DAY 1-March 17
We headed off to Henderson Nevada to spend time with family that moved there last year.
This picture cracks me up! I don't know why she has a mad face, but it makes me laugh
Licorice is a must on a road trip.
Proof that I exist! We were doing everything we could think of to entertain ourselves on the way.
Chloe was entertaining herself
We had St Patrick's Day dinner at In N Out. It was so good as always
DAY 2 - March 18
We stayed the night in Beaver UT and hit the road first thing in the morning.
I bought a treat for the kids when we got gas.
Cody thought they looked more like a topless pregnant lady
Mason was mad because he had to sit at the table with us. He kept running into the parking lot and we didn't want his squashed like a bug.
Chloe tried to climb the pole
Gavin was playing hot lava
We met up with Savannah and Eric and headed to Zion's National Park
Zion's!!
Chloe asked to carry the backpack with all the snacks. It didn't last very long.

After our hike Chloe started playing in the water to cool her feet off.
Her brothers thought it was a fabulous idea and joined her
My awesome kiddos
Shoes : )
These turkeys were near where we parked the van. Cody had to look at them so we all ended up watching them and listening to them gobble.
We made it to Henderson!!
Gavin and baby Eloise
The boys had a sleep over the first night.
Isaiah, Mason, Evan and Gavin
DAY 3 - March 19
We met at our hotel and went swimming, but they don't heat there pools there and they were pretty chilly.
The boys would swim for a bit and then warm up in the sun before getting back in the pool.
Showering superheroes
Always a clown!

DAY 4 - March 20
He got a fortune cookie with his breakfast. It says, "A gathering of friends brings you lots of luck this evening." It was completely fitting because tonight is his birthday party.

Flying Baby
Fry kids at the Las Vegas Temple
Never a serious picture with these guys
When I do get a normal smile I have photo bombers
I set the timer and then ran to get in the picture. I ended up slipping off the ledge but luckily Jason caught me and it wasn't too far down

Gavin wanted to take some pictures too and he wanted one with mom in it. Awww
We couldn't find Chloe for a minute and then we realized she was in the stroller
Brothers: Connelly and Cody
And the moment the boys have been waiting for....Chuck E. Cheese!!!
Gavin saw a Chuck E Cheese commercial around 2 years ago and has been wanting to go every since so we decided to do their birthday party here. They were SO EXCITED!!!
Mason squealed when he saw the horse and patiently waited for the boy in front of him to be done.
Then he didn't want to get off, he loved it.
We combined Gavin (10), Paisley (3) and Mason's (7) birthdays
I loved the interaction between these guys as we sang to them :)
Can we say excited?!?!
Cowboy stuff
Any guesses what he is into?

Goodbye Vegas, you were fun!

Gavin was a little frustrated with how fragile this was. He was trying to get one big chunk out, but it kept breaking off on him.
The view from the top
Chloe helped me carve a heart
Then she carved her own
She found a HUGE heart for me :)
Taking in being 10 years old
Since it was the big man's birthday we let him chose what to eat for dinner. He wanted pizza and we found "The Pizza Factory" and it was really good!
His other request was we stay at a hotel with a pool so he could swim. We even got wet BEFORE we got in the pool because we had to run through the rain to get there.
Happy 10th Birthday Gavin!!!
We told Gavin he could swim as long as he wanted since it was his birthday, 3 hours later we were regretting saying that. The kids were so wrinkly!!
We had to keep the Vegas vibe going and had to write "Live Nudes" on the window.
DAY 7 - March 23
We ended spring break by driving through a blizzard
