Snowing in Vegas

We were luckly today and was able to get snow here in Vegas today. The boys wanted to go out and play in the snow when they found out that it was snowing. So we were able to find a place up in Summerlin where the snow was sticking and they had alot of fun playing in the snow.

We found an empty lot and was able to make a snowman with the boys.

We had alot of fun while playing in the snow.

Thanksgiving and the Beach

We had a great Thanksgiving this year. I got to go up and have Thanksgiving with my family in California. We drove up to Bakersfield on Thanksgiving and had one dinner with my family that lives there and my grandparents.

This is Trent and Jake with one of their cousins in Bakersfield, Nevin Gillis

The next day we drove up to Fresno and had another Thanksgiving dinner with my family in Fresno and Madera, my niece Taylor and my grandparents again. It was great. I hadn't seen alot of them since last year. And I hadn't seen Taylor for a year now. I really need to see her more often.

Then afterwards we drove back to Bakersfield and spent the night and then the next day we drove down to Ventura and visited with Eric's Grammy and took the boys to the beach.

This was actually the first time that we had ever taken the boys to the beach. I think that is interesting that after 9 years of having the boys we had never taken them to the beach.

But they enjoyed it and forgot that it was the winter and decided to play in the ocean and get all wet.

Halloween and the Dentist.

Well this post has been long time coming. I know that I needed to post this after Halloween put I just now put I just now downloaded the pictures from Halloween. The boys really had a great time. We did Trunk or Treat on the 25th of October for our ward here in Las Vegas. Jake actually got brave this year and went into the spook house that they had set up at the church. Trent chickened out again. But they had alot of fun playing with their friends and then of course going around and Trunk or Treating.

We decorated the back of the van and handed out candy to everyone. I know that the picture really doesn't do it well. But this is what it looked like. Jake went as a Clone Trooper from Star Wars and Trent went as Ironman.

This is Jake playing around in the church. Eric took these pictures and I thought that they were great so I wanted to share them with everyone.

Then for school our boys dressed up as Cowboys for Nevada Day. The school celebrates Nevada Day instead of doing Halloween parties. They get a lunch supplied for them and do Nevada Day activities. Trent was so excited to finally get to dress up as a Cowboy. And both of the boys wanted to dress like thier Uncle Rick who is a Cowboy. I think they would make him proud.

This is Trent wearing his hat over his eyes he wanted to wear his hat that way for the picture.

Now onto the Dentist. My mouth started hurting on the 25th of October and the pain just got so bad that I needed to go to the dentist. I found a great dentist that is in our ward. They call him Dr. Mike. I ended up needing to have 2 root canals done and some deep cleaning of my teeth. I still have to go back to get the rest of the 2nd root canal done next week but my teeth are clean and I am feeling much better now.

The boys also went to the dentist. Trent got his teeth cleaned and didn't have any cavities. I was very proud of him.

Jake on the other had ended up having on cavitiy but he got it filled today and did a great job at the dentist. I thought that he would have had a hard time when they went to numb his mouth. But he was very big boy about the whole thing.

And Eric will be going to the dentist tomorrow. So we are just getting everything taken care of before the year is up. But it is a great blessing to have such great people that go to our church and being able to find a good dentist that will take care of you.

That time a year again

I can't believe that it is already fall. We were going to go to the pumpkin patch and apple orchard today and found out that they close at noon so we went to the Bellagio Conservatory. We wanted to see the fall setup that they did. It was gorgeous and the boys had lots of fun. We also took some pics of the boys there.

This is a pic of the boys and a giant pumpkin that was on display there.

This is a arch and walkway that you can walk through and look up and see pumpkins. And then there is a pic of the boys looking up at the pumpkins.

These are pictures of us with the boys in front of an ent that was on display there too.

We really had alot of fun and took lots of pics. I recommend that you go and see this if you come to Vegas or if you live here.

11 Years of Wedded Bliss

This has been an up and coming post. Eric and I have been married for 11 years back on Sept 26th. I can't believe that it has been that long ago already. But to tell you alittle bit about how we started. We actually met on AOL Im. Eric found me in the profile section and instant messaged me to see if I was someone else I answered back no and from there we just started talking back and forth on instant messaging. We would email each other on a daily basis. After getting to know each other alittle bit more we moved on to talking to each other on the phone for hours on in. Eric decided for his Spring Break from College that he would come up and met me. We had not met yet because Eric lived in Ventura, CA and I lived in Fresno, CA which is about 4 hours apart. But he rented a car and drove up to Fresno and met me and we haven't been apart since. We finally met each other in March of 97, by May of 97 we were engaged and by Sept of 97 we were married in the Los Angeles Temple. It was such a special day. I got my endowments taken out on that same day and having my mom, my grandparents and my Aunt Laurie and Uncle Mike there for it was such an experience. Eric told me that his heart dropped into his stomach when he finally saw me in my wedding dress. We had a Ring Ceremony at the Ventura Stake Center that night for those that were not able to attend the sealing at the temple. And a special treat that I got was that my Big Brother Rick sang our first dance song. Which was Me and You by Kenny Chesney. Eric's brother Chris played the guitar and Doug McCoullough played the piano. It was great and is a great memory that we have.

For our honeymoon we spent 5 days at Disneyland. On the 5th day we also went to Universal Studios. It was fun and was great being able to just spend time with each other as husband and wife.

And now today we have 2 great sons who keep us on our toes.
