The final vacation post...

I know it took awhile to get them all on, but wading through all those pictures takes time! These first shots are of my step sister Tavan's little boy. He was 7 weeks old at the time and is just a doll. Lainey ADORED him. She had to remember to be "soft" with little Brody.

It was so much fun to hold a little one again!

Here is Lainey gently petting his head...yes, I said petting, not patting :).


On to the ears:

Gotta touch his mouth too:

She just loved holding him:

We went over to my dad's house for our little get together and we had The Olive Garden for dinner. It was SO good! Thanks so much guys for organizing the get together, it was fun! After dinner we took the kiddos to the park to run off some excess energy.


Uncle Jayson and Lainey have this special bond, she thinks he is about the funniest guy around...here they are goofing off with each other:


This shot is minus Lainey because we took about 20 pics of the kiddos and she just wasn't cooperating. Holland looks real pleased to be doing this huh?!

The kids played a fun game of tag:

Aunt Lisa played too and here is a great shot of them right after she tagged Ethan:

Lainey just wasn't cooperating at all with pictures:



We decided to try another route and have them all look at the baby instead of the camera. It worked!

Here are two shots of Grandma Reading and Grandpa J with all the grand kids. This too was quite a feat!



Lainey loved to pet uncle Jayson's beard:


Daddy chillin with the kiddos:

Thanks again everyone in Utah, we had a really a good time. I was a bit exhausted after it all, but we REALLY enjoyed seeing everyone. We probably won't be back until next year, but we want you to all know that you are all more than welcome to come and visit US here in Lemoore!

This last shot is of the kids in our hotel room in Vegas (Henderson to be exact). It was a themed room and they loved having bunk beds. Too bad that we had no water when we first arrived and I was stuck being all nasty for the evening, BUT we did get a discount on the room and a couple of free beers out of the ordeal so it worked out just fine :).
