Kristin and The kids Visit!

Kristin and I talk very often with RubyClaire, and one day I mentioned that she should come down to visit and rescue me from a bad day....she took me up on it that coming weekend and I was so thrilled! We had so much fun planning things to entertain the kids, and soaked up every second of time together! Ryan and Norm were away to San Francisco for his graduation trip, so the timing was perfect and I was so glad to have company here instead of being alone!

wasted no time getting started to play, Easton was immediately in heaven to have some buddies around!

we took the kids to Bellagio to see the fountains and see the Strip, they were quite amazed at all the big tall building, flashing lights and people EVERYWHERE! We took them to Serendipity afterwards for some Frozen Hot Chocolates that hit the spot!

Pizza and Bowling! This was Easton's favorite night he said, he even got a STRIKE!!! (with the bumpers...)

fun at the Reunion Trails Splash Pad

Splash Pad fun!

The Dahl boys pre-haircuts, still as handsome as ever!

at the movie in the park at the Distict in Green Valley

watching Frozen didn't last long, none of the kids could see from laying on the blankets since lots of people were on lawn chairs. 

We had an early birthday celebration for Easton so all his cousins could share the excitement.

Car Cake!

Sheena invited us to meet her at the Children's Museum, and it was perfect to give the kids a break from the sun. This hurricane machine was a favorite for sure, they LOVED standing in the high winds!

water room...Mason was cooperative, Easton and Dax were a little too busy for a picture!

announcing the babe!

Both of our parents came down for Ryan's graduation weekend, and the night before graduation, we had them all over and gave them a little surprise: another grandbaby!
Norm and Kim had actually found out the night earlier because they were visiting Julie when we called to tell her the news. Haha! They were so excited either way, and it was fun for them to be in on the anticipation of telling my mom and dad and Jeanette.
My parents have a 5x7 framed picture of all their grandkids, and when I get new photos done of Easton I always print off an extra copy for her to update Easton's frame. So I took the opportunity, and decided to just simply print a photo of Easton holding a book titled "Best Big Brother" When she opened the envelope, she was sitting by Kim, and was just oooing and awwing over how cute his little face is. It wasn't until Kim said to her, "Look at the title of the book he's reading..." My mom immediately started screaming with excitement! My dad and Jeanette quickly took the photo to see what was going on, and they were all so excited! Lots of hugs and some tears of joy even. It was a perfect way to start the fun weekend!

Clark and Annie Visit

Like I've said before, we LOVE visitors! Clark and Annie had never been here before, and they came down for a long weekend, and we played hard! It was so much fun, and they little boys had a BLAST with each other. Easton had been counting down the days until they came, and after they left, he would ask daily, for at least a week, when they would be coming back.
We did so many fun things, we took them out to the M Resort to swim in their gorgeous pool, the boys played and played outside when we were home. We took them all down to walk the Strip and go to the M&M Factory. Went to lunch at Panera. Clark and Annie took us out to eat at the best buffet in town, The M. We got a babysitter that night, and it was so much fun to go out with just the four of us! I colored Annie's hair while they were here too. They left early Sunday morning...Mother's Day and Annie's birthday. Poor family had a long drive ahead, but they were able to get home early enough to spend time with family in Ogden for the two occasions.
We are so glad they came, and can't wait to do it again!

post bath time Lukey-boy!

Jack and Easton

Easton and Jack, we were asked multiple times at the pool if they were twins, haha!

Father/Son time on the Strip

Easton all ready to watch the 3D M&M movie and the M&M Factory

Jeanette Visit!

Jeanette came down for a few days to hang out with us, and we had so much fun. She and I were able to go to the temple together, we went shopping, ate yummy food, and just had fun spending time together! I feel so lucky that I have so many friends and family members willing to drive down and see us! Easton and I sure do love our visitors!

Las Vegas Temple, so pretty, and so much fun as sisters!

Easton sure loves his Aunt! We had so much fun at Town Square shopping and playing :)

After Jeanette had left that afternoon, my grandparents had called and said they were in town! So that night we headed up to see them and their friends. They were staying at the Golden Nugget, and Easton loved walking through the crowds long after bedtime!
