Sparks, NV - here we come!

Our adorable niece Hayden was getting baptized in March and we didn't want to miss it so we all headed in the car and drove to the beautiful city of Sparks, NV :)  Actually, it was a nice area and Mike and Kristin's neighborhood was beautiful.

We miss them all so much and are so sad to not see them often but we couldn't wait to get to Sparks to see them.

So...we hopped in the car and headed out one night and drove to Winnemucca, NV to stay over and then drove the rest of the way to Sparks the next morning.

I had to document this picture because I love the crowded pillows, blankets and kids.  They were all so tired but crazily, only Logan fell asleep at first!  We were shocked!  Love how he put his blanket on his head and fell fast asleep.  Such a cutie boy.

We made it!

When we arrived, we went for a tour of their beautiful home and then let the kids play and play and of course, eat lunch together.

Next, we headed outside and my sweetest Rio wanted to draw the Temple and the words to "I Love to See the Temple."  

Love her and her tender, little spirit.

Next, it was time to head outside and play with uncles and aunts.

We did so many fun things.  One of the things we got to do was go to Uncle Mike's casino and play in their play area/arcade and bounce house.  It was so much fun and the kids loved it!

*Rio, Logan, Hayden, Preston, Ethan, Brinlee, Jax, Blake, Tyler and Austin*

Before we had left, we had shown the kids these silly videos of kids eating super sour "war head" candy and they couldn't believe that they would be so sour.

So...at the casino, they had WarHeads and well, we couldn't pass up the chance to show them just how sour they are.  Jax and Austin were up for the challenge :)

*Jax*

They are so funny and totally agreed that they are super sour!

Later that night, we played "Down by the Banks"

And the boys all took turns wrestling with grandpa as well.

So fun!

Love making fun memories with our family.
