Another Exciting Weekend

To all our loyal readers..... At this very moment I am wondering....how and the heck do Jon and Kate plus 8 ever get through the day? Our life is a crazy life with just us plus 4! Anyway, I started my day yesterday trying to unload/load up the dishwasher and the little bubs just had to help me out. Of course, I will appreciate it when they are older, the extra help that is, but this "type" of help was more comical for me than anything. They are into EVEYTHING!
We left early yesterday and headed out to Katy Mills mall. The girls had been asking to go eat at the Rainforest Cafe so we figured why not go and do a little school shopping. We had to go that way anyway for our nephew Adden's birthday party. While we were there we all decided to get our ears pierced. That's right, my baby girl, Kaeli, pierced her ears! She was so brave and is soooo cute now with her ears pierced. Awwhh. Kaetlyn repierced one of her holes that had grown back. She was a bit afraid, but was a big girl too.












We later went over to Amy's house for Adden's party. He is 6 now and is growing up so fast too. We had alot of fun and we're all exhausted when we got home. It was a great day.

Viva Las Vegas!

Chris and I just got back from Las Vegas. It was our first trip EVER! We decided to go to Vegas kind of on a last minute thing and we are so glad we did. We had a blast. We got to Vegas on Friday morning and spent the day checking out the casinos. We stayed at the Paris, which I highly recomend. It was so beautiful. We had dinner at this amazing little resturant, "Olives", inside the Bellagio, which was directly on the fountains. We had an amazing meal and got to watch the water show. Saturday, we continued exploring the city, visiting the other casinos, and the m&m store. We went to the Cirque du Soleil show inside Treasure Island Saturday night. It was really great.
We did a little gambling and won what we thought was good money. It pretty much paid for our all our spending money. "Diamond" as we named the machine was very good to us and we played her pretty much the entire time. Just a nickel machine, but a big payer! All in all, we had a great weekend and can't wait to go back!
