Making Annie Laugh

Entertaining Annie-this is how our best evenings are spent, making Annie laugh.

I don't know why my camera is filming in black and white. One of these days I'll figure it out.

Quad Celebration

The Vegas Quads celebrated their 2nd birthday on Sunday afternoon. We actually crashed their party and came Sunday morning so that we could head back to California before the rush house traffic. Thanks so much for having us. We had so much fun with you and hope to see you soon.

Hanging Out With Our Cousins

My whole family, the Stokes, all came to Vegas to play with us on Saturday. We had so much fun and it really made me wish we lived closer to everyone. Grandma, Grandpa, Rori and Major came first and played for a couple hours before Andy and Tia came. My brother Andy and his wife Tia have two kids. Major is two months younger than the quads and Legend is two weeks younger than Annie.

We all went to Cafe Rio. YUM. My favorite restaurant.  While we were there a guy at the neighboring table told us that he was afraid he was going to get pregnant just by being close to us. Tia and I have 7 kids age 2 and under. I can see why he was scared, HAHA.

After Cafe Rio we went to the park.

After the park we went back to our room and played. Here is Tia with the kids playing spider and sharing her bracelets. My kids love her. They kept looking for teeee-aahhhhhh.

Just a little baby communication. They weigh the same and have 1/2 an inch difference in height. So why does Annie look so much fluffier?

Tubby time. My kids loved this tub. We took a bath everyday.

Andy and Tia ended up staying with us that night. What an adventure it was! Love all the family bonding and hope to do much more.

Bonnie Springs, Old Nevada

The next morning we had some time to kill before GaPa, GaGa and Rori came so we went to the Petting Zoo at Bonnie Springs, Old Nevada. It was about 20 miles from where we were staying, out in the middle of nowhere.

We thought it opened it at 9 but it didn't open til 10 so we had some time to kill.
