Visiting our Las Vegas Cousins!

We went to Las Vegas for 10 days to hang out
with the Braithwaite kids while Staci and Paul
went to Costa Rica to see Grandma and Grandpa
Marx on their mission. Aunt Staci had fun things
for us to do everyday! Saturday we played on the
slip-n-slide.....


And the swings....



And played with foam weapons... (Shaeli has the sword
at the moment)



Aubrey sliding...

Shaeli slippin...

Ashlyn almost crashing into Shaeli.

The kids almost broke the slide piling on for this

photo.

The Sunday morning activity was PlayDo ...

then after church, face painting!

Hailey is RAINBOW GIRL!

Jaklyn is turning Shaeli into a cat- and Shaeli was very

patient at first, but as the paint dried on her face, she got

a little freaked out so we had to wash it off.

I painted Jaklyn into a cat.

Shaeli loved her swing, and had plenty of people

willing to swing her. The weather was nice and

cool too,so it was perfect playing in the back yard.

It was so nice that we ate dinner outside every night.

Yes, I did say dinner, and Jake is still in his

PJs.

We actually spent a lot of time in our PJs! It was a fun

relaxing trip.

Playing tennis on the Wii! And yes, they are in their PJS!

Beautiful Kaitlyn on the computer......

in her PJs.

This time Jaklyn promised to make a small

painting on Shaeli's cheek-she got a half of

a butterfly...

while in her PJS.

Getting the water ballon games ready. Jaklyn

got them all set and organized. She is going

to be a great school teacher some day! At least

most of the kids are dressed, only Kaitlyn in her

PJs.

Another day of face painting- this time they did their own

faces in the bathroom mirror! Just practicing for when they

become teenagers and get to wear make-up!


Ashlyn and Hailey are little fishes!

Finally they are wearing something other than their
PJs!

Staci and her mini-me, Jaklyn!
