Our morning started early. I was up at 6:10 with Andrew and never really stopped all day. Both girls were up before 7 and were playing on the new climber playset that we got off craigslist .  Last night when we unloaded it from the truck and brought it to the backyard Julia could not stop saying thank you and “this is SO AWESOME!”

General Conference started at 9 am and we hung out in our room to watch it while Andrew napped. 

After the first session I ran some errands and then we took the kids to Aviary Park.  It was a fun park and the kids loved it. 

Conference was back on at 1pm and while watching, Julia practiced her cutting skills.  She cut out all the squares on several bingo boards.  She LOVES to cut! 

Christian had to leave right after the second session to get ready for a BBQ for the Elders Quorum that they did before the Priesthood Session.  So, we went to the Fashion Show Mall in downtown Vegas with the Braithewaite girls.  The girls loved the fashion show! Eliana brought her camera to take pictures.

I know these iPhone pics aren’t the best….

After the show was over, the floor sunk back into the ground and the girls practiced their catwalk skills. 

Andrew had fun walking along the catwalk too! And that was just 1 day!  Whew, am I exhausted!

A couple of weeks ago in church I was writing a talk for Julia to give in primary. Eliana decided to write her own talk and this is what she came up with, with no help from me. I was so impressed and grateful that she is spiritually minded. We are blessed to have her in our home.

I have a goal to have a “family adventure” once a week. On Saturday we spent most of the day cleaning organizing and starting to pack. So after Andrew woke up from his second nap we went to the forum shops at Cesar’s palace. The girls enjoyed the fish tank and the apple store

Eliana is one smart little girl! She got another report card with all A’s. We found out that Krispie Kreme gives students a donut for each A. She was very excited about that so we took her. It was a fun family adventure. The girls loved seeing the donuts made and Eliana was very happy to share her donuts with daddy and Julia.

Christian got an iPad as a gift from PepsiCo for speaking at their conference on recycling. It is so fun and the girls love it!!

I am in some serious trouble with this little one!

The handsomest little guy on the planet , of course no bias here! Enough said.

Andrew has been taking steps for a little while but crawling is still his main mode of getting around. He now will stand and start to walk and go any where from 3-10 steps, get a little wobbly and then crawl. It’s only a matter of time. He is a very curious and adventurous little boy already! He loves to climb and climbs up the step stools if
they are around. He loves to empty the cupboards and shelves and put things in and out of stuff.

Julia likes to come into our room early in the
