A trip to Paradise in May.
Super excited, I need a tan!

Reyndrop Turned 11!

We celebrated Reyn's birthday at Zupas, opened some presents, ate a unicorn and were transfixed by the magic of the Sorcerer of Saratoga.  Reyn is growing up fast, and just like that she has a boyfriend named Luke.  She's gonna be a heartbreaker!  

Cruisers

For Christmas David got the girls a cruise.  This time they boarded the Carnival Magic headed for the Western Caribbean.  They stopped in Honduras, Belize, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel.  Lucky girls!

Las Vegas

Love these boyz!❤

Besides all the free entertainment on the strip we spent some time at the Pinball Hall of Fame and took in the Mac King Comedy Magic Show.  GOOD TIMES!

Fire Wave

Our next stop was in the "Valley of Fire."  We hiked the fire wave. 

Oasis

We decided to escape the cold for a few days and headed south.  We spent some time at the Stevenson Inn, thanks Angie!  Then made our way to Vegas.  On the way we did some exploring.  Our first stop was Warmsprings recreation.  It is a little oasis in the middle of nowhere (near the Moapa Indian Reservation).  I had a lovely visit with the sister missionary who serves there while Ben and Q took a dip.

If you look closely you will see some
tiny little fish nibbling their feet.

Oh Boy, Here We Go...

Alyssa is the first of our "triplets" to turn 13.  By the end of June we will have 4 teenagers😟.  Things might be a little rough over here for the next few years.  However, this afternoon we took Alyssa to lunch and she told me that I am great, she never says that.  Maybe the teenage years will make her sweeter??? 🤞

HaPpY bIrThDaY Alyssa!  You are amazing!  You're smart, fun, responsible, beautiful, sweet and helpful. I'm a lucky mom!

Alyssa's friends decorated her locker at school!
This made me so happy I just about cried.

Dinner and a pedicure with daddy

Alyssa felt a lot of love today💜
