A taste of "Sheer" Bliss!

It was so wonderful having the Sheers come to visit. They are such a cute family. We appreciate their efforts in driving many hours to get to us. We had an amazing time together!

We had an exciting day at Zion's National Park. Curtis was able to take a day off and we pulled the kids out of school. I am so glad that we went. It was beautiful. I have never seen it like this before. The fall colors added so much to the great looking peaks. It was breathtaking! We enjoyed a picnic and leasurly hike. Isn't it great to be outdoors?!

We hiked on the trail of "weeping rock". Isn't this a neat shot of the sun poking through?

Oh, why can't I stay under the water? Corbin loved standing under the drops of water so he was very sad to leave. Carter was running up and down the path which made Evey laugh! I absolutely love red in the fall so I had to capture these beautiful leaves with our cute Emmy

COUSIN FUN:

Carter LOVES his baby cousin Berkley! She was such a good sport in letting the kids hold her. Corbs and Ella chilin' Run boys run! Corbin had fun running in circles with the big boys in our basement. What a cutie! Evey looks like a giant next to Berks! We've got the giggles!

VIVA LAS VEGAS! It was so fun to have a girls night out with my sis and little niece. We had an amazing time shopping at numerous stores. Our last destination was Ross and we were pleased to learn that they didn't close until 11 vegas time which meant midnight our time. We took full advantage of it...good thing we are both night owls! I feel bad that Chelsea didn't really get to see the strip but I think the success of her purchases made up for it! This was at the start of our shopping trip. We were pumped! Off to find some great deals. Chelsea had it all planned and mapped out for us. I love it when someone else is in charge...even though she was my guest. Girls just wanta have fun! Berkley was an amazing shopper. She basically smiled and slept. There was absolutely no crying. What a girl. I just LOVE her! We literally shopped till we dropped. This photo was taken at 2 in the morning on our family room floor. I wasn't much help to Chels on the way home. I was falling asleep as she was driving. What a trooper! Andrew was a dear to watch our children while Chelsea and I shopped in Vegas. He played some board games with them. The kids LOVE him. What a fun uncle. Curtis came home later to help out for dinner and bedtime. Our trip ended with a yummy dinner at the Golden Corral that the Sheers treated us to. Thanks guys! We were soooooo sad to see them leave. We all went through Sheer withdrawls. When are you guys coming back?!
