Back in Action

Whew! Okay, I'm finally back...vacations can really take it out of 'ya (and I still haven't unpacked everything). Our visit to Las Vegas was great. My mom kept the big boys and Nathan and I stayed at Grandma Truman's. She just had a kidney removed and I'm happy to report that she is doing well! Here is a picture to prove it. She was disappointed that she couldn't hold/lift Nathan because she was recovering from surgery, but he was content to sit by her! Here is a picture of us in the Reno Airport. (Such a nice, calm, slow-paced place.) We flew without a glitch (Nathan's first flight!), until the escalator episode in the Las Vegas Airport. (Such a busy, crazy, fast-paced place.) When we stepped onto the escalator, Josh froze at the top as Jake and I (carrying the baby and diaper bag) rode down. He would NOT move. I was yelling for him to step on and he was yelling, "NO!" right back at me. The traffic flow was clogged and a crowd of people were waiting behind him as I was gliding further and further down. I finally had to yell up to the lady standing next to him, "Would you please grab his hand and help him ride down?!" which thankfully she did.

At the bottom by the baggage claim we found Uncle Scott holding a sign that said "Kahumoku" and an eager Grandma Nelson waiting to whisk her boys away. Here is a picture of them holding hands walking through the airport. They had a fabulous time and Jacob did not want to come home (seriously) and really carried on about just wanting to stay five more days...
