Celebrating 15 years.

We had an early morning flight out to las Vegas the day after our actual anniversary. This was a pretty sight to start the morning. My mom stayed with the kids thurs and Friday then my sister picked them up for the rest of the time.

The view off our balcony!

Getting a view of the fountains was hard they are currently building a restaurant on the original viewing area.

Seen here it looks like there will be viewing from the top which will be cool.

Some cool garden we found in one of the casinos.

Each morning started with a dip in the hot tub it was so relaxing!

We saw Curque de Solete Mad Apple it was really good! It was funny and entertaining.

The apple disco ball was a nice touch.

This was center stage the whole time.

While we were there we got record rain fall in the Salt lake area. The kids were texting to tell me about it, so I snapped this Pic of clear sky's to send them.

We did this really fun mini golf corse all the holes were crazy and fun.

With moving obstacles and lots of lights.

When got home we took a few hours to un pack then headed to pick up the kids, this is where I found Enslie and a few cousins. Haha!
Over all it was a relaxing weekend to re-connect and enjoy some one on one time we hadn't been getting lately due to kids sports and church callings. We also saw a variety show, rode the new York new York coaster, ate lots of yummy food, listened to conference and just enjoyed the weekend away. Happy 15 years to us and to many more to come.

September random.

Enslie officially started her braces journey. First bands to make room for an expander.

Got prints from our most recent family pictures and updated our wall.


Took the kids to desert star for the first time to see wicked-er.

They loved it!

Baseball is still going strong and my boy is doing so well pitching! On Tuesdays they play kid pitch amd Fridays are machine pitch.




Love me se sun sets! This one was at baseball practice. 


These cats put up with so much!

But are so loved. 

Matt was in town for a few more days he wanted Tucanos we met half way at Layton mall and the kids had some fun after.


Again with the sun sets!

Expander was put in! Turning that key twice a day was brutal! I felt bad watching her in the pain in created but it will be worth it in the end!

Went to dad's work party at the park by our house the kids got some paintings done.


The girls school pictures came in.

My girls are grown up!

No words.

Team picture day for korbyn. Travis got to help coach this season and got to be in pictures with a jersey matching korbyns number.

My handsome boys!

That form! That's my boy!


The cats "helping" me do luandry after we got back from yellowstone.



This squirrel said hi as we were leaving one morning.

Rainbow out running errands. Its been raining alot lately and I kinda love it!

 

Hammond family reunion 2025 yellow stone.

Packing up Leo packed himself. 

The falls colors starting to poke their were so pretty!


Hot pots.






Brielle sure loves Korbyn. 

Waiting for old faithful.

Another going off in the distance as we waited.

Finally it went off a few min late.

The kids were so interested..... not they played games while if went off.

Poor Korbyn is the only boy!



It almost looks like the mountain is on fire!


And elk in the water brought traffic to a halt.

Again almost like fire.


Our home we stayed in. It was a good idea but the noise echoed wierd in there.

Yellow stone sunset was Beautiful!

I thought the bazillion shoes were funny!


Hiked to a water fall.






My dad is terrified of heights Kamrin made sure he took in the veiws.



That car wasn't there when we got there. We thought his parking skills were great amd had to take a picture.

Did a different hike to get a fron view of the waterfall.






Took a group picture....

Shortly after this picture we realized Korbyn was missing. Travis ran up the mountain yelling his name as I trailed behind checking the cliffs for a crying kid. After the longest 5 min. Of my life Travis called to say he found him alive at the top of the hill. He said he took off following who he thought was my dad and waited at the top once he realized he didn't know any one.

Zoomed in 100 times to get this photo!


Zoomed 10x.

The fluffy cows were so cute!


The kids were done!

A random hot spring on the side of the road.

A stop for McDonald's is always fun!


Erilyn kicked something and lost part of her big toenail!


I love fall!

All 3 kid's sleeping on the way home! It eas a great time full of cousin time, memories and zero sleep.
