Welcome to my party of six, or more specifically my family of six. Out to dinner tonight for my 41st birthday with my family, the hostess asked, "how many?" I had to think for a moment, my newest addition to our family was only 20 days old, and this was our first venture out with our "new" family. "Six, party of six", I replied. The gravity of our new family size hit me, and thus my new blog for our new family had a name. Welcome to our new adventures as we start our new family life!

Vegas Family Style









We went on a family trip to Las Vegas in January for Lizzy's Lady Luck Gymnastics Meet.  It was a lot of fun.  Mom and Dad came and we had adjoining time shares and Kim and Ben came too!  We tried something new and drove up late at night which was great because the kids slept most of the way, however when we got to Vegas at 2 a.m. they all woke up and were acting like it was morning time and were wide awake ready to go.  We were there for four nights and had a good time.  We visited the Circus Circus amusement park, went to the m&m store, the kids saw NY NY hotel, and got to go to dinner at Rain Forest Cafe.  We all watched Lizzy do awesome at her meet.  She got great scores and really seemed to enjoy the competition.  We are seeing a new side to Lizzy at competitions now that she is in EXCEL and gets to show off some higher level skills including a fly away and baby giant on bars, a back walk over and gainer dismount on beam, and her own routine on floor to "Singin in the Rain".  We had fun in Vegas with the kiddos, a different kind of Vegas, but still fun.
