So. Cal for a quick winter get-away!

A few days in Las Vegas with these guys...

Spaghetti dinner....

We were all sitting around the table talking

after dinner

when we noticed Summer cleaning up the children's table.

She was in heaven.

The Dallas Hills!

I had a great time

celebrating

Gavin's 9th birthday in Dallas.

First goal of the new year....check!

My fist goal of the new year was to clean the storage room.

I enlisted the help of Sarah.....

and these two.....

We had about 80...

20 year old 2 liter bottles filled with water.

They carried them...one by one...

up all the stairs.

They tried carrying 2 at a time

because

"they are so smart!" (according to Brady)

Child labor...?

and now the storage room looks blurry and clean!

We even have a few empty shelves.

Feels good.
