 Your new birthday outfit from Mimi :)

It is now hot here, especially when out for a walk! Our method of cooling down? Stick your head in the sprinkler!!

 Mesquite Days Parade - the most geriatric parade I have ever seen!

 In Las Vegas, waiting to pick Mimi up. Mimi came to celebrate Paislee/Carson's birthdays and Mother's Day :)

 4, 5, 6 Pictures!

 Paislee, you chose Build A Bear for your birthday! Austynn, you got to join in the fun, since you were not able to make one in Eugene on your birthday. Love your choices!

 You girls picked out all the clothes/accessories for each of your animals! 

We stayed the night at the Flamingo motel on the strip. Really liked it and it had a great pool for families! We were close to the Bellagio, so we enjoyed checking out their beautiful inside garden area.

 Pais, you wanted to learn to write your middle name, too! Why not? :) Good work!

You guys love playing in the water, so we got a little white trash pool and filled it up.

 Austynn, love this - "Yay I'm done with my book"

Pais, blow drying your hair for the first time :)

 A train, being pulled my Mitch - Pais, Noah, Carson, Austin, and Faith. Not sure where Austy is?

 Our trip through Utah (Arches National Park), Glenwood Springs, and to Breckenridge has begun! Hot chocolate under the sink :) Lovely scenery we saw! Great time to be together as a family!

 Behind the falls! The water comes right out of the middle of a rock! Then there is another waterfall above that. Kids did awesome hiking all the way up there. It was a surprisingly warm day, too!

 

 4, 5, 6

We arrived in Breckenridge and are all ready to start swimming!

 Happy 7th Birthday, Carson Paul! We must start the morning off with a gift! New goggles and snorkel, as you have been saying you wanted :)

 Birthday dinner - fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and biscuits! Some German Chocolate cake for dessert!

Your new bb/pellet gun from Mimi!

 Happy 7th birthday, love!

 

 

 Uncle Tom, Aunt Colette, Missy, and Kelli and her kids all came up the day before we left. Was so neat to see all of Kelli's kids, as well. Ellie and Carson really had a sweet bond, as he remembers her from when he went to CO with Grandpa and Mimi a fews years back.

 Carson, you went everywhere with Uncle Joel and Aunt Kendra while we were there! Not sure you ever road in our car - think you hopped in their truck every time!

 We stopped back by Glenwood Springs on our way home. The hot springs are in the background.

We made it home!
