Sand Hollow
On our way home from Texas we stopped overnight at Grandma Becky's house. We had a great dinner and the kids played in the backyard and with all her fun toys. It was so nice to see the dogs again. They were so excited to see us. The next day we went to the Lake and played with the kayaks. Brenden did so well in his that he gave Dylan a ride. Dylan loves being in the boats. We had such a great time at the lake.

 

We had such a good trip to Texas, but looking forward to being in our own beds again. We didn't have room in the back of the jeep for the dogs, so they sat in the front with us. They were so excited. Maverick sat on my lap, and Stetson sat on Ben's. We were listening to some old 80's songs on the radio and Ben started singing to Maverick. Maverick would look up at him with so much love in his eyes, and pay such close attention. It was so funny to watch Ben sing "you bring meaning to my life, your my inspiration" to the dog. Everytime Ben would start to sing, Maverick would sit up and look at him. I was laughing so hard, it totally made my day. It was so nice getting home after being gone over a week. Dylan slept better being home, and that made me think that I would be able to get through the summer. I have never seen a baby fight so hard to not sleep. I've read lots of books on premature baby's and it looks like you either get one that sleeps all the time, or one that never sleeps. Even though he doesn't sleep well he is such a happy baby. It's going to be fun to watch him with his big brother and sister. We are so excited to get to spend the summer with Brenden and Sarah.

 Natural History Museum.
We have a season pass for a few different museums. The kids totally love them. It's so nice to get out of the Vegas heat and do an indoor activity. This museum has so many activity's, and different exhibits. They have small sharks and sting rays you can watch, and watch them be fed. We were watching them feed the sharks last time we were there and Dylan got so excited he threw in his hat. So embarrassing.

 We have been having some great weather, lots of storms have been cooling things down. So we've been playing outside as much as we can. Brenden didn't have any tennis shoes, and we hadn't gone shoe shopping yet, but it turns out his feet and mine are the same size. Pretty nice, yet embarrassing that I have the same size feet as my 9 year old boy. We had a lot of fun taking the kids and dogs out hiking at Lake Mead.
