for a few days without the kiddos to have some fun!  With each pregnancy we have taken a little trip on our own and this counted as our Baby Moon.  We stayed at Aria again and when we asked for an upgrade they really delivered!  I can't remember how high our floor was but I had to pop my ears two times each time we rode the elevator!

We originally did not have plans for the first night in Vegas but we found a two for one deal through Southwest on our flight for Penn & Teller so we jumped on the deal!
Prior to the show starting there were guys playing Jazz music while everyone got seated, Brady and I kept mentioning that the guy playing the Cello looked like Penn.  Sure enough it was, he is one talented guy!
The show was so good, Brady and I couldn't stop talking about different tricks all night! 
The next day was open to do as we chose, so we headed for the Sports Bar for a little sport watching followed by an afternoon of shopping for me!
Brady and I took the short walk to the Bellagio to get a good view of the fountains!
 

That night we had tickets to watch "Love" by Cirque Du Soleil.  It was an OK show for me, Brady really liked it.
Friday was a little more scheduled out.  Brady had been showing interest to do this World Class Driving experience, luckily we scored on an awesome discount and we jumped on the chance! 

 It was a fun experience even for me as a passenger! We originally thought we would only be able to drive three of the five cars but we were able to drive all five!  All the cars followed each other with a lead car and each car had a walkie talkie. We made our way to Red Rock National Park and when the lead car felt that there was clear open road he'd announce to keep up.  It sounds easy to do since everyone was following each other but I soon learned that following each other or not these were fast cars and it gets pretty fun trying to keep up! 
We started off in the Audi R8!

Second was a Lamborghini!






Next was the Mercedes McLaren!




 

 Followed by a Jaguar!





 
 Last was Brady's dream car the Ferrari Italia 458!
 
 

 



 
 


 
 

The car experience was a great way to start the day, but we had plenty still up our sleeves!
We rushed back to the Hotel where Brady changed really fast and quickly left to meet his friend John Gutke for a round of gold at the Red Rock Country Club! 
I on the other hand, was scheduled to be at the Spa from 1-5 PM!  It was heavenly!

Brady and I met back at the room and dressed up for a yummy Buffet we were given for free with our hotel stay.  Then we made our way to the Venetian to watch "Soul 2 Soul" with Faith Hill and Tim McGraw! 
 This was the best performance I have been to, we scored second row seats and they are so awesome!



I don't think we could have planned a better Vegas trip, it was great to have time with just Brady and I!  I love that boy!
