Visitors!

Last week we were lucky enough to have KayLynn and family (even Dave) come and spend the week with us. After they came I think they were wondering why...it was hotter than you-know-where here and as soon as we stepped foot outside we just wanted to run back in. We loved having them here and hopefully the heat will fade in their memories so they'll come back and see us again someday. The girls spent plenty of time in the pool cooling off (I sat on the side with the baby sweating to death). I'm pretty sure swimming was the the highlight of their whole trip.

We were so excited to have Ellie spend her 9th b-day with us. It was a really fun day and I'm just amazed what a sweet and beautiful young lady she's becoming.

For Ellie's 'party', we took the girls to Color Me Mine and let them paint pottery. Here is a picture of their finished products. So fun!

Sadie thought it would be fun to put Avery in the doll stroller. I thought it was cute...I texted Dan a picture and he thought it was too scary. Good thing I got a picture because I don't think Dan will let her have any more rides :)

Thursday we took the kids to the splash park (as I said..the only way to be outside is if there's water involved). Aren't these two so cute!!

Poor baby was so sweaty and hot...but too little to get in the water. Maybe next year.

I made KayLynn take a picture of me with the baby because they are few and far between. I know I'm all sweaty and it was super windy, but at least there's proof I was there!

After the park we took the crew to Bellagio to see their foyer display and watch the fountain show. Amazing (as always)!!

I love Syd's face as she's reaching for the water. Can a face look more mischievous than hers?

The Bellagio (in my opinion) is the only place on the strip worth taking the kids to. So beautiful! Thanks for coming Wheeler family...we love you! Please come again (Sept-May are actually fairly pleasant here). Do you believe me?! :)

So fun to have company come visit! Wish I could snuggle that little girl of yours. Even though she's tiny you can see the family resemblance. Good looking family.
