Friday fishing, pool fun, and the tooth fairy!!

This past Friday Chris and the kids were up bright and early with me to head down to the clubhouse and go fishing before it got too hot. They have been going at least once a week for quite sometime, getting some practice in for camping in October!! They go to the clubhouse, cause if the kids wanna swim they can too. I have no pics of Nicholas, I wonder if he was behind the camera, but they caught a bunch of fish!!!
Delaney and her prize!




I believe Delaney and Daddy caught this catfish together.


Chris and his bitty fishy.




Cody, who secure in his boyhood, is using the pink fishing pole!!
Friday night we went back to Mesquite Groves Pool for Friday free swim!! It was so much warmer this time than last, although with the breeze it was a bit chilly. Kids had a great time, and Nicholas proceded to lose his like 4th tooth in as many weeks. So the tooth pic is the only one I have from swimming, I know it may be a shock, but I didnt even take the camera this time. Was a great way to start the weekend!!!




Hes not upset, just tired of taking pics with the phone, lol!

Vegas Baby....with kiddos!!


So the weekend of the 5th, the kids and I ventured up to Vegas along with Da Smiths, DeeDee and Kim. It was a nice weekend away, plus we got to see Jason and Bruce who were up playing in the World Series of Poker. We drove up Friday after work. Saturday we had a great breakfast at the Carnival Buffet at the Rio, biggest buffet on earth! After breakfast we walked into where they were playing the WSOP, it was so awesome to see all these players Ive watched on TV for years. We saw Mike Sexton, Kathy Liebert, Mike Caro, TJ Cloutier, Humberto Brenes, Mark Seif, Dennis Philips, and Greg Raymer. Im sure Ive forgotten a couple. Terri and I then took the kids to the Flamingo to swim in their awesome pools. 3 slides connected 4 pools, the water was so cold but the kids had a blast. Sunday we did the Coke store and the M&M store, then hit the road home. Was a great weekend, the kids had a blast, Chris missed another great trip, sorry you had to work babe!
