A little Vegas in review...

 Zach and I took a quick trip out to Vegas for the weekend with a few friends last weekend.  I'm not sure who had more fun - the kids who got to stay with Grandma Barb and Jessica and got to visit the farm - or us!

Here's a quick review of our weekend - don't worry - it's all very PG13 of course!!! 
(I left out all the really good stuff - Just kidding...kind-of!)

Our Crew

Zach and Lindsey - more blackjack please!

Nice drink...actually he stole it from Mr. Keith!

Lindsey showed the bartender how to really pour some shots!

Look at those skills~

Then the bartender showed us how to really deliver some drinks...he went all the way around the bar like this - impressive!

Don't we look cute!

Just a little shout out to the hard working Pepsi Guy!

Fountain show at the Bellagio

And that's the end folks - no more photos please! 

We had a great time and are so thankful for Barb and Jess for taking Great care of our babes!  I'm not sure what we would do without you guys!

Derby Time!

Another Derby has come and gone - but I think it was my favorite yet! 

We started the day of with an AMAZING breakfast at Papa Johns's Cardinal Stadium with a bunch of the Centerplate crew!  And then we headed to this beautiful track!

We were there with 150,000+ of our closest friends - but chose to hang out with these 2 for the day! 

 The group! 

 And we waited all day for this...

They say it's the best 2 minutes in sports...and it's true. 

Always amazes me watching these beautiful horses run. 

And anyone who knows my husband even a little knows that he definately had a bet on "I'll have another" so yep - he won a little cash!

Thunder Over Louisville 2012

Aunt Allison, Uncle Drew and formerly Baby Tyler came to visit this year for Thunder.  We had a great weekend!  The kids played together Friday and us girls snuck in a little shopping.  Saturday was Thunder - what a long day - but it was Really fun!  The kids were great for the most part and we had a fun time just hanging out down at the Yum!Center. 

Enjoy some photos from our weekend...

Little face smooshin love



Emma was so happy to have Hannah to play with - they had fun!

 

Little man was so excited for the fireworks

And some more love...can you feel it?

Thunder is amazing...so beautiful!

This man was glued to the window!

These guys make it all possible...well - and a few other peeps

1st time seeing fireworks!

He tried so hard - but just couldn't make it!

I hope they had a good time - we're so glad they could spend a little time with us!

Spring

I'm so glad it's Spring and the weather has been beautiful! We've been spending a lot of time outside lately. Emma has started riding her "Big" bike and Chase is Loving his big wheel - but he drives JUST like a Farmer. Papa Knute would be proud!

Emma and Chase both started swimming lessons last week. They both LOVE them.

Food...

"See Food" (Sorry - I thought it was funny!)

Little people's things...

Mommy's things...

This doesn't happen as often now that Emma has her own camera that she got for Christmas...but once in a while I still get a little suprise when I go to download pictures of my camera. They're always good for a laugh...hope you enjoyed.

Spring - ALmost...

You know it's almost spring when they're lots of mud puddles around. (This is how Chase looked one day last week when I picked him up from school - and the pictures don't do it justice!)

Poor Chase (He was so mad at me for taking pictures of him).

Happy Spring!

Birthday - part 2, 3, 4...Too Much Birthday!

Emma had Several birthday's this year - so this will finish up the 4 year old birthday posts.

After her party with just us 4 at Chick-fil-a and then her class party, Emma also had a party with some friends from school at McDonald's (which I would recommend - EASY!) and then yet another with Papa Knute, Grandma Nesie, Aunt Carrie and Uncle Josh. We are Birthday'd Out!

Here's just a few pics:

Last birthday cake (Ice Cream cake! YUM!)

Her face heading out to see her new bike!

A quick ride...

We love our Papa Knute and Grandma Nesie - thank you for coming down. We can't wait to see you again soon!

And lastly - a few pics from McDonalds. Almost all her friends were able to come and I think they all had a great time!!! The best part - a great McDonalds play area that was easy to sit back and watch the kids without having to worry about losing anyone!
