Las Vegas Airplanes and Chocolate

We spent the last weekend in Las Vegas and saw some pretty cool things, and learn some very important things.

#1 Cool Thing

Nellis Air Base hosted an air show that Parker and Quinntin got to go to. They saw all kinds of new and old planes. Parker was a trooper and didn't even get burned.

#2 Cool Thing

The M&M World shop on the strip was 4 floors of everything chocolate and fun toys in the shapes of the M&M Characters. The kids liked the free 10 minute 3D movie as well as the wall of M&M's in every color possible.

#1 Thing We learned

It is possible to swim out side in Vegas in Novemeber but not for very long especially with a 2 month old, a 2 year old and a 4 year old.

#2 Thing We Learned

The strip is not easy to navigate with two strollers and you do get a lot of looks carting around 3 kids in Vegas.

#3 Thing We Learned

It takes twice as long to get around a casino when you are trying to avoid the slots (the kids wanted to "play") and trying to keep an eye on every child.

All in all it was a lot of fun and we are now home freezing!

Happy Halloween

The last two weeks of october were a blast! We got to go up to SLC and visit the witches at Gardener Village. We played and ate and shopped, the kids especially liked the witch hula-hooping and the witches flying in the air. We seriously used up all their energy they even cuddled up to a witch to take a nap.


The night before Halloween the elementary held a carnival where the kids danced, mixed up vials of sweet treats and even tossed a few rats for a prize. We then went home carved and hammered pumpkins, and ate white ghost cookies to finish off the night.

On Halloween night we spent the evening at the Trunk-or-Treat at thte church and eventhough it was really windy we made a killing in candy!



Parker was the only on to actually go trick-or-treating around the block that night. Kora met a fog machine at her second house and came right home.

Thanks to Nana for our adorable costumes, we definately turned heads, especially our little "stinker" in her skunk costume.
