Trip to Vegas

We took a quick trip to Vegas this weekend to visit my brother, Jared, and his family. They lived in Germany before moving to Vegas, so we are enjoying having them this close. We got a tour of Nellis Air Force Base, which was cool. Jared (aka Major Nelson) enjoys working for the Air Force and talked to us a lot about that. Jeanette is lucky enough to stay home and take care of their wonderful kids. Tanner loves attending Green Valley Ranch High School and is almost 16 and can't wait to start dating. The girls, Maddie, Emily and Becca are growing up so fast and are full of energy. They love playing together, especially swimming in their pool and spa. We sure had a great time hanging out with them, they are such good people. We sure love you guys.

Of course, we took advantage of the long drive through the desert and stopped to smell the flowers a few times...
