Liam and LOVE

Liam's 5th blasted birthday!  quit it!  quit getting old!!
B-fast in bed, family tradition since I was little...
luckily we got in there before he woke up...little sucker:)
Liam is a sweet, snugly, playful little one with big dark eyes. 
 i love him dearly. he melts my heart most days yet seems to be the one that listens the least when i'm telling him to "clean up his animals"!


grandma D sent this funny shirt...and he got a whole hoop-la of other STUFF from her and other grandmas!>
yes the car seat was a gift.  he was way excited about it. ..come-on!

marty carving the shark...scary shark, for the par-tae! 
no parties next year.  all partied out.  sorry charlie.

me and ruby teaching the boys about sharks...
lots of interesting facts i hope they retained! ha!

there were 3 more boys not pictured.
crazy group.  ruby fit right in and led the pack in all the water games...
you can hardly see her in the back, she just blends right in, size-wize too!

marty and i finally celebrated our {10th}!! year of marriage.
it was in june but we just went this last weekend to *lake las vegas*
its far away from the strip, really quiet and relaxing...
{{shout out to ricki for watching our kids! thank you!!!}}
the first night there in our resort we sat in the hot tub forever,
surrounded by palms and beautiful weather.

we ate out at some really good places.
lunch was at *settebello* in henderson- WAY good
very authentic italian pizza and yummy salad...
 and we got a  sweet vanilla bean cream w/strawberry balsamic topping to share after.
highly recommend to anyone in the area.
for dinner we met up with some good friends whom we haven't seen in way too long
jim and marty grew up together, i love these guys:)

we went to Beattles LOVE that night at the mirage..
i REALLY liked it. marty,-not so much-
he felt like we needed to be 'high' on something to even understand it
what?!  come-on!
i was thoroughly entertained and thought it was fun.

the surroundings to our resort...
GREAT R & R. 
muchly needed.
we went and came as we pleased
took a nap mid-day, went to a movie at an odd hour{bourne legacy} -very good. btw
ate and showered whenever and however we wanted...NO diaper changing!
one thing we planned to do but didn't-Vegas Temple.....
 

bye two night get-a-way!
see you next year, but probably in a different location, and maybe a bit longer!
everyone needs you !!

The shark party was the best. I loved that you made it educational too. The shark watermelon was way more creative than I imagined. All I can say about your getaway is that the place looks really great. I'm so glad you got away and got some time to yourselves and some rest. Love you guys.
