Las Vegas round 2

Posted by Robyn and Steve at 8:48 PM 4 comments

Just wanted to do a few of my favorite random pictures from Vegas!

Grandpa & Hayden at the park!

ha ha ha!!

Yep he is licking a rock! (luckily it is from Gam's

courtyard so I tell myself it is cleaner than a random

rock, right?) you can tell by that naughty little grin

he knows he should not be doing it but he thinks its

so funny when his mom calls him gross!

Ha ha ha!! I locked him out in the courtyard!

(it was only for a second!!) But still funny!!

He looks so sad! He is such a funny guy!

he is at a naughty stage, but also such a fun,

and cute stage! Some days I want to poke my eye

out (like the day I found he had stuffed

his owl down the heat vent!! well that was

actually kind of funny!) But most days

I feel like one lucky lady!!

Late in coming, but....

This is a really late post but, for my own journaling purposes I wanted to do a post on our trip to Las Vegas for Christmas and New Years. We had such a good time and I took a MILLION pictures!!! (so feel free not to read this if you don't want to because there is a LOT of pictures! And this is only a few highlights of the 10 days!)he he he!

the Tater!! He loved having so much freedom and running

around like a crazy person!!

After church! Bet you did not know you can rip gel clings

(you know the things you put on your windows!)

this happens to be Hayd tearing Frosty's Hat!!

(he does not look too sorry does he!!)

Playing the piano with aunt jess! Hayden Loves his

aunt Jess and uncle Rob! He asks for them pretty much

every day! They were SO much help, and we are so lucky to

have them in our life!!

Christmas Morning!

I may be in trouble for posting this one! but I can not resist!! :)

Three generations of Dahl boys in Christmas jams! he he he

Christmas Eve Jams

(Horton Hears a Who!!)

Tater was a real stink pot Christmas Eve!

Lucky for him we did not take it personal (well I

might have a little) :), he

was being a real pill during dinner so we ended

up just putting him

to bed mid way through! my visions of a

great dinner and leaving

cookies out for santa, opening christmas jams

and reading christmas stories were shot!! I learned

a valuable lesson! It is better to just have him go to bed, rather

than try to keep him up for festivities

until he is old enough to get it!! :)

hanging out with dad!

After dinner with Grams & Grandpa!

An AMAZING dinner at the Grand Lux to Celebrate

Rob's Birthday!

Riding in style along the strip! We went down to

check out the new City Center! This is how Hayden

insisted on riding, he kicked off his shoes like 8

times! (luckily grandpa took over pushing, and I walked

ahead pretending I did not know him!) he he he! jk!

oh! Steve-o and I! ;)

(he loves getting his picture taken, can you tell!

he especially likes it when I make him stop

and pose in the midst of large crowds of people!!)

Thanks for humoring me though!

Checking out the fountains from above!

Thanks for everything Grams and Grandpa, and Rob and Jess!! Can not wait to do it again SOON!!

It Nearly Killed Me!!

I swear it really did almost kill me!! Finals!!! They were rough, and felt oh so long!! They took all of my spare time, and I may have even cried once! But we made it through mostly unharmed! I may or may not have been a little nasty to Steve a few times!! (you know how when you are feeling a little sorry for yourself because you feel like all you have done for 3 straight weeks is study and do homework, and your husband innocently says something to the effect of "yeah, I will be glad when your finals are over too!" and then you let lose a string of nastiness such as "oh I am so sorry that MY finals are rough on YOU!! Because let me just say how much I am enjoying them! They are so fun for me! How lucky I am to be able to spend every free moment doing homework! Let me tell you, have you ever had to try and do homework with a 2 yr old!! Because it is not easy!! And if you would get our bloody dryer fixed it would save me a whole lot of time you know!! DO you know how long it takes me to hand dry clothes! I swear all I do is homework and clean! jeez!!" Yeah, you know when you do that, thats what I did...ok so maybe other people do not treat their lovely husbands that way! Lets just say it got ugly folks!:) Luckily I have a patient husband who I think has pretty much learned to tune out my ranting, or at least is willing to accept my apology later!) Luckily that semester is behind me! now on to my last one, which should not be nearly as painful! :) whoot whoot!! And now I finally have a little time to do some blog'n! I have some catching up to do! So stay tuned! :)

Homework with a 2yr old! (yeah, that actually is my real homework!)

on the bright side maybe this early interest means he will be a great

student and not follow after his dear mothers poor scholastic habits! :)

doubt it though! :)

This my friends says it all!! He loved the tree, I thought a little one

will be fine, its good practice to teach him not to touch them so when

we go to Steve's parents for christmas he will already know we don't

touch the tree, you just look with your eyes! HA HA HA!! none of MY

discipling worked! Of course when Steve was home he never touched

it! (which as you can imagine did not help my crankiness!) I would say

no, and as soon as I walked out of the room I could hear the bells

of the ornaments dinging! Urg!! so after he tipped it over for the 10th

time, I packed the whole blasted thing up and put it away! Take that!

that's what I call smart parenting! (anyone watch modern family? Cause

the dad taking the tree/christmas away was freaking funny!!)

An early christmas gift! Since we were going to be gone for christmas,

and I knew I did not want to haul this with we let him have it early! (ok

I was real excited to see if he would like it, and did not want to wait, but

the first reason is nice too!) Otis liked it as much as Hayd did! well worth

the $6, thank you ikea!
