In the middle of April Derrik got a phone call from his company that put an interesting spin on our "New" life in Vegas. To make a Really Long, Stressful story short we quickly made the decision to go out and sell for the summer again. Sooooo in about 6 days time he was saying his goodbye's and about to be Texas bound for the next 5 months. Well I had found an AMAZING job here in Henderson about 4 weeks earlier that I Love, so we decided it would be best if I stayed behind for awhile so I could keep working.


Zions with Derrik's Family

We decided to all get together one last time before Derrik had to leave for the summer. We all met up at Zions National Park and went hiking and then later had dinner in Springdale at a Yummy Mexican Restaurant.


Derrik feeding Krayton chips... he wasn't so sure.




This Picture Cracks me up. Derrik kept crossing the fence and stressing his mom, I'm scared for one day when we have kids that they will be naughty like him :(
This was his arrangment idea if you can imagine that :)
The View was AMAZING! We hadn't been to Zions in Years and had forgotten how gorgeous it is.








Here's to the Summer...

Misc.



Here are just a few pic's from some Random happenings


Avatar 3D Date Night

Adam, Derrik, and I went to Goodwill in Henderson and bought this bedroom set for 35 dollars, a headboard, foot board, and night stand that I went home sanded and refinished. It was my first refurbishing attempt and I think it turned out pretty good for 40 Bucks!


Kensley and I on her Big Day.

Waxing my Dads Ears, he was such a good sport and didn't even wine at all like his Sons!

-Easter-
For Easter this year I decided to let Derrik experience the Big Rockin R Ranch Easter Egg Hunt that I use to attend every year as a kid. I hadn't been back since... geez I don't even know when, but it had been a Long time. It's not quite as fun as it is when your a kid, but it was cute watching Lany's and Kensley find candy and meet the Easter Bunny :)


So uncle Derrik took Alayna while Jarad took Kade so Ang could get some pictures and apparently he didn't hear the "Only 3-4 bags of candy per kid" rule and when their time was up her brown paper bag was Heaping with candy, lets just say she learned a good lesson on sharing that day while dispersing her candy evenly between the little ones that didn't get any :)



Adam Flying Kites with Keanna


Okay so that night when we were all back at my moms we decided to go play volleyball over at the school because it was FREEZING cold all weekend. Well of course when Adam hear's that we are going, he goes upstairs and trys to find his most interesting playing gear to impress us all (the Full body shot isn't Blog Approved) and as you can see on his daughters face she thinks he's as crazy as the rest of us :) Priceless!


Keanna trying on my old Cheer Uniform, she was being so silly.


I Love this pic because they totally do stuff like this all the time and he secretly Loves it :) just chillin blowin bubbles...

Ang and I went back to Vegas for the week with the kids and went swimming, to the parks, M&M World, etc! When we dropped into Vegas we decided to take a quick drive down a tiny part of the strip so they could see the bright lights and Kade said he wants to live there when he grows up, and when Alayna spotted the Luxor she started pointing and yelling "Pretty Mountain" They all 3 were in Awe all weekend.








Checking out the Flower Gardens.

My snuggly date to the water show :)


M&M world was a HUGE hit

Outdoor World checking out all the animals.
She found Exactly what she loves Most...
And SO Did I! Mmmm

The kids were a little bummed because all the outdoor pools were still closed so we went swimming indoors, it was Freezing though so they didn't last long.

This is one part of Vegas that I LOVE, they have SO many parks and they are all so nice, some of them even have different themes.

The Whites Visit to Vegas

We got to see Reed, Hailey, Jazzie, and Ryan one of the weekends in April and go out on the Town. It had been like 6 months so it was nice to get together again and catch up, hopefully next time we'll get to see little Mollie :)
