The Shoe Tree

Out in the middle of no where, between my house and Nicole's there is an amazing tree, the shoe tree. There must have been thousands of shoes on that tree, not including the hundreds that had fallen. Crazy and so cool to see. (Owen is asleep in the car.)

City Pool/Park

Paul took the girls to the city pool a couple of days on our trip. This particular day the babies and I joined them. The pool reminded me of the one on sandlot.

Road Trip

Photobucket
Photobucket
This was our very first road trip since we've had the twins and it went better than expected. We headed to Fernley, NV. (a little town just outside of Reno...an 8 hour drive.) where we visited with Paul's sister, Nicole and family and Nonnie. Our MV was completely full.

We took the girls to feed the ducks and then to cool off at a splash park. The ice cream man rolled passed and Anna pleaded for a treat. Lucky girls.

Barbie Movie

Lucky us, Aunt Jana and cousins, Maylie and Taryn were able to stay with us for a couple of weeks after our reunion. Nothing captures a little girls attention like a barbie movie. Thought they looked so cute.

Saying goodbye

The next morning we went to the pool for awhile, then out to lunch, then we said our goodbyes. Hopefully not for long though, we plan on making a trip up to the PNW end of July.

I was so sad that this one turned out blurry.

The 3rd day was spent at the pool as well...a little at the day spa too.

That evening we had planned on taking a few pics together as a fam, but by the time we got somewhat put together, it was too dark. I was bummed to have to take all these with flash.

Here's my man setting up my tripod. (Such a babe.) We used self-timer for most of these.

Day 2

Photobucket

Photobucket

Day 2 was spent nearly entirely at the pool. We had a pizza party that evening (thanks dad) and then the boys went off to watch the big game and the rest of us hung out and chit chatted until it was dark. This is all who attended. Except Chad, where is chad? And myself, I'm taking the picture. Dave and Rylie didn't make it, but we missed you both.

My parents spoiled all of us kids and got us hotel rooms at the CasaBlanca in Mesquite for 3 nights. These pics are from the first night we were there. The pool was a bit on the chilly side, but oh so much fun to hang out with family.
