BRANDON IS 10!!!!

Our cute Brandon Steven turned 10 today!! (Aug 9th, 2010)

What a funny boy....

His birthday was a movie party. The invitation was a movie ticket, everyone came to the NEWTON MEGAPLEX to watch a show!!

The cute "ticket girl" and "popcorn boy"

They had a great time!

Family Time up Rose Canyon

We were all just playing around and of course I was taking pictures. All of a sudden Ryan sat down and just posed for a picture on a log. SOOOOO of course I had to take a picture of each kid in that place. Turned out so cute if I don't say so myself!!

VEGAS 2010....

So, not a typical Newton Vegas trip. Usually we ditch the kids and take off!! This time we decided for spring break to take them along, what a blast!!!!


They LOVED the lights on the strip!!

The main thing we wanted to do was to stay at Mandalay Bay and take them to the wave pool and lazy river. It was soooo fun! They were in the water non stop!! While it was cold back in Salt Lake, we were in 80 degree weather!!

Steve is THE BEST DAD!! He played with the kids non stop. Right when he'd get done in the wave pool with the older kids he was right over with Ryan playing in the little pool!

Ryan's favorite spot the whole trip was inside all the stacked up tubes!!

The GIRLS.....

And, THE BOYS...

Awesome picture in front of New York New York!! Just wish Steve were in it!!

Checking out the fountain show at Bellagio, it was so neat!!

Tram ride from Mandalay Bay to Excalibur. Can't count how many "You must be crazy having 5 kids" looks we had on this trip!! Steve would just give them an "Oh, I know buddy" look!!

In front of the castle!!

Having fun on the Harleys!! My biker chicks...

And cute biker dudes...

Oh my, should I be scared? YES. What a girl my Camy is!!

Takes after her big sister I guess!!

Another tram ride.... Always on the go in Vegas!!

Cute kids at the RIO catching beads!

Fun times at the M&M factory.... (to be honest, it was awful!! chasing 5 kids through a 4 story m&m store with loud music and a thousand people) But come on, it's the M&M factory, right?

Braden getting down in Vegas!! Woot Woot!

Brandon ready for the waves!!!!

Look at that babe! Can't believe that's my daugther laying out. Wanted to cover her up with a big towel and tell the boys to look away!!

Cute kids at the pool!

Ryan playing peek a boo!!

Had to get a shot in front of the hotel!! What a great place!

Sand butt!

I swear this was one of the only times I saw Braden the whole time at the pool! He was non-stop in that water! But when he stopped for food, he was OUT!

Love these girls so much. They had a great time in the wave pool!

Braden hangin' in the water...

Dad and the boys catching a wave...

Oh my gosh, Ryan laying out with Linden. How cute is that!!

What a babe!

Ryan making her silly face. She was so good on this trip!

Brandon is so great with RyRy. He always takes time to be with her...

What an awesome trip! We had a blast. Not sure how we're going to get away with just Steve and I going again in the future!!
