Let the party begin

Doug's dissertation is submitted and he's nearly ready for printing.  We had planned a little getaway with the kids to Las Vegas and stopped in St George for one night.  It was my grandma Creed's birthday and we met them to go to dinner for her birthday.  My Aunt Julie purchased a cake that read "Congrats Dr. Doug" which ended up being an appetizer as our dinner service was pretty poor and dinner was about 45 minutes late.  It was so fun to spend time with them.


Ethan and Sydney were completely enamored by grandma and grandpa's toys.  They were antiques that my mother had played with as a child.  They sat in a high chair my mother sat in decades ago.  They were in heaven.



Lyla got lots of love from both of them.




Thursday (4th of July), we met Ezra and Elise in the morning and went swimming in her uncle's pool.  It was over 110 degrees, so swimming was about the only thing we could think to do.  I laid Lyla on a portable bed under a beach umbrella and sprayed her with water several times.  She seemed to stay cool enough.


Ethan and Sydney had a great time with the kids--Landon, Lucas, and Anna.  They got along well and it's a good thing--they will be seeing each other for years to come, if we have any say in the matter.
