looking at our window view
So after the California trip to see Alana's baptism was called off, Corinne took me(Sarah) and her 2 boys to Las Vegas. We found a ton of things to do like: The Tournament of Kings(which was so much fun to cheer and see cute boys ride on horses LOL) we walked the strip and saw the cool fountain show, and played arcade games and won 2 sharks:) The next day we went to the Adventure Dome at Circus Circus where we rode lots of rides and I managed to get lost for 2 hours! we saw the great view and. had 2 VERY YUMMY meals at the buffet at our hotel(the Excalibur) Sunday we went to an aquarium, Hoover Dam, the Rainforest Cafe, and a tribute to the Beegees concert. I found out that it is a GREAT place to teach life/moral lessons and Taylor and Alex are a lot of fun to teach them to:) and to the trip just could not be complete without Krispy Kreame doughnuts top it all off! yay!

power out! ahh!!




so we wanted to go to California to see Alana Oakman's baptism but the weather decided otherwise. roads were closed and it would've been way too horrific to go and the night we found out it was all called off we were all bummed out and grumpy when the power goes off from a HUGE snowstorm. LOL just our luck! we all laughed at the irony and wondered what was going to happen next. Luckily Dad has his handy pug lights around the entire house and we used a camping stove to bake Mom's casserole. the lights turned on an hour later :)




we went to soldier's hollow as a family in February, we waited a little bit so we ate lunch(NOT recommended) but we all had a blast on the slopes!

Dad's birthday




Dad had a Birthday party in January , everyone came. Richard turned 61. Imagine that !!!
