What a crazy week!

Wow...it's hard to believe it's just been over a week since my last update. So much has happened. Last Saturday morning Sonny, Aliana and I left for Las Vegas....we were there for a whole 45 hours...lol. Mine and Sonny's old roomates from Sacramento (2001) were getting married...we hadn't seen them since 2001, nor had we met their daughter Haylie. It was a very quick trip, but it was nice. The wedding was Saturday afternoon, we had dinner and a reception after. Then Sunday we did a little exploring and walked around the strip a little. We came home Monday morning and I think everyone in our family was ready. We missed the boys terribly, and they were really starting to miss us. It's hard to leave them. But they had a fun weekend with their Nana and Auntie! Here are a couple pictures from Vegas....

Aliana and Haylie before the wedding! (Aliana wasn't too happy)

Bellagio water show. Aliana L-O-V-E-D it!!!

Since we've been back the majority of our family has gotten sick. Isaiah has strep again, this is the third time in two months. I feel so bad for him. He's on another round of antibiotics. After this round we will go back to the doctor and they want to test him again to see if he's a carrier. I'm not sure what that means if it comes back positive?! Hopefully that won't be the case though, I'm hoping we can get this under control and he can get well and stay well. Aliana is also battling a cold, she's a little congested and has a cough. Then today I woke up not feeling well. My throat is a little sore, I'm congested and my voice sounds...manly! How sexy! ;o) So far Sonny and Kaleb are doing well though...*knock on wood!*

I've posted some pictures from this week...the kiddos have been pretty silly! It's early release all this week and next for Kaleb as his school is having parent/teacher conferences, so he gets out at 12:30pm..leaves lots of time for the kids to use their imaginations....lol.

Isaiah had about 7 beanie hats on!

Kaleb and Isaiah had a photoshoot....Isaiah was the photographer!

Aliana loves yogurt!



And mommy and daddy's "margarita" cup from Vegas (don't worry it's been washed and only had some water in it!)

This weekend is going to be pretty uneventful, besides getting the house in order for Thanksgiving. Sonny's family is coming from California, as well as our new brother in law coming from Ft. Hood, my grandpa from Montana, and the rest of our family here in town! It's going to be busy! But I'm looking forward to having everyone together...Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I enjoy having big family get-togethers....it doesn't happen often enough! I'm not really looking forward to all that cooking though....but it'll be worth it...Mmmmm!

We got our family pictures back...they are so wonderful! I was starting to feel a little discouraged since the weather wasn't really cooperating...but I was pleasantly suprised with the outcome! We got some great shots. I feel very lucky that we found out about Tara....she really does a fabulous job...and I gained a new friend out of it! If you'd like to see the pictures, please email me and I'll send you the link, you can decide if you want any and which ones, and we'll go from there! :o)

Ok...I'm off to bed! I need to get better..rest will hopefully help! The boys are at our very good friends' house staying with their "best friends ever" (Thanks 'J and J' for taking them both....brave ;o) haha) ...Aliana is sleeping...so I should be too!

Have a great weekend!
