Epic Spring Break Staycation - 2022

 We spent our spring break being tourists and enjoying what Vegas has to offer. It was a week filled with fun and lots of memories made!


The week started off big with the biggest bounce house in the world! We went two years ago when Niko was still in the sling. This year was incredible with all of us getting to play full blast.

One of my favorite days as a mom. This was such a blast.




Walking away from the time of our lives.
Like a boss.

We enjoyed some quiet friend time, too.

Alexander helped me finish painting the boys' bathroom 

Sleepover with his bestie

Zachary's birthday party

Niko LOVES. a birthday!

Nikolai is coming so far with swimming! I think we will get him solo swimming soon.  He does excavator scoops, kicks his legs, and keeps his booty up, but likes to have a noodle (or Aly's back!) for support

We did the most amazing hike! It was very challenging and took most of the day. The reward was beautiful views, a jump into frigid waters of the Colorado River, and then warming up in natural hot springs. Have I mentioned I love Vegas?

Niko loves his puzzles

We got to celebrate our sweet friend, Owen, with a super special guest!



Our spring break ended with the biggest day of the year, Easter! Christ is Risen!




This three mean everything to me!

Papa Comes to Town!!

 With Covid, we don't get to see Papa near as much as we hoped we would while living in Vegas, but when we do, we make the most of it!

The boys were so excited to have their Papa here


The weather was gorgeous so we spent almost all of our time outside.  The pool is still (way) too cold for swimming, but that didn't stop us from enjoying the rest of our yard.


When we needed a splash, we walked up to the neighborhood splash pad around the corner.




Here's to seeing you again soon, Papa!!!
