Things Since We Have Been In Vegas

Well, the nice thing about where we live is that we have so many things close to use.  I can walk about a block and a half or so and there is a plaza that has Target, Bath & Body Works, Marshall's, Micheal's, Pier 1, PetSmart, Krispy Kreme, a dentist office, a Verizon store, and a few more places.  Then there is another little plaza about the same distance and it has Lowe's, Home Goods, Fed Ex, a Game Stop (Taylor likes that but I am glad that he understands we are on a budget still), there are a few more things in that one too.  Across the street from that plaza is the hospital where we went for Lance's head, and a few check-ups.  That is all within about a 10 minute or so walking distance.  A mile from our house we have a Super Walmart, Home Depot, Ross's, PetCo, Home Consignment Store, Sam's Club, and a few other places in that plaza.  Also within about a mile in a different area we have a Neighborhood WalMart. 

One of Lance's favorite things is to go and play at the parks.  We have one that is in walking distance which is really fun.  Here are some pictures.

We also have another park that is near us that has water shooting from the ground.  It is a little bit further way so we drive to that one.

I will update a little more when I don't have Lance trying to shut off my computer.

Visitors

We are now settled into our new house in Las Vegas and things are slowing down.  Taylor has had his clearance for about six weeks or so.  Now we are waiting for Taylor to get his Access which will allow him to actually start to do what he came here for.  We have really grown to love our new home and we really enjoy the area.

We have had lots of visitors too.  My parents helped us move down and get settled.  Then, I went home for a week for one of best friend's wedding and to be with our families.  Taylor wasn't able to go home because of work.  My sister Nicki and her husband Matt were able to come visit us about three weeks after I got home from visiting Pocatello.  It was nice to have them here so I could have something to do while Taylor was at work.  Our last visitors were about two weeks after Nicki and Matt, it was Taylor's mom, grandma and his sister Raegan.  They cam down for Raegan's birthday present.  Her mom treated her to a show down here.  We were all able to go to Phantom of the Opera, which was amazing, I recommend it to anyone who wants to see a show in Las Vegas.  

Raegan and Tricia also went to Jersey Boys and they said it was a great show, you just have to be prepared for the New Jersey language.  

While Taylor's family was here we went swimming one day and Lance threw his ball through the fence and decided that he wanted it and started running to the gate to try and open it but as he was running he slipped or tripped over his feet and hit the pole that was by the gate and split his head open.  So we had to run to the ER to get his head checked out and get it taken care of.  Lance had to have five stitches in his head.  Now he has a matching scar to his cousin Sheldon.  His new nickname with my family is Scarface II. 

Lance after we were admitted and waiting for the Doctor.  I finally got him calmed down.

This was after the Doctor came and informed me that his cut would have to be stitched up.  Lance doesn't like doctors anymore.  He has been to the children's clinic here a few times and he cries every time.

This is after the doctor and his nurse stitched him up.  The swelling is from the stuff they numbed Lance's head with.

This is Lance's head a day or two after the stitches were taken out.  It looks really good.

 The rest of the visit from Taylor's family was great.  I am so thankful for all of our visitors because it has helped my homesickness.  Thank you everyone and I love you all very much.  Keep visiting.
