Halloween 2009

We had a fun Halloween! Jess was Buzz Lightyear, Jackson was Commander Fox from Star Wars, and Kaylen was Nemo. The boys had so much fun trick or treating! Jess and Kaylen tried to go into every house and visit. :) We went to the scary Halloween house and Kaylen wanted to go right in, but Jess was scared and had to be carried. With all the snow a few days ago we thought it would be cold and nasty, but it was a nice night. We had so much fun!

Halloween Snow!

Las Vegas

Annie, Austin, Kamie, Kaylen, & Tricia headed to Las Vegas last weekend to have fun and catch a football game. It was perfect weather and we had so much fun. Kaylen wanted to ride on every escalator we saw and threw a fit if he couldn't, but other than that it was great!

Annie, Tricia, Kaylen, & Kamie at Bellagio. It was such a pretty night. The weather was perfect. There were about a million people on the strip and 90% of them looked like total weirdos. :)

Pumpkin Patch

We took the boys to the pumpkin patch in Elisnore. They had such a good time and it was perfect weather. And the big bonus is that we were about the only people there.

Jackson being a good big brother and helping Jess.

In August we picked Annie up at the Las Vegas airport. We shopped, saw Jersey Boys ( love love loved it!), won money (woohoo!), and saw the sharks at Mandalay Bay.
