Spring Break in Vegas

Kenneth and I headed (yet again) to Las Vegas - this time for Spring Break. We stayed with my brother Michael & his wife, Kim (who is due any day now).

We had fun going rock climbing on Saturday with Michael, Kim, Jose, Analee & Allison (and 5 little ones including Jonathan). It was kind of crazy going in a group where there were several babies/toddlers, but it was great.





















We even got to see a helicopter rescuing people off of the top of a nearby mountain. (We think it was for training). The little boys were VERY excited.



Danny also experienced his first repel this last weekend. We were trying to hike to a climb, but it got a little too intense feeling carrying Danny. Luckily we stopped at a point where there were chains for repelling.



We also watched "Gone with the Wind" this weekend. I have never seen it before, and had no clue what it was about, but thoroughly enjoyed it.

Analee & Jose left on Sunday, but Kenneth and I stayed through Wednesday. We were secretly hoping we would be there long enough for Kim to go into labor, and to see little Jonathan before we came back to UT, but that didn't happen. Danny ended up getting sick on Sunday (and is just barely getting better), so while Kenneth caught up with random climbers on Monday and Tuesday, I stayed indoors with Danny & Kim. I actually loved Danny being sick for the fact that he became a little cuddle-bug, which he usually is not.

Wednesday Kenneth and I headed home. I was started to feel a little sick myself at this point, and got a full-blown cold by Thursday. Kenneth took his GRE on Thursday morning and did well (whoo hoo!). On Friday we worked on projects around the house (painting doors, changing light fixtures, outlets, fertilizing our lawn, etc). Later that evening we went to my sister, Alisha's house to help her with some last minute projects. She is moving to GERMANY where her husband Sai is stationed for the British military. She is leaving in less than a month and is trying to get things situated. I can't even imagine what it would be like trying to pack up your life and move to a foreign country!! I am hoping that Kenneth and I will be able to visit her there sometime in the future. Go Europe!

In other random news, Danny has started to Army Crawl. We saw it for the first time yesterday. He loves remote controls, so we placed one just out of reach, and he started scooting to it using his arms and legs! It was incredible! We tried to get it on video, but were unsuccessful. We will keep trying.

That looks like so much fun! I love the pictures of you & Danny. Bummer about the colds though! Of course they'd show up over a vacation :-/

Where is the base Alisha is heading to? I'm so, so jealous of her! I only wish Matt could be stationed in Europe. You HAVE to visit her for sure!
