Matthew and I took our annual Vegas trip with Shane and Marlene and as always we had so much fun! I made everyone go back into the M&M Factory again this year...I'm pretty sure none of them were all that happy about it! Haha!
We went to the Belagio to check out their botanical garden. It's so amazing to me! // I figured the kids would love this disco ball horse! It was HUGE!
Some of the flowers made of flowers hanging about our heads in the garden. // The coy fish. Again, it was so big! I wish you could see the size of these things in the pictures.
I love going into the garden to escape the smoke and fogginess of the casinos. It's like a breath of fresh air for a minute! And I think it's really pretty! // This fountain in the Belagio was just gorgeous! I loved the tile in the ceiling above it.
A view of our hotel from the strip. // Eli has found my camera!
The kids were so excited to get M&Ms with their names printed on them!!
Sorry these pictures are so blurry! The kids got to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa while we were out of town and their aunts got to come down for a bit to play too! (Thanks for letting me steal your pictures! Haha!)
Man I love these kids. No matter how my day was with the kids...pretty good or pretty bad...I love that I can look at these cute pictures of them and feel nothing but an overwhelming amount of love for them! They really are the best thing that has ever happened to me!
So, it is currently the end of April while I am writing this blog post...we are in the middle of social distancing for COVID-19 and everyone is being encouraged to wear masks when they leave the house. Who knew Eli was going to be so ahead of the game way back in January! (wink, wink) // Sorry I accidentally posted this picture twice. It's late and I'm apparently tired! But he's still cute! And I love that he's even holding the camera right...his finger already knows where to go to click a picture!
I wish I was better with my words. I just don't even know how to put into words how happy this picture makes me. I mean, I love that he's sitting reading his scriptures, but I also just think this would be darling with any book in his hands. Just to capture a moment of stillness makes me so happy, I guess! // Potty training the baby is still in our very distant future, but he is obviously watching us work with his big brother and I think he understands what he is supposed to do, but for now it's just fun to sit on the toilet and pretend. And that's fine with me! Maybe he will get comfortable on the throne so that when the real thing comes around maybe he will catch on pretty quickly.
I thought this was fun while I was in the M&M Factory. I kind of forgot this was there, but when you ride up the escalator all the M&M guys are painted on the wall and it's just fun to see how they have changed over the years.
