Mini Vaca to Vegas

The car ride was long and boring...but the kids made the most of it and were, for the most part, pretty good.

The first night we were so hungry and stopped at the first buffet we found. Little did we know it was seafood night and it would be $25 bucks a pop. Oops! Oh well we still had a blast of course.

When we walked down the strip, Shilo took it upon herslef to be our personal photographer...and she is pretty good too.

Granite School District Jr. High Art Show

Shilo did this self portrait, with high contrast shading in her advanced are class, and her teacher asked if she could enter it into the art show. It was really exciting to go to the show and see her work displayed....

Wrestling Season

Chase has begun his wrestling season for 2010. He has done very well... so far he has won about half his matches. I believe it is something like 6-4. I am very proud of him, he has really learned a lot and is very smart with his moves.

Lazy Weekend...

Ricky and I took a small vaca up to the cabin. The kids were at there dad's so it was just going to be us grown ups. How weird is that???? I don't ever remember going to the cabin without kids. So I decided to ask if I could take the little ChanMan. Luckily for us his mom was OK with letting him go on our small adventure. It was kinda nice having a little one around again. I forget how much my kids have grown until I'm the primary caregiver for another small toddler. He was very well behaved and loved spending some "guy time" with Ricky and Grandpa. But of course once the guy time became too boring, because you can only watch so many hours of pre-super bowl game television, he came back to the girls and played everything from, baby dolls...to dress-ups. Haha, I would like to think it will make him a sensitive man. But after he was trying to kiss Ricky on the lips for the 14th time...I thought maybe it wasn't such a good idea. Over all it was a very fun filled weekend, and I'm ready to head back up the mountain for another.
