Lila was trying to get Charlotte to not crawl away....ha!!

The cutest little girly cousins I have ever seen.

I am sad that Charlotte will never have a sister but am so thankful for these two....they will be besties, I just know it!

A whole new world has opened for this one....she is on the move.

yep, I love her face :)

I would have liked to have gotten more shots of the boys but they were to caught up in their discussion about who knows what.

John and his girl

love them. Love. Love. Love. A lot. A lot. A lot.

ahhh.....finally caught these two.

Our Charlie girl!!

I can't believe how fast this year is going.....

Here is Charlotte's 7 month pic...and a few out takes :)

Marley is never far behind Charlotte. They both love each other. And I have never seen a more patient dog. Sissy climbs all over her, pulls at her...and the silly dog just lays there. Cutest thing ever.

 

she is VERY pleased with her new skills of sitting and army crawling. She also does this weird semi crab walk thing. Crazy girl.

 

I mean come on, how cute is that face?!!!???

 

 

And the oldest kid in the house. Um, yeah he isn't 14 yet but dang he looks like it!! In Vegas he really wanted to get a "flat hat" like his friends. We found one and he was so so happy....I think he even wore it to bed :)

And another one of my girl...

 

and the crazy one in the middle!!! :))

 

 

Kicking off Spring Break with a trip to Vegas!

We started off spring break with a trip to Vegas with the kids. As we drove onto the strip and Luke spotted Transformer "characters" and jack sparrow (or people peddling for money dressed up...either one) :) he said it was better than Disneyland! :) ha!

We started with a little toast of champagne!

 

And Drew was so happy to be out of the car :)

 

We walked around and it was super windy.....John tried to take a pic. Best we could get of me and my monkeys :)

 

At least they get their goofiness honestly!!! :)

 

The strip

the boys thought it was so cool that places had tvs that faced the street.

hitting up the fountains at the bellagio

another highlight was watching to divers fix the fountains

my Drewbaloo

 

Charlotte and I

our hotel

 

luke loves, LOVES vacations. This boy is happiest in these moments with our family. And I love that :)

 

And keeping our late night going by hitting up the forum shops in Caesars.

the next day the kids really wanted to go to the MnM factory. (FYI.....it is just 4 flights of candy merchandise....I mean, really, who knew they made MnM shower curtains??!

But these two....they loved it all.

after that we went to the coke store right next door. This was much more fun because we shared a tray of coke floats. :))

 

 

 

 

 

Charlotte passed on the soda :))

One thing the boys really wanted to do was go to the pool. It was still super windy and the water was cold....that didn't stop my little fish. They loved it.

 

 

and little sis, sporting her first bikini :))

 

Surprisingly, she loved it too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Luke, hard to get a pic of him in the water anymore....he is a swimming machine

 

We had a fantastic time!!! Luke is already asking when we are going back.

Charlotte did GREAT on the drive, which made this momma happy :). Although poor Drew got sick right when we left and then proceeded to puke numerous times on the way home. Only Drew......
