While my sister Missy & her family were here last week her baby turned 1 and we had a little celebration at my parents.  Ethan & Uncle EricWe went crazy on New Years and played a few mean rounds of Elefun & had some yummy desserts!!!I can't think of a better way to start 2010 than with some good chocolate cake!! The boys agreed and took full advantage of cake for breakfast, especially Ethan!!

The Vegas 2009

The day after Christmas we loaded up the boys and my dad & headed to Vegas!!!  The boys were so excited & we were meeting Missy & her family there before they came to spend a week in the desert with us. We took the boys to Margaritaville the first night & they got balloon hats from a clown on stilts, huge hit!!  We then walked to see the fountains, played some video games & called it a night. Here the boys are waiting patiently for Miss & her family to arrive.  Mason wanted to take a picture by the X show billboard, couldn't figure that one out!!! Ty promptly took charge of pushing Drew and we had another fun night of dinner, walking around & the fountains.  The day was spent at Circus which hopefully will be my last there for a long time, however the boys loved every minute which is the important part!!The last morning my early birds were up so I took them on the monorail to MGM.  We trekked the WHOLE way through the casino (passing by a guy 'sleeping' on three chairs by the slot machines) to go see the tigers....and they open at 11, unfortunately for us it was only 9am!!!  They were troopers & we had a great morning together before heading back to Palm Springs.

Christmas & fish.

On Christmas Eve the boys sprinkled reindeer food out so they knew where to find us & Julie & I took the boys to church.  After that we all had a great night hanging out at Niko & Kerri's house with good people & amazing food!Christmas morning came & santa brought scooters & lots of books.  Mason  didn't really care about opeing gifts & Luke would open one & then try to keep them all in his stocking by him at all times, very anal & very Lukey. We had brunch at my parents and then got to do some quality Christmas day fishing.

Ty's Basketball Party

For Ty's 7th birthday party he requested a 'basketball party with no one under 6'.  So that's what we did.  The boys (and one girl) all had so much fun playing outside & I even attempted to make basketball cupcakes.  Ty & PeytonUno is a favorite these days among the boys.Gordy, Ty & Robb
Vern & me, we finally got someone else to take the picture, so I didn't have to use my long arms & get another face close up of us! Thanks to everyone who came & made it a great party.
