Birthday weekend

My mom, sister and her husband came to visit this weekend to celebrate Tyler's birthday. Saturday we had fun visiting the Hoover Dam and had a party after Ty woke up from his nap.

He wasn't sure what to do with the candle, but liked it after daddy blew it out.

Yummy Sesame Street cake!

Karissa and Morgan had to leave Sunday morning so we decided to take mom to visit Mount Charleston. This is one of the skiing areas in Las Vegas. They already had snow and we were not prepared for the 45 degree weather. We stopped and ate lunch by this clear stream - it was a really cool area and probably would've walked around more except we were so cold, we ate our lunch quickly and headed back to the truck and turned the heat on. Who would've thought - snow in Vegas? We kept pointing it out to Tyler and he started saying "more snow, more snow" so we stopped so he could play in it - but then he wanted nothing to do with it. Figures.

We look forward to visiting Mount Charleston again and maybe even skiing this winter.
