It has been so long since our last post and I am so sorry but our computer crashed and we lost everything including our pictures. Well, our computer is working now and this time I am saving my pictures on a disc instead of just my computer. So, since our last post quite a bit has been going on. Nathan and I went to Las Vegas for our 6th anniversary. It was a blast. We stayed in the Stratosphere Hotel and Casino for 4 days. It was definitely something we needed. When we arrived at our hotel they offered us two free shows and a free meal if we spent 2 hours of our time to look at a time share so of course we did it. We got free stuff, who wouldn't. So while we were there we got to see a comedy show, a magic show and a impersonation show. They were all great. We also did a little bit of the slot machines but didn't have much luck so we tried out hands at blackjack and a couple other games. We ended up coming home with about 45 dollars more than we went with. It was great fun!
So here are some pictures. These 2 pictures are of the view from our floor.
These next two pictures are from the top of the Stratosphere Tower.
Not a very good picture but that is the Stratosphere Tower view from just down the street.
Well, I am pretty sure you can all read but that is the sign for Circus Circus. We went in for a few minutes before one of our shows and saw a guy doing a unicycle act. The pictures didn't turn our because he was constantly moving but I got one that turned out OK. He did a regular unicycle along with the world's smallest and the world's tallest and everything in between. It was very cool.
Our room was not spectacular but it was perfect for us. We weren't in it much anyway.
Now, here are some pictures of our beautiful kids. They are growing up so fast but expecially Bailey. She already has four teeth poking through her gums and she is crawling and sitting up all by herself. I just can't believe it. But she is so fun. She is developing her personality and it is completely different from the other kids' when they wre that age. She loves to make a lot of noises and talks a lot. But she is only 6 months old she shouldn't be crawling yet.
She is also trying to pull herself up to furniture too.
And her playing with the kids is so fun to watch.
Look at that beautiful girl.
Rianne was digging toys out of the bottom of her toy box while Colvert was at school and she came out of the room like this. Very cute!
Colvert and Rianne are always climbing in the toy box to play.
Rianne also came out of her room one day with Colvert's pants on. She loves to dress and undress herself a lot.
Rianne cannot be parted with her dolly "June". She absolutely loves her. She would take her to the store if we would let her.
I loved Colvert's hairdo so I have to take this picture.
Bailey's first spoon fed eating. I was very impressed with how good she did.
My two girls together.
My wonderful family.

That is how we are all doing. Aren't my kids just beautiful though?
