We're Back...

...to reality.  We got back from our vacation yesterday.  We had a wonderful time in St. George and Las Vegas.  I took TONS of pictures so I'll be posting all week about our trip.

We left last Sunday and stayed with Aaron, Jaquelyn, and their 3 beautiful girls until Tuesday morning.  I love how our kids get along so well.  Honestly, it was wonderful.  Braden says Emma is his best friend and his cousin.  On Monday we went for a bike ride down to a water park with all of the kids.  We looked like the circus because both Aaron and Andy had bike trailers with the 4 older kids and Jaquelyn and I had a bike seat on the back of our bikes carrying Ella and Sara.  It took us an hour just to get all the kids and bikes ready but I think it was worth the effort because the kids had a lot of fun and the weather was beautiful.  

Jaquelyn bought the kids "silly string" to play with in the backyard.  Braden called them "Spider-man's webs" so they had fun running around shooting webs.  Braden even got Jaquelyn to play 'Rhino Man' and directed her on exactly how to jump and stomp her feet!  Emma, of course, was Spider-girl.




On Monday night we got a babysitter and went to dinner without kids.  It was great!  When we got home Sara and Ella were awake and full of energy.  It was almost 10pm but the girls were so happy playing together we had to let them stay up for a little bit.  That night they both "officially" started to walk.  Aren't they cute?
