Viva Las Vegas

Grandma and Grandpa Cloward invited us to go to Las Vegas with them and we had a great time. And as I type this with the laundry going, and the kids whining....I'm wishing I was still there.

The hotel was great, but the pool was tiny tiney....however the boys didn't care, they still had fun

Grandpa Cloward's got some muscles!

Jackson flying in the air

Not a bad view of the city

Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay

Carson touching a sting ray

This would be my "sugar tooth" child

There definitely weren't any high scores to brag about with this bowling trip :-)

Circus Circus Fun Dome

Father and Sons

So I told Kevin to take LOTS of pictures at the Father and Sons overnighter.

This is the only picture he came home with.......Nice! Thats going to make a great scrapbook page in their photo albums.

Sum Sum Summertime

We invited G&G Cloward and Scott and his boys up to the cabin with us and had a great time. Its amazing how entertaining a camp fire can be to a bunch of boys.
Hi Uncle Scotty!!!

I'm pretty sure Carson made this shot

We stopped off at the Jordanelle look-out on our way home

This is what my backyard looks like on a typical day.....kids kids kids!

Family Pics

I think we have about 5 pictures of us together in our almost 9 years of marriage. Either one of us is taking the picture, or we're just taking pictures of our kids. So this ones a keeper :-)

Now thats a lot of grandkids!

FYI - we haven't gotten the pictures back yet of the entire family...I'll post those when we do

It's a ????

And we are sooooooo excited

The top picture is of his two legs and the bottom picture is him reaching for the stars :-)

Now we are just going to have to be patient until we can meet this little guy.

I can't wait!

Easter

Egg hunt success! I think my kids finally have this egg hunt thing down now. They've learned to find all the eggs first.......then eat the candy. I think Nathan got about five eggs last year because he ate all the candy in each egg before he got another one.
The Cloward grandkids are growing up. We're down to about 1/3 who actually hunt for the eggs. The "older" 2/3 rds hide them now.

I don't know why I made my kids wear these ears. I feel like the mom on the Christmas Story who makes her son put on the bunny PJ's his grandma made for him. How embarrassing!

Jackson turned two this week and got his very own set of drums....what was I thinking???

Eating breakfast with cousin Allison

Strummin

There's nothing better than jammin in your own backyard on a warm spring day.

Grandma and Grandpa put on a pretty good show for my boys.

All ready for the slide....don't fall
