Beck and Rhett were pretty excited to see Baby Branson
Doug and Pam came to Preston and Devin's house when they got into town. I'm not sure who had more fun, Nolan or Grandpa Bailey!
I finally got to meet Baby Logan! He's a cutie. Also, it's crazy what a difference 2 months makes in a newborn. Branson looks huge!

And just for fun, here's what the scene looked like 2 years ago in February (when we were all in LV for BJ and Kirsten's wedding).
little Nolan (l) and little Rhett (r)!
It's seriously so fun having all these babies so close in age!
It rained a ton while we were there. Is this Seattle or Las Vegas?!
Saturday evening we went to Kids Club Las Vegas and let the kids run around. They had a blast!
Nolan finally got to try out Wiggle Cars
This might be the only time during the trip that Nolan and Rhett weren't fighting haha.
Gm and Gp Bailey playing air hockey. Apparently Gp always wins ☺
Nolan loves building towers, mostly so he can knock them over.

Somebody's thirsty!
Oh ya, this was how Nolan was eating his dried blueberries. It had to be out of daddy's hand, cookie monster style - complete with his head going from side to side and "nom, nom, nom" noises haha.
Aunt Mallory holding Bran-man
It took about 8 shots to get a semi good picture of the three older boys where they were all together (Nolan kept bolting back into the play area), looking at the camera (sort of) and that wasn't blurry.
Branson was all smiles
After playing we met my parents and Granky at Cafe Rio for dinner. Devin and I were joking that the boys looked like a bunch of teenagers the way they were casually sitting on the table and chatting haha.
Getting into trouble I'm sure.

Sunday was a joyful day as Branson was given a name and a blessing. Justin of course did an amazing job and the Spirit was felt by all. We are so grateful for everyone who attended, especially Pam and Doug who came a long ways just to be there!
Special pictures with Great Grandpa Mathews (aka Granky)
The blessing took place at the chapel I spent all of my teenage years attending, on 8801 W Alexander Rd. in Las Vegas, NV
Now there's a whole 'lotta handsome in this picture!
The Bailey Family
The whole group (minus Daren Stewart who was so sweet and came all the way across town to participate. He said, "there's just something extra special about baby blessings").
The boys had a blast playing in the landscape ☺ Oh, and we were a little surprised to be asked if the boys were triplets haha. No, no, but I can see why they'd think that!
Gp B and Nolan being silly
Oh my gosh, I almost forgot to mention...nursery. We were debating whether we should attempt to take Nolan and Rhett to nursery or if it just wasn't worth it. But our friend Fae is the nursery leader and we're always up for torturing her (just kidding Fae!) so we thought we'd give it a shot. Apparently Rhett was an absolute angel and the only notable thing with him was when he got a little nervous when he was cornered by a little girl (our high school friends, Will and KT Scarlett's, daughter) haha. Nolan however, was a different story. He was the terror of the nursery and was, of course, trying to push Rhett and and steal toys from him the.whole.time :\. I guess at one point he even knocked over a table? Oey, kid. So embarrassing ☺ But Fae still seemed to have a good time with them in there so I guess it worked out haha.
We headed back home on Monday afternoon. Nolan was really being a pill before we left, but we were sure it was mostly because he was just really tired (bed times always seem to end up much later on vacation ☺). We gave him some milk and he was asleep before he could even finish it! So he sat in his carseat with a partial bottle of milk right next to him. We thought about reaching back and grabbing it, but didn't for whatever reason (laziness?). Plus, we've left his bottle in his bed all night long and he's never tried to drink it in the morning so we weren't too worried.
Oops! He woke up in the middle of the Nevada desert and drank some multiple hours old milk. Blech!! I didn't realize it until I heard him stirring, looked back, and he kind of gagged. Then a minute later he gagged some more and started throwing up! Poor guy! We pulled over and tried to clean him and the seat up as best we could.
He enjoyed the phone while mom cleaned up the back seat. Luckily it wasn't too bad, and he really just needed to get it out and then he was fine (well, mostly, by the time we got home it had come out the other end as well :( Poor guy!)
Besides that one little mishap (that was no one's fault except maybe mom and dad's) the boys were absolute champs in the car! No crying and we only had to make one long stop in Cedar City to get gas and food and get the wiggles out. Nolan was so excited about the BIG McDonald's in CC ♥
