Floyd lamb park

A couple of months ago some of the kids and I went to this park that is just up the road from us. It's a cute place with lots of land, a pond and a divorce camp. Yes, a divorce camp.  Back in the day Nevada was one of the only places you could get divorced, so people would come and stay for six weeks, become Nevada citizens, get a divorce and then leave. Isn't Las Vegas history great? The park is fun though, lots of space to run around. Lots of aggressive ducks and geese to feed. Enjoy these pictures!

Field trip

Since I only have photos from my phone right now, these events may be out of order. Tamra and I took the kids to a local plant nursery to look around.  They had birds, fish and turtles. The kids loved it. I liked looking at all the options I have for planting in my yard. The only plant we ended up buying that day was a Venus fly trap! It eventually died because we didn't have any bugs to feed it. It kind if creeped me out anyway. Andrew looked so cute with his Sun hat on that I had to share some pictures of him also.

We are still here!

Happy Father's day! I just wanted to let you know why I haven't posted in so long.  Sadly, our computer died and we have been trying to fix it and retrieve all of our photos.  We hope to have it back soon!  I am determined to one day catch up on my posts and let you know what we are up to. In the meantime I am going to try to post from my phone.

Parks, Parks, everywhere.

We are still getting used to living in Las Vegas.  There are some things we love about it and some things we don't.  Just like anywhere that we have ever lived.  The Weather has been incredible.  Probably because we moved here in November and completely missed all the snow in Utah. I am not a snow person, I don't like sledding, skiing, or driving in the snow.  But, I tolerated it in Utah, because I loved lots of other things about it.  And also I had no choice.  So Vegas is good for me. I love all of the parks and splashpads that are available.  There are too many to mention just minutes from the house. These pictures were taken at a park down the street.  This park is also one of the places I did my early morning bootcamp,so now it doesnt look as fun as it used to. But the kids still like it. These pictures were taken in March, thats why they have sweaters on. 






A whole lot of cuteness

These are really outdated, but I just had to include them because our little "Boo" is so cute!  She makes everyone smile because she is always smiling. I am so excited that she still has those beautiful blue eyes.  Most of the kids eyes have turned green like mine, but hers are blue, just like her dad's.  She also has those long Sorensen eye lashes.  We just took her into her 9 month appointment, she weighed 22 lbs and was 29 inches long.  She is the shortest of my little ones, and the chunkiest.  She is crawling like crazy and pulling herself up onto the furniture.  And she is finally a great sleeper, sleeping 12  hours at night!! 







Four is a crowd

When it comes to sleeping around here, you never know  who will be where.  In our house we have a crib, a twin bed, twin bunk beds, 2 full beds, a queen, and a king size bed.  Sounds like enough beds for everyone, right?  It is!  But the kids like to sleep together, and with us.   We cuddle with them while we can because we know someday they won't want to anymore.  The girls and the cat decided to cuddle in these pictures.  Don't they look comfy?  The cat always sleeps with Ellie, no matter where she is.  As long as everyone gets some sleep, we are happy.
