the entire family at night by our pool... the lights you see to the left behind us is down town....the lights of the strip...

some of us went to a show to celebrate mom's bday.... simply amazing!

auntie mary & uncle luke and ALL their Brennan boys! Not a girl in sight...well accept for mary :)

my sister in law, Erin & Caedmon (her son) - she is married to my younger brother John

caedmon reading one of our favorite books!

auntie mary and the boys people watching.... I can't imagine what these little brains were processing that day... oh my lord!

We took several trips to the park near our AMAZING house!

Jill (my sister), Andy, Ben, and Jack.... and YES, we were one of "those" families that took their kids to Vegas...but we didn't let them touch anything and we scrubbed them clean when we got home... ICK.

Angie (my sister in law, who is married to my older brother scott) enjoying one of our nights out with her wolves.... she just can't get enough... oh and not sure why this pictures won't flip... sorry... :(

Touring the harvest celebration at the Bellagio and yes, that is a real pumpkin!

these boys are getting heavy... can you tell? This picture was taken when we went to visit the lion cubs at MGM... the boys were just a piece of plexi-glass away from some very sweet cubs!

A hug from the Henry ... pricelss... he is such a great little hugger! He knows how to give "loves"...so sweet.

Uncle John (my brother) and Sullivan exploring down town... oh so fun!

I will add more pictures but this is a start.... My dad took most of the pictures from the trip so these are just what I could find from my camera.... I need to get his as he is a fab photographer!

We had a great trip...celebrated my mom's birthday... enjoyed tennis, golf, every kind of sport, swimming and lots of other festivities....our house was perfect...it was so fun to see everyone... we haven't all been together for a long time... all in one big house...big meals....lots of laughs... just like the old days back in good ol' walla walla! The dynamics are fun.... we're all grown up...some us with kids and those without look just that much more rested! I think I've aged 100 years in the last 15 months! I was just telling Patrick the other day that I need to invest in some really expensive eye cream! :) Don't get me wrong.... it hasn't been a bad stress.... just the most exciting year of my life.... and I've got the lines to prove it! :) If you look close that is.... well, don't look too close!
