Thanksgiving...

Had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with Scott's family this year.  We missed Kristen, Nanette's family and Stephen's boys and their families.
 I was happy to get one halfway decent picture together for Thanksgiving.  
I sure love this family of mine!
 I thought this was too funny...Brandon had a pop in each hand!  Pop and pie is all that he wanted...He was driving us crazy, he would even polish off other people's pop cans...he didn't care!
 These two are too cute!  Kacie went to help Taylor feed her horse.


 Brandon and I were trying to entertain ourselves by taking selfies...haha!  Scott and I finally decided to take Brandon home around 7:30.  Kacie and Brady stayed the night there.
 Scott and I were vegging on the couch and when we decided to check on Brandon this is what we found.  I couldn't believe he was trying to eat shaving creme.  We found a trail of shaving creme throughout the whole house.   Earlier when we were getting ready he tried to eat the deodorant.  After we got the house and him cleaned up and back into bed we were both feeling pretty depressed about the whole thing so we decided to watch "Christmas with the Kranks" to help try to cheer us up.  I can't believe we have never seen it before, it was pretty funny!  It might have helped a little.


First time ever that I had all the Christmas decorations all up before Thanksgiving.
Friday Scott and I went with his parents to take Brandon back home and help them buy a new TV.  It was fun spending time with them and they even bought our lunch at Freddy's. (:  I went to get the kids while Scott was helping them set up their new TV.  The kids all went with Stacie to see a movie.  Saturday me and the kids went with Mom, Valeda and Teniele and her kids to see "Moana"  It was a super cute movie...we all loved it!

Our Vegas Trip...

We left after work on Wednesday November 9th and stayed in Twin Falls at Shilo Inn.  It was nice to get three hours done and break up the trip a little.  We got to Vegas Thursday around 5:00. 

 Perfect weather...
 cuties growing way too fast...



Friday we went to the strip around 3:00 and took a few pictures and then Reid's family joined up with us.  Brady was in heaven.  The garden in the Bellagio was so pretty.






































 After we were done at the strip we got the kids some food and then we went out to eat with Reid and Laura at Guy Fierri's restaurant called El Burro Borracho at the Rio hotel and casino.  It was fun and the food was good except a little pricey.  I was a little disappointed with my salad but the guacamole was wonderful and we really wanted the trash can nachos but didn't want to wait 30 minutes for them.

Saturday morning we headed to the AviationNation air show at Nellis Air Force Base.  You would have thought Scott was at Disneyland he was so excited.


They would set off these explosions when jets would fly by to make it seem like they were bombing us.  It was so cool!



The Thunderbirds are so awesome!!!










Scott's highlight was seeing this F22 fly!



F4 I believe!

These rigs were pretty cool too! 
They would have military drive by the runway in them with their guns


I think we were some of the very last to leave!

When we got back to Reid's we had pizza and visited for a little bit then Scott said we could drive by the strip one more time for Brady.  That was after we got some Nelson's Frozen Custard of course.  We opened up the sunroof and I videoed all the lights for Brady.  He was pretty excited!  Sunday we headed home.  We made pretty good time.  I think we left a little after 11:00 and got home by 9:30.  We had a great time and were so grateful to Reid and Laura for their great hospitality.
