We then just went to Las Vegas this last weekend for Jordan (Matt's brother) and Julianne's (Matt's sister) babys' blessings for Baby James and Baby Allie. We decided that it would be fun for us to first have a quick little family trip to Laughlin, NV - just the four of us. SUCH A BAD IDEA!!! Who goes to Laughlin??????? And who goes with a 3 month old and a toddler??? NO ONE. Regardless - it is already fun to laugh about now (now that we are home) - and we will never forget it. We stayed at the glorious Tropicana Express - for a few reasons - it boasted of newly renovated rooms. True. The hot-pink painted and creepy hallways...not renovated. Second reason was that it has a train that runs through it that you can ride. Taylor is TOTALLY into "choo-choos." The only problem: train runs Saturday through Wednesday; we stayed Thursday and Friday...ah, but of course. Highlight of the trip (and I am not joking) - finding a Target, Kohls, and Burger King on the outskirts of Laughlin for our Friday night activity :). 
Taylor did well in the car - thanks to crackers, M&Ms, juice, and Care Bear DVDs.
Goodbye Laughlin - may we never return again.
We have spent the rest of the last few months hanging out with family - playing with cousins - and of course - sleepovers at Grandma Janet's. This is Taylor tonight getting ready for Grandma's (minus the whole getting dressed and doing her hair part) - she loves her backpack.
Another highlight of this week was that I was supposed to go and get another crown put on one of my back molars - and instead, the dentist told me that my tooth was past the point of saving and he PULLED MY TOOTH!! So, I am officially 85 years old. My hip replacement is scheduled for the Fall. It was a terrible experience - and of course, it was the day after Matt left on his long weekend trip. Fabulous. A big thank you to my grandparents for my terrible teeth...my mom just informed me that my grandma had dentures in her early 20's - so I guess I am doing well, considering.
Taylor and all of her favorite people - her "friends" and cousins...
Taylor and the boys :)

Yeah for the update! I'm sorry about your horrible trip and tooth experience though.
You and the family are adorable! :) We seriously need to get together someday soon...outside of the gym.
How terrible about your tooth! I hope you are feeling better. I am sorry about that. Dental problems are the worst, and then you have to pay them money!
Tay is so beautiful and we miss little Jackson. And Tay & you and Matt! It was great to see you last weekend.
Kim,
I am around... and life is good. looks like things are going well for you!
What a cute family! I can't believe how big your kids are getting. We need to talk soon! You look great!
Very cute post, Kim...and such cute pictures of all of you. What a week last week was - hopefully, this one will be better!
I'm so glad to have an update of what ya'll have been doing! I want you to post stuff all the time because you are hilarious and because I am sad that we don't get to see Taylor and that I have never seen Jackson. They are both so cute! Maybe next time you want to take a trip you should come to Bristol instead of Laughlin...except that we don't have a Kohl's, so it might not be as fun.
What an adventure! Your kids a just adorable. I'm glad I found your blog via Marti's! It's great to see you are happy and well(apart form the tooth pulling episode)!
Oh my Laughlin, Kim...that is hilarious! We had a similar Mesquite experience when Kennedy was a tiny baby, so disgusting. Funny looking back too. I am so glad they didn't crown you, we talked last just before your appt. So funny! Can you imagine dentures in your 20s? Wow. You are doing well :). I hope Matt had a fun visit with his parents and that you enjoyed your time with just ADORABLE Jackson! And may I say how grown up and darling Taylor looks, wow!!
Kim - which grandparents have the terrible teeth??
You are in luck Shannon - it is not your grandma. That would be my dad's parents. And you would know by now because every tooth in your mouth would either have a filling (or two), a crown, a bridge, or just be gone :)
