Las Vegas

Last month we took a little trip to Las Vegas to visit Scott's uncle and his family. His uncle was gracious enough to fix a little gap in my tooth and the amazing artist he is, it looks like a real tooth and one would never know there were gaps! Anyway. We decided to make a little trip out of it and take the kids downtown sin city. We had to divert their attention several times, but it was fun going to the M&M store (that was for me), see the water show at the Bellagio, and get gelato. The kids' favorite part was swimming in his aunt and uncles pool. It was a quick. but fun trip!

Fos kept saying he wanted to grow out his hair......really I think he meant he didn't want to sit and get hair all over his body and face while I cut it!

I spy with my little eye a photo bomber!!!

We've never been to Vegas when it's been pool season so it was fun taking advantage of the warm weather. The kids loved jumping off the diving board.............

.....swimming..........

.......and going off the slide!

Quick Vale Trip

We decided last minute to go to Vale over Memorial Day weekend. It was fun getting to do things we sometimes don't get to do when there are so many of us there. It's a little easier to round up 6 guns instead of 26 or 3 horses instead of 13......! We left after Scott got off work Friday night and came home Monday afternoon. It was nice having Monday off so we could stay for all of church and hang out for a nice Sunday afternoon. Saturday we went out shooting prairie dogs then road horses that evening. We had lots of fun and the kids, of course, did too. They got to ride the little kid quad, horses and even learn to shoot guns! 

Cal and Foster.....they are 9 months apart (Fos is older) but Cal is his size. But that's not hard to do since Fos is still pretty little!

Nate just wanted down.......did not matter if he was sitting in dirt. He was happy as can be!

Little cowboy Fos

Sister, Rachel, showing us how it was done!

Molly and Bella would ride around laughing so hard. It was pretty stinkin' cute!

Scott was sharp shooter of the day. I think he was 10 for 10. He was sitting ready when someone else would shoot and miss, he would nail the prairie dog. They didn't have a chance with a gun in his hands!!! 

Fos learning how it's done

Bella has it down......scope and all!

Kids on a fence.....priceless picture!

These girls make it a point to match clothes. Thank goodness it's cute at this age!

The next rodeo princesses.

Foster and Emmy

As you can see.......real cowgirls wear flip flops!

Nate loved riding the horses.

Elvis, the horse, was so kid friendly. Some how he knew when an adult was on him. Scott tried to lead him out to the road, but Elvis would get out of the barn and turn right back around. I was laughing pretty hard. It's true horses can sense their riders feelings!!!

Twins again!

Captain America jumping in to save the day!!!!

Dallie was sweet enough to let Molly and Bella do her hair and makeup too! They are getting better for sure!!!!
