Las Vegas Weekend

Ashton and I went to visit Ginny and Dad and families. We had a great time. Ginny and I hung out on Friday and went to Lake Las Vegas and to Hoover Dam. Saturday it was just the girls, Ginny, me, Sheila and Joann, we went shopping and more shopping and more shopping then went to Green Valley Ranch for some Sushi. It was really nice of Grandpa & Grandma to watch Ashton and Johnny for those two days so we could run all over the place. On Sunday we hung out at Dad's just relaxing. Ashton did great on the plane both ways. We were very lucky to have two nice ladies next to us that offered to help out if necessary. On the way home we were in a window seat and the man sitting next to us had a 3 year old at home. He also offered to help get stuff out of the bag if necessary. I must say that it was a very good feeling to see that there are still some people who are nice to you when you are traveling with an infant. It was funny when we were boarding after first class and there was a man in his 50's that had a terrified look on his face....I'm sure he was praying that we weren't in first class near him! It turned out to be a nice experience since it was my first time traveling with one of the kids on my own.

Lake Las Vegas
We did one of the tours.....it was pretty neat
Lake Mead side of Hoover Dam. The white line on the rock
is where the water level used to be. I think it's about
13 feet down from normal levels.
Ashton was having some play time with Johnny's toys

Always so happy after his bath!

Johnny in his new COW Boots


Alex was playing his guitar and Johnny decided he was going to "play" too

Ashton was so happy sitting in the highchair while I got ready for the day

Johnny and all his drool......

Aunt Sheila held Ashton like this for at least 30 minutes until he fell asleep

Johnny was playing this time.....he has the pick in his hand!
