A Quick Trip to Las Vegas

Since I had 2 weeks off I knew I wanted to take Nolan down to Las Vegas to see my family since they don't get to come up very often. At first it was just going to be Nolan and I since Justin has been so busy at work, but when he decided he wanted to talk to Preston about a work opportunity and found out that Devin would also be coming with the kids, he decided to make the trip with us. Yay!!

We just think it's always worth it to get these cute cousins together. I have always been really close with my cousins and, in contrast, Justin didn't really have any cousins nearby, so getting together with family is really important to us.

Swimming at Uncle Beej and Aunt Kirsten's house. They even heated the pool for us! It was like bathwater - the only way (well Justin especially) knows how to swim!
*pictures to come ☺*

Fun on the swings at the park!

Rhett and Nolan

Nolan sporting his super cute Cougar hat

Eating lunch. Ya, I realized not long after this that it wasn't such a good idea to let him wear the beloved hat while eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. While I wasn't looking he took the hat off with his peanut butter covered hands and set it on top of his mangled sandwich. I might have gotten in a bit of trouble with Justin for that one ☺ Justin - "What were you thinking?!" hehe

Nolan and Rhett's first fight

Cute boys all ready for church

Telling Gp Mathews something important about the lesson I'm sure

Dog pile on Uncle Preston!

Uncle Andy is always a hit with the kids (well, everyone. He's just awesome)

Birthday cake for Devin and a surprise baby announcement!! Baby Mathews #3 is coming in September!

My dad had a red spot on his ear and Nolan thought he'd check it out

Using Granky to get to the other side of the couch. He loved smiling at Granky, but he usually had to be about a foot away haha, silly kid.

Bedtime stories with daddy

Watching the Lego Movie with Uncle Beej

Giving Granky a hug goodbye. I wish I would have gotten a video :( I love how Nolan's 'hugs' are basically him putting his little forehead against you. So sweet!

We met up with my Gm and Gp Hunt and Andy at their new house in Hurricane. My Aunt Paula joined us and we all went out to lunch. Nolan was seriously cute in that Cougar hat slurping up a chocolate shake!
