We're Baaaaack!

Okay, so we've been back since Wednesday night.....whatever! We've been excruciatingly busy from the moment we got home! I planned on only showing a couple of pictures on the blog, but that couple turned into...well....this....

We left Thursday afternoon, just the four of us, and headed to Las Vegas, to stay at the Silverton.

June 19th

"No Way! I thought it was Circus Circus we were staying at?!"
Journey with us into Nevada....
We stayed at the Silverton because it is where Bass Pro Shop is located. This was the planned highlight of Rich's trip! We ate, swam and crashed!
This is Reed's after-swim hair style. Fabulous, yes?!

June 20th

Rusten walked right up to the kid quads and hopped on.

He and brother are imagining taking it for a spin...

"Hey bear....look at this...."

"See.....I told you it was cool!"

Rusten and Daddy shooting at the gallery inside Bass Pro.

LOOK OUT! Momma's got a gun! Today was Mimi's birthday, so she picked here to eat for lunch!
Rusten got wild with the stickers!
Daddy went wild....really wild....with the stickers.
Come now through Arizona - it's a short trip....and on to.....
Utah! We're in the state, but we still have around 4-5 hours to go! Here's a glimpse of the beauty. Rich now wants to live in SLC, Utah! (then Arizona, then Vegas.....) Here we are at Fuddrucker's from Mimi's bday dinner in Provo, Utah. Rich said he lost something........ Don't be jealous....that's all I'm gonna say....

June 21st Here's our portion of the fam at the reunion, at Todd and Melonie's house. My parents and brother, my mom's parents, and then our rowdy family!

Such is my life....what can I say.... This is my brother's new girlfriend, the waitress at the Golden Corral. (He was soooo worried this was going to end up on my blog...hee hee....what are sisters for?!)

June 22nd Two years old, and already having to fight off the girls!
7 months old and LOVING the attention from the girls.....uh-oh!

June 23rd

Exhausted.......must sleep......just five more minutes.....

Here they are at another shooting gallery - this time in Cabela's! This was Rich's unexpected highlight of the trip.....we didn't know Utah had a Cabela's! My sweetheart! ....back through Arizona....
.....and into Nevada. We headed straight to Fremont Street so Rusten could see the light show. We had a caricature done of the boys....so cute!

June 24th Here we are at the petting zoo at Bonnie Springs. That horse was HUGE!!
All the boys, hot and sweaty, at the Bonnie Springs train.
Don't ask. Apparently, Rusten lost something too...

June 25th Today we headed down to the strip - to Mandalay Bay.
We went through the aquarium...

I know you can hardly see it, all my pics turned out this bad. But here's a really neat picture of a shark, if you look hard enough. Our [somewhat] happy family!
....and then we headed home!

(Sorry, no California sign....I missed it! Dork!)
