Summer Update...again

I don't know why I've had such a hard time keeping up with blogging this summer, but I have! Here's a little update of what we've been doing:
A few weeks ago, my friends and I dressed up and went to a Breaking dawn release party. Are we lame or what? haha We went to Claim Jumper first to eat, then went to a Barnes & Noble where they had all sorts of activities. I finished the book last week, and it was okay. A little too long for me, so I'm happy to have it done!

We've been playing at the park, and I started tennis lessons again

Weeeeeeeeee!


A few weeks ago, Mike & Lindsay came into town for a visit. They got a room at the JW Marriott, so we joined them for dinner and then went swimming. The next night Lindsay and I met and went to see MaMa Mia.


Lexi & Kaitlyn


Our special little guy! haha
Here's a picture from their visit in June. We met them at Mandalay Bay for dinner then hung out at their suite at the MGM. So fun!
The weekend of Aug 8th we took a very quick trip to Utah. We got to Provo after midnight Friday night. Saturday we drove up to Heber to meet our friends from Indianapolis. We spent the day with the Gibbs and McKees. We shopped in Park City and swam at an awesome pool in Kamas. That night we got sitters and met up at Tucanos for dinner, shopped at Riverwoods, and went to see Hancock. It was so fun to see them again! Sunday we went up to Wildwood to see Paxman relatives and visit, then we had dinner at my parents' house with some of my family and had to pack up and drive back to Vegas. On the way home we stopped for our first time at Fort Cove and took the little tour, and sadly that is the only time I took pictures the whole weekend! We had a great time, but I don't think we'll do a trip to Utah for that short of a time again!


Here in Vegas we've been doing a lot of swimming, and Lexi is starting to swim on her own. Here's a little video of it:



That's about it for now!

Welcome Home Elder Luszeck!

Two weekends ago we went to California to see Jeff's family, especially his brother, Tyler, who had just returned from a mission to South Africa. It was so fun to see him again and have him meet Jackson for the first time. It was a quick trip (Friday night - Sunday night), but we had a great time.

Saturday Jeff's parents were nice to take the kids shopping for toys so me, Jeff, Reid, and Tyler could go see Batman. It was awesome!
Amber, Macie, Lexi, and I went to the nail salon. Lexi got her first manicure and pedicure, and she was in heaven!

Lexi actually sat still the whole time!

She got pink with white polka dots.

Saturday evening we all went to a park and had dinner. Here are Jackson and Gavin. Jackson and Macie
Uncle Reid bought the kids ice cream
Jackson had a total break down when Jeff took his ice cream away!
That night we went to a dance festival put on by the youth from 12 stakes. This week there is an article about it in Church News.

It was quite impressive when all 2,600 of the dancers ran in to the stadium!

We spent most of our spare time having Guitar Hero battles! So fun!
Sunday we went to church and heard Tyler speak, then we had lunch and had to drive home.
