Photos from Vegas

The hardest part about being here in Okinawa is not being able to see my parents and my brothers. So it goes without saying that I had the best time of my life while visiting my family in Vegas. The best part is we don't really do anything. We just sit around and talk and laugh, even when we're not talking it's great just being around them. It's like I walk into my parents house, I hear my nieces running around, I see my brothers in the livingroom, I smell good food cooking in the kitchen and I'm instantly happy and warm inside. So here are my favorite pictures of my favorite people during my favorite part of our trip back to the states!!!
Enjoy!!
Here are my girls and my niece JJ on our way to Circus Circus.


Leaving with our spoils!!
Charlie, her cousins JJ & LaLa and Uncle JT showing us their moves before Chuck E Cheese.


Mmm, mmm, good...

My nephew Chance- the latest addition to the clan and the only boy.
Is he not the cutest thing you've ever seen?

When Chance was born I could not get over how much he looked like Sierra, which I guess makes sense because my older brother and I look a lot alike. Even still it tripped me out when I looked at him and saw a little brown skinned version of my baby. I wondered if the resemblance would still be there after 6mos...
It still trips me out!
Here they are getting to know each other.


I tried to snap a few photos of all the grandkids smiling- or at least looking- at the camera.

Yeah, that's pretty much impossible.

On the first Saturday of every month Home Depot does arts and crafts for kids (that's any Home Depot in the country for you moms out there). Marcus and I took the girls to make planters and plant flowers.
As always, Sierra chose blue and Charlie chose Pink.
When doing things like this with a near 2yr old, you can NOT expect to come home clean!!!

SiSi and her friend Malachi.


Since this was the first time in a long time my parents got to see all of their children and all of their grandchildren together, we decided to take some pictures- LOTS of pictures!

The Thomas men.


My parents with the Grandchildren.

Where's Sierra you ask? She was too busy getting stuck in Chance's walker to be bothered with our silly photos.


The original Thomas Clan.
All of our additions.

This is Charlie's idea of personal space.

Last but not least, me and my Supers!
