Family Pictures

We decided to start off our spring vacation with updated family pictures.

This is the one we ordered, however we might be getting more later!

Family Getaway!

So this week Keira got to truly experience her first mini vacation.  She was so eager to to fly on an airplane, especially after watching the cartoon Caillou where he goes on a plane ride.

Enjoying some juice on the plane to Las Vegas!

Once we got to the hotel and got our things settled, we decided to head on over to In and Out Burgers that was near our Hotel.

This was one happy girl eating her lunch!

After that we decided to do what the tourist do and walk around.

Keira LOVED going to Excalibur and seeing the castle!

Then we went on to the Luxor and took in some sites.

Later it was back to the room.  This is where Keira spent most of her time watching the roller coaster come by.

See the tiny coaster crawling up the hill.

Another smile by our 8th story window.

Our next stop was the M and M store!  

We had a great time looking at all of the M and M stuff on 4 floors!

Happy shoppers smiling with our Hotel: NY  NY in the background.

The next day, while Daddy was in his meeting, we went and did a little more site seeing.

Keira asked to take her picture with the M and M store in the background.

Next it was time for lunch at The Rain Forest Cafe

Getting ready to go into the restaurant.

Waiting for the food to come out.  Keira was ready to leave quickly.  She wasn't sure if the animals were real or not.

Another view of our hotel (& Mr. Monkey.  He was Keira's protector while walking everywhere.)

So after another brief rest, we walked down to the Bellagio to see the water show.

Happy smiles!

I think this was one of our most favorite parts of the trip!  We absolutely enjoyed watching the water show.

There was a slight breeze and we even felt the mist of the water reach us toward the end of the show.

After show smiles!

Before we knew it, we were back on the plane ready to go home!

Our trip was fun, but there's no place like home!

Our Newest Photographer!

Keira has really taken to the camera.  She is actually getting pretty good at taking pictures.  It really made me laugh while going through our camera and seeing all of the pictures she had recently taken to include a lovely picture of our scented plug in.  Anyway, here are a bunch of random pictures taken around the house this month.

Here's Keira all decked out in her own workout clothes!  

She's ready to do Zumba!

Big girl knows how to work the Wii now.

Showing off her new outfit!

Being a musician!

Showing off a Valentine's Day Dress.

Guess Daddy must have taken this one.

Here's a self portrait!

I don't know about this girl!

In this one she actually said, "Take a picture of my eyes closed."

Singing for a picture.

Being so silly!

So sill jumping in a picture.

She thought it was funny to put this wash cloth on her head.  She asked me to go take a picture.

Another silly moment.

LOOK AT ME!!!

Happy New Year!

Well it was a quiet but nice New Year's Day for us.  We decided to make cinnamon rolls from this blog here.  We went to bed before the New Year arrived and welcomed 2012 to cinnamon rolls for breakfast.

Keira had lots of fun putting the ingredients in the bowl and stirring it up!

Happy New Year!
