Lake Mead

It was hard for the kids while we were in Nevada. Living in hotel rooms for 2 1/2 weeks and visitng hospitals all the time is not fun for little kids. So we found some fun things for them to do. One was to go to Lake Mead and feed popcorn to the fish. Ofcourse we chose the windiest day possible and couldn't stay for long because it was too cold and the water was spraying up at us, but it was still fun.

The fish are huge!!! If you look in this fish's mouth you can see a piece of popcorn and get an idea of how big they are.

The waves were crazy from the wind, and you have to walk down this little path to get to the area where you find the fish. We got so wet from the water splashing up on us.

Cousin Alexis

The last time we saw Carrie and her daughter Alexis was in June 2004. I was pregnant with Donovan, and Jack and Alexis were almost 11 months old

Henderson, NV trip

On Sunday the 10th we headed to Henderson, NV because Corey's Grandma Jo was in the hospital. Corey's Mom, sister Katie and her son Jaden, brother Scott, and cousin Carrie with her daughter Alexis came the next day. While it was a sad reason for us all to meet up, it was wonderful to see everyone.

Uncle Dennis and Aunt April's house

We stayed with Dennis and April while we were in the mountains. Their daughter Stephanie is a month and a half older than Isabella. It was really fun to see them together, and to see Dennis' son Kyle and daughter Hailee who come up on the weekends. All the kids had such a good time playing with their cousins!

Not quite sure of each other..... Stephanie kept trying to pull her toys away, and Bella kept pulling them right back. It was too cute!
