Fun with Family

It was so fun to have Ben and Jamie and their two cute little boys come and visit us last month. They came up May 20-24th and we had such a fun time having them here! I wish we could have them here every weekend it was so much fun! We will definitely be going to visit them down in Arizona once we get this baby here and get settled into our new crazy lives! I wish we had more family that lived closer! Here are some of the fun things we did while they were here: went out to eat at Famous Dave's and Red Lobster, which was really awesome because we all got a great deal at Red Lobster with our coupons and gift cards which made it so we could go out to eat twice! We also went to Bass Pro Shop, which Isaiah never gets sick of doing. :) On Saturday morning Ben and Casey had a fun time cruising around Lake Mead fishing in Casey's new kayak. Jamie and I enjoyed taking the kids to the park and shopping while the men had their fun. Sunday was church and Ben and Jamie made us an awesome dinner! Then Monday we went to the strip to see the Belagio gardens, the lions at the MGM, a short 10 minute 3D movie at M&M world, ate at the Rainforest Cafe where Zach and Zaya both got free birthday desserts and rode the Monorail all around! It was so much fun and I am surprised at how well all of the boys did without getting their naps in. We wished that Casey could have come with us but he had to work. We had so much fun having them here and can't wait to see them again. (Hopefully soon.)

They liked getting out of the hot sun inside the carriage.

Zaya loved the glass balloons (or badoons as he calls them).

I loved this painting made with flowers. It reminds me so much of the interpretive art that I  did in some of my floral classes in collage! If I could have a dream job it would probably be doing something like this!

I just love the different textures and  colors from the variety of flowers they used!

More Fun!

Zaya thought this alligator was pretty cool. It would move around and chomp its mouth open and closed.

Zaya couldn't believe it was actually Elmo!
