Vegas Here We Come!

July 03, 2020

On Saturday June 27 we boarded a plane to go to Las Vegas and see Brian's family

Brian picked us up at the airport and then we met his family on the Strip. We were so excited to finally all be together! Our first stop was taking the kids to M&M World and Hershey's Chocolate World.

So many different colors and flavors of M&Ms and lots of giant chocolate bars!

109 degrees calls for swimming!

This is how I like to summer!

Jaime fighting back. There was quite the water gun fight.

Darin and his family came up to spend the weekend with us while we were there. Due to his MS it's hard for him to be in cooler water so he enjoyed the hot tub and shooting water from there to those in the pool.

The play was fun.

Brian and me

Ahhh, one of the main reasons for the trip. Brian removed Lindsey's wisdom teeth. It was "Take your sister to work day" haha. But really, it was fun to see Brian work. He did a great job at taking care of his niece. He was great at helping her relax and explained what was going on as he took out her wisdom teeth.

It was fun watching Brian work. He did a good job. He got all four of them removed in under an hour. Lindsey was a champ. She handled the pressure in her mouth well. Stayed calm and listened to music while she laid there.

She had some bigguns'!

She's now happily resting on the couch watching a musical. It was the first thing she asked for.

On Sunday we had church in Brian's home. It's the biggest sacrament meeting we've attended since the covid shut down. lol

I loved being with so many of my family.

Ezra and Henry are cute little side kicks. So adorable.

Jaime spent a little time with Makaela. I thought it was such a cute moment to catch. He was sharing with her messages from her teacher she had when attending Jaime's school when she lived in Pasco. This teacher adored Makaela and was sad when they moved.

Henry's my little buddy.

Elise's birthday is July 2 and Darin's is July 7th. We wanted to celebrate them while we were all together.

We made Darin a fruit cake out of watermelon and other fruits so that he could eat something sweet yet healthy.

I love my brothers. I'm so grateful Darin was able to drive up from Pheonix while we were here.

Fooseball tournaments. Christy has game! She beat us all.

We went out for a walk and took a brief stop at the neighborhood park. Darin and Jaime...silly guys.

One afternoon I got some alone time outside at the pool Henry came out and joined me.

The cousins had so much fun together. Here they're working on a play. Talking about their parts. They were laughing when they'd record. Do silly outtakes even.

Brian took Jaime and I on a hike on July 1st.

On July 2nd we went out for more site seeing. Lindsey wanted get our picture at the Fabulous Las Vegas sign. We made sure to check it off her bucket list. :)
