Swimming can lead to an ER visit

The pictures below are of Trevi at her swimming lessons which she seems to enjoy. The following pictures are of her recent and our first ER visit due to splitting her chin open at the pool. Thankfully this did not happen at swimming lessons but instead at the gym pool. We are happy she is ok and lets hope there are no more ER visits in our future.








She's a little obsessed with her Moana takeaways from the bday party in Pittsburgh

Daddy met us at the ER and stayed until he had to start another case

Trying to talk to her about what is about to happen... for the record it did not go well.
The thought of stitches was very scary to her.

trying to distract her

It was so scary that we ended up having to give her some medication to calm her way down and then restrain her for the actual stitches part. It was very emotional for everyone but we are thankful for the nurse and doctors there taking care of us

Home and resting

Surprise!!

A birthday invitation, cheap airline tickets, friends across the country and kids who travel well was the perfect combination to head to Pittsburgh last weekend to surprise Meg and Jules!  We received a birthday invitation for her daughter's 5th birthday party and well, we wanted to go too. I found direct roundtrip tickets to Pittsburgh from Vegas for $79 so we hopped on a plane and showed up! The looks on their faces was priceless and so much fun to experience!

Trevi got Jules a solar dancing cat just like hers for her birthday!

Playing at the airport before we leave!

All ready to go!

We arrived to these decorations!!

This is the ultimate Moana birthday party!

Every detail of thought of and so cute!

The 4 kids played non stop and so well!
Digging in the dirt is the best!

Little Hawaiian girls!

Happy to back with my buddy!

Enjoying new birthday presents with friends!

hours of fun!

Moana movie night!

We got a nice Monday morning with all the kids!

Kids always love books!

Nashville and Daddy's Weekend

Sorry about the lack of order of these photos.

Erica and I tackled another coffee fest this past weekend and it was in Nashville! I'm in love with Nashville. It was country music everywhere, delicious coffee at the Frothy Monkey, amazing food and such awesome sister-in-law time! Below are some of our highlights!

Breakfast at Biscuit Love!!!! 

Not the most pretty dish but when biscuits and gravy meets eggs benedict I'm sold!

donuts for breakfast... sure!! They called these bonuts (biscuit meets donuts!)


We somehow landed ourselves in a Gary Allen concert! It was small, we were about 10 feet from him and he is amazing live!


Fountains everywhere!

Trevi's asked her teacher to braid her hair... um, seriously! She is amazing!

I'll never be able to recreate this....

She kept it in for about 4 days!

We love the parks in Henderson


Honkey Tonk Central! 
Every bar is cooler than the next!

Wildhorse Saloon!
It's amazing that every bar and restaurant has live music and they are actually awesome!

My travel gift! Best cappuccino outside of Italy!

We also went to the Grand Ole Opery! 
I think this might be my most favorite thing ever!

Dad took the kids camping while I was gone and they had so much fun!

Oh course Trevi climbed a really big rock.

They also did lots of water shooting!
Thanks Auntie Mich!

Their camp site!

Even though it doesn't rain here the flowers and trees are in full bloom here!

Left and these plants were brown and twigy... came home and they were green!

They look so big on the swings these days!

I'll never tire of the sunrises here!

An awesome performer from the Grand Ole Opery! Go listen!
Also loved Holly Williams "The Highway"

Harvey and I had to head down to the Palazzo for a quick stop and he loved all the decorations!

Looking cute and innocent until I turned around and he was standing in the pool collecting money....

He's obsessed with waterfalls!

First raindrops I've seen since we've been here! Sorry to everyone at home.
