Sarah and Allison visit!

We are having a great time with out visitors. Sarah and Allison both arrived on Wednesday night and we haven't stopped since then!
Thursday the girls babysat so I could go to a big planning meeting at work which was much appreciated. After I got home we went to dinner at a little local place for salad and pizza. We were all pretty tired and the kids didn't last long so we ate and ran.
Friday, while Chandler worked, the girls and baby boys (minus Cash who was at daycare) went to the shops and lunch. We ate at Town Square so we could walk around outside and window shop but really the reason we went there is so we could stop at Yogurtland on the way out. We all had a great day and plenty of fresh air. Later that night we went to Rob & Mary Ann's for a little bbq and to see Elise before she went back up to school. It was nice for everyone to see Sarah and meet Bobby. Grandma Vegas enjoyed having another one of her great grandchildren around and Cash couldn't get enough of Anna's kitty, Lucy. We were all pretty tired by the end of that night and missed bedtime by at least an hour (if not more for Bobby).
Saturday we had big plans to go down to see the new City Center but trying to get 4 adults and 3 children out of the house, packed up into the cars and into the public is quite a daunting undertaking. Once we got into the car I realized it had gotten a little later than I thought and we changed our plans to just go out to lunch since we were having Cash's birthday party later that day and I still needed to go to the grocery store and decorate Cash's cake. And, this way we could stop back by the yogurtland and get a little fix for the day!!
Saturday night we had the Oswalts over to celebrate Cash's birthday. We had 6 adults and 6 children (ages 3 and under) in the house! It was great. I made the crockpot mexican chicken and we had tacos with all the toppings. Cash and Addie had a great time running around and eating candy and the babies were all well behaved. Cash didn't like us singing Happy Birthday to him and covered his ears so we sang very fast. The best part for him was blowing out the candle and relighting it and blowing it out - a lot!
Sunday was a very special day. We got Cash and Cooper baptized at our new church, Holy Spirit. The church isn't built yet so mass is held in the gym but it was special nonetheless. We got to church at 9:30 - getting out of the house was a process that started at 6am - and quickly went through the process with Father Bill. We got the boys' certificates and waited for mass to start. They were the only ones getting baptized so it was all about them and Father Bill gave them "shout outs" 3 times during mass. Cash was less than thrilled about getting "dunked" but got over it quickly after one loud objection. Cooper slept most of the time so he didn't mind getting doused. Allison and Sarah did very well as Godmothers and proxies for the missing Godfathers. They lit their candles without incident and we got out of there just as Cash was unraveling. Mary Ann took us to Red Rock country club for lunch with Grandma after which is pretty funny since its one of the places Allison has already been in Las Vegas! Overall the day was a big success and I am happy and proud that my boys are officially Catholics. Chandler is next! Although we're gonna have a hard time getting him into a white gown!
Allison left Sunday afternoon and we just vegged out and let the boys play.
