Since our crazy district didn't give us a spring break, we took one for ourselves. I headed to Las Vegas with six kids. We dropped off Eric in St. George for a conference and then headed to the sun. The week was spent at Robin's house relaxing, chatting & controlling the kiddies! Oh, we can't forget the endless shopping trips we made. I bought some awsome shoes, a cute purse and a great outfit, and that was just my part. I also had to shop for a spouse and six kids. Let's just say Vegas gambling isn't the only way to deplete your checking! It was plenty warm for us but I think the Vegans thought we were crazy. Alicia and Tommy were the only ones that swam every day although Emily and Richie did brave the tipid waters a couple of times.Emily & Alicia spent their nights at Mike & Michelle's. They loved tending Chasers and having Aunt Michelle do their hair.
Adam and Benny never really got all the way into the pool but had plenty of fun playing on the steps with their cousin Connor. Caden was their fun babysitter most of the time since their sisters were busy elsewhere.
This is one of the few times Michelle actually had to hold her baby. He is a tunk but so darn cute. He reaches for anyone that passes by. Love the glasses, Michelle!(Chase, Connor, Michelle, & Caden)
The putting green at Robins house was a huge hit. The kids loved it and no one ever bonked anyone on the head with a club, that we know of. 
Robin's pool is gorgeous and it is just right for kids. It is a lap pool and the kids love doing cannon balls in the middle but can all touch (except the 3 year olds) bottom at both ends. The water wasn't real warm but that didn't stop them. The heater was on but it didn't click on until noon.
Caden thought all should join in on the fun!
Our last day of partying was in Bloomington . There were five of our siblings there~ Dusty, Robin, Me, Jim and Mike. We had lunch and an easter egg hunt in a park. Robin treated all the kids to the ice cream man. She handed one of the older ones a twenty. I didn't think it would be enough, we did have 15 kids afterall, but it came to $19.75.

We ended the party at Cousin Sherrie's house. My Grandma and Grandpa Tebbs were there w/ the Bulkely crew. I hadn't seen them for so long and I miss them so much! It was so fun to see the cousins, Aunt Marilyn & Uncle Russell. We played in Sherries great back yard and had a bbq. I had had a rough day w/ bloody noses and having to say goodbye to the Vegans but I was surrounded by family which was all I needed. It is great to be home but I sure miss them all! Alicia said it all when it snowed yesterday...."I wish we could have stayed in Vegas just one more week!"
