Las Vegas

I tend to go a while between posts. I've got a bit of catching up to do, so here it is.

The first week of June, we took a road trip to Las Vegas. My brother Ryan blessed his baby, so we wanted to be there. On our long drive, we were trying to keep the kids as entertained as possible. This was a little bit of the fun that we had. . .

This is the first video I've ever uploaded to the Internet, so I hope it works.

Here are some pictures of my cute little new nephew, Brad.

Ryan and Jocelyn moved into their new house the very day we got there, so we were able to help them move in. It was great to be able to help them even though we live so far away!

While we were there, we look the kids swimming. It was a really fun YMCA pool with slides and diving boards and stuff. The only problem was that you can't go on them unless you pass a swimming test. You have to swim all the way across the pool. Now Erin has been swimming for a while. She's a very good swimmer too, but I've never seen her swim more than 15-20 feet! I didn't think she could pass the swim test, and I told her so. Well, she said "I can at least try!", and she did. I was very worried, but she did it!!!!!!! She swam all the way across that pool all by herself! She struggled at the very end, but finished it nevertheless. I tell you I've never been so proud of her in my whole life! She did it even though her own mother told her she couldn't! What a bad mother I am. And what a great example Erin was to me. you never know until you try. She earned a green wrist band and the rights to go on the big slides.

We've finished another season of Soccer. Devin loved Soccer this season. He even made a Goal! His team pictures didn't work out though, and we missed the retakes, so we took these cute pictures to make up for them.

More updates to come.
