Trip to ELKO!

cute little Tayven didn't want his picture taken :(

We haven't been back to Elko in a year and a half - so it was a well needed visit. We stayed at my Dad's and went to the good 'ol fair and horse races. I haven't done that since I was back in school. Grandpa let Lexi and Kam pick the horses to bet on. They didn't win any :( Lexi actually thought she was GETTING a horse, so I told her if she wanted to buy one she was going to need to talk to grandpa about that :)

Then we went and stayed at Lisa's house. We had sooo much fun there. The kids love eachother and we hardly saw them while we were there. Lisa and Chet are the best hosts! We had yummy food, a pina coloda, a fresh fruit shake, and all the mtdew you could want. It is always fun hanging out with them. We just wish we could do it more often!

Thanks for the good time guys - we love you!

sidenote - funny story:

We let the kids stay up too late at Lisa's, they were beyond exhausted. So about midnight we hear the girls screaming and crying. We go upstairs and Kamree and Taylee are up - Kamree had woken Taylee up with her screaming. I'm not sure if it was night terrors or if she needed to go to the bathroom. anyway we couldn't get her to stop screaming/crying, we tried everything. so after what seemed like forever, Mike took her outside again. He then brought her to me downstairs and we finally got her to go potty and she calmed down. So the boys went back to video games and me and lisa talked sitting on the couch and I just held kam on my chest while she fell back to sleep. around 1am there is a knock on the door - its a cop. someone called in saying they heard a baby crying and then a thump. yeah, that was just our screaming 3 yr old and then mike coming inside with the door closing. oh well - at least they follow thru and check on those calls. the cop came down to the basement to check kamree and make sure she was ok. so I hope lisa and chets neighbors dont think it was them beating their child! haha
