Time Out

Charlie had to sit in time out because he couldn't get his self control. Marshall found Hank keeping him company.

LasVegas Airport

These are the last of our LasVegas pictures. We came home on December 30th, and I really think Charlie and Hank enjoyed the Las Vegas airport as much as the trip itself.

Hank pulled his own suitcase too

- sometimes not so helpful

Laurel & Brayden's Wedding

Newlyweds!!!!!

To see more pictures go to Laurel's flickr page.

Johnny Rockets

Charlie wore his hat all day long. He even put his hat on top of his perfectly styled curls after I dressed him for the wedding.

Hank had so much fun that he fell asleep after Johnny Rockets. They rode the gondolas in the Venetian next, but Hank slept through it in Marshall's arms.

Things we liked about Vegas: (the list is in no particular order)

*Watching "Jersey Boys"

*Charlie recommends the monorail

*the remote controlled drapes in our room

*the incredible view and HUGE picture window in our room

*Charlie and Hank highly recommend the TV in the bathroom where they enjoyed "Curious George" while they took bubble baths.

*the volcano eruption at the Mirage

*Brayden's family was really kind and genuine

*hanging out in the limo with the wedding couple - Cheers!

Things we are not so fond of in Vegas:

*the 3 hour time change (Hank was up every morning by 5)

*cost of food was quite expensive

*going through security with toddlers

Watch Out LasVegas. We have arrived!

Hank enjoyed the landscaping at Caesars Palace.

On Monday, we walked a long, long, long, long way

.

Charlie's favorite part of the trip was the monorail. He rode it all morning long with Marshall while we got dressed, and he got to ride it back to our hotel. We all rode with him at the end of the day. Our feet were tired. I don't think Gaga could've walked another step. Her feet HURT.

Well, we almost made it bak to the hotel. Charlie, Hank, Brittany, Marshall, and I stopped at the Mirage to watch the volcano erupt. Charlie loved it. "It had smoke and fire. It was AMAZING!" Hank was more interested in the lights around him.

Watching "Curious George" while they take a bubble bath. Living the life!

The beautiful glass display at the Bellagio.

We're Flying!!!

On Saturday, as we are picking up the house and packing, Charlie was just precious.

Charlie: Mommy are you going to Laurel's wedding?

Me: Yes, Charlie. I'm going and daddy and Hank and Gaga and Pappy and Brittany are all going to the wedding.

Charlie: Ummm . . . Is Brayden going to be at Laurel's wedding?

Me: Yes, Charlie, Brayden is going to be at the wedding. Laurel and Brayden are getting married.

Riding the tram in the airport after we have finally made it through check-in, security, bathroom break, security again for Marshall and Charlie (after they got out of the line to go to the restroom.), and a brief check of Marshall's bag. I almost forgot, a Hank meltdown when his blanket had to go through X-Ray. We survived with the help of Gaga, Pappy, and Brittany!

Hold on Hank!

Time for take-off!

About two hours into the four hour flight,

Charlie: Ok, I'm ready to go outside now.

Me: Charlie, I thought you wanted to go fly on a plane?

Charlie: I just wanted to go on a little one. Let's go outside now.

We made it with only minor disturbances. Hank finally fell asleep 20 minutes before landing. Although he was relatively good for the flight, I'm sure everyone was thinking, "The baby couldn't have gone to sleep four hours ago?" Oh, well!

Laurel & Brayden's Wedding

Charlie was a perfect gentleman but Hank was totally 18 months old. I would've taken him out except we were given strict instructions not to stand up. I would've even left before it started, but it happened so fast I couldn't get up and out before it started. Click here to watch the wedding of Laurel Manross & Brayden Knell.
