Vegas BABY!

Image
La Reve Dinner at Maggianos. Down the Strip. How perfect was that. Relaxation. Look how happy he is! Our Kayak The resort by the lake. They had beds you could lay on. How romantic is that. Top of the Stratosphere This is VEGAS! Outside on top. After almost nine years with kids, we have never gone anywhere and left our kids, so we decided it was time. It wasn't because we didn't want to, but because we knew how hard it would be for us to leave 5 kids with someone that wanted to watch five kids. Anyhow, we worked out a deal with some family to both theirs and our advantage. We thought it would be fun to go and do the Vegas thing. We stayed at the Loews resort in Henderson, which is about 20 miles from the strip. It was absolutely beautiful with a lake right next to the resort. So, we of course went shopping in Vegas by ourselves with no kids and how fun is that when you don't have to worry about where your kids are all the time, well at least that is how ...

Strawberry Lake FISHING.

Paezlei brought some friends. I even got to catch a nap. Digging a mud hole. Fun for me. We decided to go fishing up to Strawberry Lake last week and put out our 7 fishing poles, hoping to catch one. We got there around 3:30 and fish until about 8:30. Well, we did everything we were told by frequent fishermen and the verdict was not a bite. We didn't even catch one. The guy next to us caught a 4 lb. fish and few others using the same stuff, but we caught nothing. We are destined to catch nothing. Every year we go, we never get a fish. Well, even if we didn't catch a fish it was a lot of fun to hang out. We went to dinner at Pizza Hut after and then let the kids catch a late swim before bed at our hotel. In the morning, we got some breakfast at Einstein Bagels and then went over to the outlets to hang out and find some good deals. Not a lot, but a perfect day to be outside. Well, maybe better luck next time.

Everyone wanted a turn being thrown down the slide. Lunch. Kylie, Kaden, Paezlei,and Erin Teigyn, Tiernyn, Julie, and Jacob Taeson, Parker, and Carson Teigyn and Erin Now thats a PARTY! The triplets had a Beach Birthday party with their friends to celebrate them turning 5. We basically did a water party with a pool, waterslide, waterball, and water balloons. What more fun could you ask for at 5. They had almost all their friends there and had a total blast. We had a little pizza and breadsticks for lunch and cupcakes for dessert. Thanks to all for the fun birthday presents. They loved every one of them.
