Viva Las Vegas pt. 2

POOL FUN!

This is what we did to keep us from melting in the Las Vegas heat!

Cannon Ball Contests

Enjoying the nice "cool" shade (ha ha ha, it was NOT cool...even in the shade!)

Who actually uses the HOT TUB in Las Vegas?

Alex and Jon

Float Nanny out into the middle...

...then FIRE on her!

She's glad she made it to the other side of the pool.

Probably the closest they'll get to the Statue of Liberty for many years

We got to go to Las Vegas to see my nephew, Braydon, get baptized.

Sunday at the Parks

One Sunday Afternoon

One Bike Ride

Four Different Parks

...a LOT of FUN!

and one hurt Alex (which wasn't so fun)

My boys have always been really interested in planets and stars

(They even did reports on the different planets last summer...for fun)

Alex has his room decorated with planets and stars

I had a Saturday off from teaching my cake classes, so we decided to go to the

Clark Planetarium

Caleb, Leah and Alex telling us the future weather forecast

The 3D Hubble Movie was awesome!

I think we looked awesome too with our big 3D bug eyes

Aunt Robin and Aunt Denise came with us

We're planning to go again another day to watch the Night Vision show.

Rad Kid

Alex's RADkids graduation

Every Friday for one hour Alex has been going to RADkids.

They teach the kids what to do in a bad situation...RUN AWAY!

But, if a person grabs them, they have permission to hurt them until they let go.

They got to practice a "real life" senario with the man in the red suit.

He grabbed Alex and even picked him up.

Alex did great using all of the skills he had learned.

Alex with his certificate of achievement

Way to go, Alex!

Mother's Day

I have been wanting/needing more countertop space and storage space in my kitchen for a long time now. I have been watching sales for these portable islands and finally found one that I like and during a time I had some extra money to buy one! I am so excited for all the extra space. I feel like it's so much space I don't know what to do with it. Both cabinets are practically empty still. Slowly, I'm finding which things to store inside.

I love it!

I considered it an early Mother's Day present from myself!

For Mother's Day I received these beautiful flowers from Jon.

Alex made me a paper flower at school.

Caleb made a M-O-M card that was really colorful and cute.

Leah planted a flower seed at school and had been caring for it. She gave me the plant.

We went to Nephi on Mother's day to celebrate with Jon's mom.

We also got to see Christel and her kids .

Spring Break 2010

My mom and I took the the kids to Trafalga one day

We did mini golf

We also went to the zoo with my friend Rachelle and her boy Drayton
