Elle's Blessing Day

We blessed Elle on July 5th. Everything worked out really well considering how stressful it was to get ready for!! Jon gave an awesome blessing and we had tons of family and friends there to support us! Thanks to everyone for coming and for helping out with food and everything!!!

Elle would NOT smile... I'll have to put her back in her dress and try again sometime!!

Our happy little family!
We love having Elle as a part of our family!! She is such a good baby, we're very spoiled!

4th of July

Elle and McKaylee giving cousin kisses!!

Friday we went over to Bear Lake. Mostly just for the drive.. my brothers and dad went for a motorcycle ride so we followed them over there and had lunch at LeBeau's and then came back!

Saturday I ran around all day getting ready for Elle's blessing. We also went to the parade in Hyrum and the Cruise-In!! We love 4th of July weekend :)

Our little patriotic family! Happy Independence Day!!!

LAS VEGAS BABY!!!!

Meeting Great Grandma JoAnne!!

Jon's grandma came to visit from California for a couple weeks!

It was so good to see her again!

After grandma's visit, we headed to Las Vegas with Jon's whole family. She rode down with us and then Jon's aunt took Grandma back to California with her.

We started things off right with dinner at Cheescake Factory! mmm

Our first night in Vegas we stayed at Treasure Island. This is the king size bed (awesome!) with little elle hiding in the middle of it!

The next day we could check into the house we rented... it was SO awesome. There were enough rooms and bathrooms for each little family to have their own space, a pool with a waterfall and shallow end for the kids, sunken bar you could swim up to with a grill, fridge etc, basketball court, batting cage, fire pit, ping pong, pool table, and pretty much anything else you could ever want!!!

To the left you can see the sunken bar you could swim right up to. There's the waterfall we jumped off, pictures below. And at the back of the yard is the basketball court and batting cages. Pretty freakin' sweet set up!! We had a blast there!

Elle's first time swimming!! She LOVED it! She loves bath time so I figured she would like the pool! This little raft was just her size!!

Twins! Mr. Tiki Man and Jon

These guys were all around the yard!

Our little family enjoying the pool!

Back flip like nobody's business!

Jon has great form doesn't he?

We had the most amazing WEEK in Vegas! It was SO hot and we loved every minute of it! Being in the pool all day you didn't even notice the heat. We went down to the strip a couple nights and Jon did some gambling (he won $30 woooow!) But mostly we just hung out in the pool (which was so nice to have to ourselves!) and at a lot of food!! Thanks Jack and Pam for everything - we couldn't have had more fun!!!
