Vegas Get-away

"But I don't want to go back home!"

It was just a 'last minute trip', but we decided to head to Vegas for the weekend! Our main goal was to spend some time with Grandma/Grandpa "K", but unfortunately Parker was sick and didn't want to expose him to Grandpa as he is going through Radiation treatment. So, we made the best of it, and enjoyed some family time at the park, pool, and arcade. We even braved taking Kensley to her first 'real' movie (Tangled...sooo cute!), and she did excellent! We put the kids in "Kids Quest" one night to enjoy an 'adult dinner', but actually went to pick the kids up early and got some ice cream :)! Since we were in Vegas, why not do a little betting on the football playoff games as well (both Scott and I missed our parlay by 1 point!! Thanks Jets!!). Good times, and looking forward to April when we are taking the whole Vincent Team Staff with us!!

Game On!

We've started a 'game night' that we try and do as a family one night per week (a 'family home evening night' if you will). The first game to play, Jenga! Parker is so much like me in that he absolutely hates the stress of the possibility of the Jenga tower falling! He can't even watch (as seen in the picture above). Also was fun just playing with my new camera! Still haven't quite figured out all the components, etc. but having fun playing with it!

Mr. Intense just like his daddy!

Ahhh! Stress...I can't even watch!

My Little Kensley

Kensley likes getting her picture taken almost as much as I like taking pictures (especially with my new camera I got for Christmas...thanks honey!). She loves to pose, and then has to run and see herself in the play back. Thankfully someone in the family enjoys getting their picture taken...with the boys I now have to bribe them with a special treat just to get a (fake) smile out of them! She is truly such a blessing to me! There is not a day that goes by that I don't laugh about something that she does or says, and when she says "I love you toooooo" when I put her to bed at night, it just melts my heart! I love my boys too, but lately they just want to go wrestle with each other, and play 'star wars' with daddy...so I am enjoying having my little girl to sit on my lap and brush barbies hair :)!

Cabin Fever

Kens not happy to come in

A few weeks ago we headed up to our cabin to relax and play in the snow. Though I wasn't able to do anything fun because I'm still healing from my surgery, I was able to read, hang out, and of course, take lots of pictures. The kids tried out snow shoeing for the first time---a little hard for just one adult to help. The boys also tried out the new sleds, and had fun riding around on snow mobiles and the Ranger. We even some a family of moose right above the cabin! Always nice to get away---let us know when you want to join us :)!
