ROAD TRIP



Happy Easter! Carter and I took a road trip To Las Vegas to watch my not so little brother play basketball! Vegas and Easter just go together. many people make it a habit of actually going to church on Easter... my family. well we took a different route...most of my childhood memories of celebrating Easter were spent in a Las Vegas hotel room, or motor home watching my older brothers play in the Easter Classic Basketball tournament. So we figured what better way than to keep tradition and be there again for Ryan! Astoundingly, the Easter Bunny was STILL able to find us!!

Ryan is a true champion! Anyone who hasn't seen him play ball yet... you need to! He lead his team to win First place in their division, he was a key player at critical times and scored a couple 3 pointers for me! All this while being sick! (they found out when they got home that he had some kind of bronchitis!) They lost by 2 pts in the top bracket of the tournament by a team from Jamaica man!

Unfortunately, I don't have any pics during the games because I was using my mom's camera for that.. but Saturday after the games, we went off the strip to the Las Vegas Temple. The temple there is beautiful! we had such a nice time relaxing and wandering around the temple grounds.










There were beautiful flowers there. I kept falling behind because I'd stop to take so many pictures.





I love this picture! I actually just framed a larger copy of it. It looks really good :) ... maybe I should submit it to the New Era?? what do you think? Ha ha...

I am so happy you have been reactivated into blogging :) I love your photos. With you and Jen and Torie...I think we have some serious photo skills in our genes.

it's always fun to see what you two are doing. I am jealous of how close you are to the ocean. All I have wanted to do this week is go to the beach.
