Cleaning out some of my Cell Phone pictures!

Braxton has done very well in school this year and he received 4 different awards at their first ceremony.  He also did a Fun run for the school to earn money and he did 28 laps.  He did really well and was very proud of himself!  Braxton is getting so much older and is such a smart kid!  We are lucky to have such a great kid in our family!  

 Dylan has been such a fun little guy!  We were at the park one day and he got a hold Corbin sandwich he really enjoyed it!  This little guys teeth have come in so much earlier then the my other boys so he has enjoyed real food much earlier.  He is super cute and we love him so much!

 Corbin is such a great big brother!  He is so sweet with Dylan, I am so glad they get along so well.  Corbin is such a character he is always making me laugh  he loves to dress up and act things out!   He has the cutesiest smile how can you resist that cute little cowboy! 

 We went and checked out the M&M factory and the Botanical Cactus Garden.  The boys really enjoyed it and loved seeing the Cactus's.  I think they like the candy the most.  It has been fun seeing  the different things Las Vegas has to offer! 

 We have also been to the Springs preserve multiple times and they have a lot of different activities  for the kids to do.  They love going, they got to crack open their own Geodes and they thought that was awesome!  They also have a simulation of what it would be like to have a flash flood.  The boys thought it was really neat they wanted to do it multiple times. 

 The boys had a day off of school so Alexis and I took the boys to the M & M factory and we went and checked out the Bellagio's Gardens.  The boys really liked it but people were looking at us like we were freaks and kinda crazy!  I have never had anyone stare at us so much people were amazed that we had so many kids between Alexis and me there were 7 kiddos.  They all did really well and behaved well.  

 My boys are so cute I love their cute smiling faces.  I don't know what I would do with out my precious little boys!  Sometimes they drive me crazy but they are all really good boys!  We love them all so much! 

Red Rock

We have really enjoyed living in Las Vegas and one of our favorite things has been to go hiking at Red Rock.  It is a national park and it is just up the road from us.  There are multiple hikes you can go on and the boys favorite part is hiking on the boulders.  The love it!  I have to admit I love it too! 

 The weather has been so great out here we love it! It is nice to go hiking in short sleeve shirts in February!  The boys are getting to be great climbers.  I have to say though going hiking with Kevin and Kirk was interesting.  They both are very paranoid any time the boys got even 3 ft away from the edge they started freaking out get back!   Corbin came up to me and said mom I want to hold your hand! I just had to to laugh!   We still had a great time! 

California Trip

We decided we wanted to go to Lego land over Thanksgiving so we started planning a trip.  Then we thought hey we should ask the Childs if they want to go to and they said they would be interested.  Then I did not really think there was much chance of the Hoggards coming but we asked them if they wanted to meet us in California to go to Lego Land.  I was shocked they were willing to make the long drive to come hang out with us but I was so excited.  The Hoggards and the Childs are childhood friends so they already knew each other.  When we moved to Las Vegas they told us they had some friends here but I did not think there was any chance we would meet them.  Well the first Sunday we were here I started to talk to Alexis and we found out that they were the Hoggards friends.  It is such a small world sometimes!  We have become really good friends with the Childs and  I am so grateful for them! 

 We went to Old Town San Diego and while we were there we checked out the Sheriff's Museum and it was pretty fun!  They locked us in jail, let the boys ride on motorcycles and get in their helicopter.   It was really fun and the best part it was free.

 After Old Town we went down to the beach just to check it out.  The weather was not that great and we did not plan on getting in but that did not slow down the kiddos!  They all ended up soaked and running in the water in their jeans!  They had a blast with it though!

 Look at all these cute hunky boys!

 We went to Lego Land the next day because it was raining the day we originally planned to go.  The kids loved it!  They had so much fun playing with their friends going on the roller coasters and checking out all the amazing things made out of Legos.

Marc Hoggard, Ben Childs, Jacob Childs, Sam Hoggard, Corbin and Braxton.  It was so fun to see all these boys play together they had a blast together. 

We rented a house and we all stayed there together.  It was so much fun to just be able to hang out together.  We also did Thanksgiving dinner the Day we got there it turned out pretty good there was not enough seating for everyone so we used the ping pong table as a dinning room table it worked great.   The best part of the trip was hanging out with old and new friends and just being able to sit and talk and relax.  The kids had a great time and so did we!  Thanks everyone for coming I am so glad you could make it we all had a blast.
