august was a while ago... vegas half

we stayed at my moms house another week after we got back from wyoming.  daniel enjoyed sleeping in the crib and playing with all of grandmas toys and especially playing with all his slade cousins.

that weekend all of chris' family came into town and we spent lots of time swimming in the pool at their hotel, playing and having a bbq at my moms house.  chris and jeff and their dad got to play golf one morning.  and that night we went out to dinner kidless to firefly and then to cold stone for ice cream after.

he also loved jumping on the bed at the hotel...

playing with cousins and aunts and uncles

i also wanted to take the opportunity to make a nice present for susan for her birthday so we got the grandkids dressed up and took pics with she and the kids.  we tried getting a group shot but it was way too tough with stubborn kids. haha  but we did get great individual shots

semi matching outfits

on sunday chris family all left and headed back to their homes.  chris and i went to church and then had another bbq with all my siblings at my moms house.  ofcourse we are silly and had to take pictures with all of us... our kids were being so hilarious trying to get them to smile so we decided to take a pic of ourselves acting as our kids...

we did get a few cute shots with all the kids

and some good ones of us....

we did spend one day over at emilys house where she and daniel played like crazy!  and we went over to grandma slades one afternoon and went swimming with amanda and my dad.  it was great to see a bunch of family over there.  

we love coming home and are sad we cant do it more often...but we will take what we can get.
