Vegas Cont

Date September 28th

This was a usual quick trip to Vegas.
But luckily we got to stay longer than others!
Mom and Brad hit the road to drive back to Idaho at 6am.
Dad and Anita stuck around til 10am and then made the same 9 hr trek!

We promised the kids we would take them to the arcade at the hotel
and they definitely didn't let us forget!


After they each blew through their $10 that Papa Nolie gave them,
we packed up and headed over to the Gravens!

This little cutie hung out while we packed up!


Waiting for valet...
you think they're worn out from the long hotel/casino walk?!


The kids immediately ran circles around the condo again!
They get SO hyper when they see Kyrrigan! lol
Finally Kyrrigan had to take a nap.
So my kids went swimming while the big boys napped!







We came back in to this peaceful scene!



Finally it was our turn to hit the road back home too.
It's always a sad event to leave our family!
The kids moan and groan for at least 30 mins into the drive!

But luckily this time they had electronics and candy to entertain them!
They both won huge candy necklaces from the arcade
and hung them on the hooks in the car.
Luckily for them they dangled right in front of their mouths.
I had to laugh when I saw them nibbling away. 


At one point Anden stopped using his hands to help guide the candy,
Instead he had both hands focused on the iPad 
and would just lean his head over and eat his dangling candy!

Sheesh kids!!
When I was your age we didn't have electronics or candy
let alone power vehicles!
We had to walk uphill both ways in the snow to visit our family!! ;)

And Another Vegas Trip

Date: September 26-28th

On Friday afternoon we loaded up and drove to Las Vegas.
Lyndsay, Aaron and Kyrrigan decided to get
sealed together as a family for time & all eternity
in the Las Vegas Temple!
And we wouldn't have missed it!!

Hitting the road!!
Photo op to document Laiklyn's first road trip!
(ok so maybe we actually got around to taking pics at a pit stop in Kingman)



Redo...after Anden and Taylee smashed me and Laiklyn!


When we arrived in Vegas
we stopped off at Lyndsay's place first
to let the kids run laps around the condo.
Literally.
Then we headed over to check into the hotel
where Papa Nolie was anxiously waiting for us!



Saturday morning we got all prettied up and met over at the Temple.
Taylee was devastated when she realized Kyrrigan got to go inside and she couldn't! :(
So Ryan entertained the kiddos outside until we were done.

I had never attended a family sealing before
but I had heard they were pretty precious.
Well this one topped any expectation I might have had.
What an incredibly beautiful event.

There is a cute garden atrium that we all met in after the ceremony.
Anden and Taylee were ecstatic to be reunited with Kyrrigan!

















 




Then we ventured outside to take more pics!





 



The whole crew!
I love my family!!


And it wouldn't be a normal day with a camera if Taylee didn't start modeling! lol




After the Temple we headed over to Lyndsay's friend Amber's home for a luncheon.
Which meant it wasn't long after before the kids were in the pool!







Eventually we headed back to Lyndsay's place and chilled the rest of the day





The kids played nonstop!
They finally slowed down enough to siit and watch some cartoons!




Later that night we said our good byes
and met Papa Nolie and Anita for dinner before crashing back at the hotel!


Such a great day!
