Las Vegas

 We drove down to Vegas so we could see Mary's house and spend more time with her because 3 weeks wasn't enough.  After 6 hours of driving Mary being the cool Auntie she is broke out the dry ice and made the kids magical punch.

 Mary has a friend that works at the Mirage and gave us tickets to see the dolphins and tigers.  Jaeden spent the whole time complaining about the heat and Vegas being the hottest place she's ever been too.  I think she forgot we came from Texas. 

 We went to the Children's Museum the next day.  We were there for hours.  It was the best children's museum and we spent hours there.  Plus it was indoors!

 More Mirage pictures.

 This is at the museum.  I lost sight of Dominic and found him in the recording artist room singing some Carly Rae music.  I love this kid!

 After the dolphins Mary took us to this awesome park where they had a little water area and let the kids run wild for a long time cooling off.

Avery and Camden were dancing so awesomely on the stage in their dress-ups, so cute!!

Wicked

 My mom and dad took me to see Wicked in Salt Lake for my birthday with Lori and Jacob too.

I didn't know much about it but I LOVED it.

More and more, I'm on a Roll...

 This is Hazel right after her baby blessing.  She is the cutest thing.  She looks my by brother with a headband on.  I love her.

 Dominic sporting this curious look.  :)  He attached himself to his cousin Casen's boots and hat for a few days.

 We were in Utah for Heber's rodeo days events so this is Avery and Addie at the rodeo.  They became BCF (best cousins forever)

sweating it out at the parade.  They passed out popcycles and water bottles, very nice.

Great Grandma Lois

After the Zoo, we went to Grandma's house to see her.  Since we had all the great grandkids from our family with us, we wanted to get a picture.  I want to be like my grandma when I grow up.  She's amazing, healthy and witty. :)

Fun with Friends

 Tiffany, Heather, Janet Mary and Me

 We went to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate Heather's little girls birthday.  We have a lot of kids between the 4 of us.

 The next day the same crew plus Lori and her kids went to Hogle Zoo to celebrate Camden's 6th birthday. 

Kennecott Copper mine

We have never been to this mine and thought the kids would think it was neat.  Janet and her kids came and since Mandolyn only lives 10 minutes away she brought baby Hazel and joined us.  It was cool to learn about and take home some fools gold. Jaeden however needed a dolphin.

Utah Fun

 Jen Hopkin had us and the Chambers over for lunch one day.  It was so fun to see Janelle and Jen and have all the kids play together for a few hours.

 We went to Deer Creek Lake with my cousins, their kids and the Chambers.  My dad took all the kids out on the boat for tube rides.
