Update on the Family

I took some cute pictures of my kids today so I thought I would share some of what they are doing and into these days.

Sage is going to be 2 next month! I can't believe how fast she is growing! Her vocab is growing so much every day especially since we have taken her pacifier away except for sleeping. She is so into being a princess lately. What a girly, girl! She sings this song and does a dance that basically says, "I'm a Princess!!!". She can drive me crazy and the next second she has stolen my heart again. Maybe that is girls, I have no clue!

Little Westin is growing up so fast too, but in a different way. He is maturing so much and I'm starting to see why everyone say "they grow up so fast!". He loves to have a part in primary. If it were up to him he would give the prayer, talk and scripture every Sunday. He is also becoming such a good helper to me. He loves to ask me what I want him to do for me. I often wonder if his good nature can be blamed on Ben and I at all or are we just extremely lucky! He is ecstatic for his baby brother to come. He says he wants to hold him all day long

This past week, all four of us have had the flu and it has been no fun!! Ben even had to miss his own Grandpas funeral because he was so miserable. We are all glad to be feeling better and back to our normal stuff now.

Happy Anniversary!

Ben and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary this last weekend by going to Las Vegas. What is a trip to Las Vegas with out a stop at the Hoover Dam. If you ever manage to go to a dam with any of the Shumway boys, you will know that the "Dam" jokes don't pass as quick as the dam itself. Any excuse to safely cuss.

Vegas was about what I thought it would be. The architecture is amazing. Outside of that, you begin to see why it is called the city of sin. I'll just leave it at that because I could go on and on and I'm sure everyone gets the point.

One really fun thing we did was take a Gondola ride at the Venitien. It was really fun and beautiful. It's amazing what they can do inside a building!

Saturday we went to the Las Vegas Temple. I was never so happy to go to the temple. My mom watched our kids so we could go and I'm so thankful for that!! Thank you so much Mom, we love you so much. Now she can go back to sleeping in and taking showers, 2 things that never happen with children!
