Vegas Trip

We just got back a week ago from a trip to Vegas. I had to go down for a followup visit from the Lasik I got done a couple of weeks ago (By the way, thanks Nate, Darin, Mandy, and Mom for not telling me they pry your eyes open. It hurt like heck on the second eye. I almost thought about telling them nevermind, one eye is good, its not worth it. I have newfound sympathy for you Blake). We decided to stay a couple of days since we really hadn't even had a day off since the parade to relax and not think about work. The hotel was pretty nice and the kids loved the pool. I know my brothers and sisters remember Dad taking rolls of pictures of us jumping into the pool trying to get us in mid-air. It is a little easier now with the convenient "delete" button and try again. My hat is off to you Dad, you did it in one shot and you couldn't see your work until we were back at home and there were no double takes. Here are a couple from the pool.....
















Lyssie had figured out a new hairstyle that might take a couple of years before it is popular, but I can totally see this one taking off. The other thing we found out on our trip is that there is only one song that Halle knows....well, kinda knows. We like the new words to the song:


We have also been spending a lot of time at the ballpark lately with Cade's baseball. The girls love it because they can go play on the playground. Halle found a little friend and came to intruduce the "nother Halle". She had found a girl to play with on the slides whose name was also Halle. They were the same age, same height, and ran off holding hands. It was pretty cute. I happened to have the camera with us tonight when Cade hit a pretty sweet double.

Nice slide into second, Cade!

He is doing really well and loves baseball more than anything. He is going to be 14 in about a week. I can't believe we are all that old.
