New Hoover Dam bridge. This picture doesn't do it justice. It is scary big.

Crazy cousins. They had a blast together.

...We spent a fun 4 days in Vegas a few weeks ago with the Schroeder's. Adam always has a trade show around this time of year which, for me, means a visit to see my sister's family. Yay! Shopping, eating out, playing at some really fun parks, singing with Cyd in sacrament {When we got done singing Noah said in a loud voice "Mommy that was beauiful. That was beauiful, Mommy!" The people sitting around us loved it more than our song, I think.}, letting the kids get caught up, movie watching, seeing the volcano at the Mirage {Kyle LOVED this, Noah not so much} and just plain chillackin' were all on the docket.

Just like her brothers, Megan's eyes get red when she eats something she particularly enjoys.

...Megan is growing like a weed and is almost 9 months old. She sleeps through the night pretty well, is still her Mommy's biggest fan and yes, still dislikes strangers holding her or really anyone that is not Adam or I. She'll give you sweetest smile but no touchy!

She has run fevers twice this month but with nothing else happening. I hope this doesn't become habitual.

She is really getting smart. She likes to wave, push buttons, smile, suck her thumb and eat...anything. Although, fruit makes her gag. ???

...Kyle is enjoying school and doing really well. He went off track for the first time last month. His teacher gave him a big packet to take home and do during the off time. He had it finished in an hour. Yay for a kid that likes school and doesn't take after his Kindergarten sluffing Mama. It's been really fun to watch him learn to read and write. He's also been improving his art skills. Lately he can sit and draw or color for a couple of hours. He NEVER did this before. Now he finds great satisfaction in creating art with paper and crayon. He's into mazes and dot to dot as well.

...Noah is making us laugh all the time. He has a laugh that can only be described as a "yuk, yuk" kind of laugh. He loves to make others laugh and tries hard at it with his non-sensical knock, knock jokes. He misses Kyle everyday he goes and school and is anxious to go pick him up. {What is going to happen next year when Kyle is in school ALL day?} He loves his pajamas. He always wants to eat. And is just a sweet boy.
