Reunited and it Feels So Good!

The stars aligned perfectly in my universe and ALL of my sisters were in Vegas at the same time!!!  IT WAS FABULOUS!!!  Jennie and Zach were doing college tours up in Utah and then came down to Vegas to see us too.  Alli came down for a visit just for fun if I remember right.  Is it so sad that I literally can't remember if she had another reason!?!  Oh well - I remember that we were all here together and that was fabulous!!!

We pulled some of the kiddos out of school and hit up Cafe Rio.  Alli wasn't here yet for this picture.  It was so fun having the older boys come and be able to really visit and interact like real adults.  Way easier than the days when they were all toddlers together!
Alli loves breakfast food.  Colton made her some french toast while she was here.
Alli came and watched Colton's basketball game.  I love this picture!  

Tristan and Jayden didn't have anything that they were participating in when Alli was here but she made sure to snap a cute picture with them too.
Logan had a basketball tournament while they were here.  Alli, Rob, and Jennie all got to come watch a game or two.  It's always fun having support!

We did a sister's night out.  We went out to a delicious dinner.
Then we thought it would be fun to go down and take a picture in front of the Las Vegas sign.  I love this picture!  I printed it out and have it in my house.
While we were on the strip we decided to go to the Bellagio and see the water fountains too.  We were driving on Las Vegas Boulevard and the fountains were going.  We all jumped out and left Leslie in the car by herself.  She definitely flipped us off - it was worth it!


I love my sisters so much!  Being able to spend some time with just the four of us was so nice.  We talked, giggled, relaxed, and just enjoyed being together.
While we went out the boys all hung out at our house.  They did go do a few things before just chilling on the couch.  
Aunt Laurie hosted a get together for all of the Sutton family while they were in town.  The Sutton's are always so mellow to hang out with.  
See here are the boys doing Pole Position while we were at dinner.  I am not going to take the time to put this next set up pictures in order.  They are here and that is enough!

Look at all of these adorable boy cousins!!!  
To end our sister's night we went to a place called Cinnaholic for dessert.  They have these insanely delicious and fattening cinnamon rolls.  Yummy!

The Bellagio fountains minus Leslie  - she was definitely just driving around while we watched.  Bahaha!
We played lots of games while everyone was in town.  
Alli braided Logan's hair.  Sexy!
And then Colton put his in a ponytail.  Aren't these so masculine!?!
Alli always gets in some good cuddle time with the kids while she is here.
Leslie wanted some vinyl cut so she helped me weed.  They make fun of me for wearing this headlamp because it is so geeky looking but it makes weeding the vinyl sooooooo much easier!  So I had to make sure that I got a picture of Leslie sporting the headlamp.
Brayden doesn't cuddle so Alli settled for a picture with the scooters.  Isn't she tough looking?
We ended up doing a little bit of crafting for everyone while they were here.  I always love doing some good crafts!
Alli always goes to her favorite sushi restaurant while she is in town.  Leslie and I went with her.  It was delicious!!!

One day we all sat down and just watched This Is Us together.  Seriously don't you just love that show!?!  I cry and laugh and smile all the time when I watch it.  
Alli spent some time outside with Brayden.  This is Brayden's version of quality time - he rides his bike and you read a book or just sit there and watch them.  
I am so glad that we got to be reunited for a brief period of time!

Brayden Saville High Flyer

Brayden received the Saville High Flyer Award.  It's basically Student of the Month.  Logan was home for school for the presentation so I had him come with me.  
Brayden looked so extremely uncomfortable up there receiving his award.
Here is the whole group that received the High Flyer Award that day.
His math teacher Mrs. Christensen was the one that gave him the award.  Here is what she had to say about him.

Aladdin

Jayden is trying to decide what activities he wants to participate in.  He says he is simply just not the sports kind of kid so we have been experimenting with all sorts of other options.  I told him that I love lots of things besides sports and I am happy to support him in whatever he wants to do.  

We decided to give Hollywood Kids a try.  They put on musicals.  You sign your kid up and then they audition for a part in the play that they are putting on.  Each week they practice their parts.  At the end they put on a play.  Jayden was in Aladdin.  He was one of the guards.  He did an awesome job!!!  The practices were a little boring for him so he did not want to keep going for the next play but he had fun trying it out anyways.









I helped out with ticket sales during the play one night.  David's brother Cory used to do Hollywood Kids.  I found some old pictures of him on the wall and snapped a few pictures to send to Cory.  We used to go watch Cory back in the day when he performed.





Scott came and watched his performance.
Aunt Leslie did too.
We celebrated his success with ice cream after the play.


David was with Logan and Colton at Colton's talent show but Brayden came to the play with me.
