Getting there....
We had about a 7 hour drive, so we left around 7am. Somehow we managed to meet up with Bryan, J'net and Rick in Kingman, AZ at the same time. Uncle Rick wanted to have lunch at a good place he found in....Chloride, AZ! Where is Chloride??? and how did he find it???
It was called "Yesterdays" and it was good, they had great sweet potato fries! It was also the only place to eat, so it was a good thing they were open!!
It took us an hour to cross over the dam because of the construction on the new bridge! Lots of traffic and long lines of cars!
Its still an amazing site to see but the new bridge is unbelievable too!
Once its finished, the trip to Vegas will go lots faster!

Other Activites before....
Some of us attended the Las Vegas Temple! I'd forgotten what a big, beautiful temple it is!
Uncle Bryan & Aunt J'net always make things more fun!
After picking Mark up at the airport, he wanted to treat his Dad to a birthday dinner he would never forget! He took us to the Beliogio (sp?) for a wonderful buffet. It was amazing, the food was so delicious and beautiful! HAPPY 60th BIRTHDAY LAVERL!!
We just had to sample all of the fantanstic desserts!
FOOD, FOOD...all we did was eat! We'd meet for breakfast at the Denny's just so we could start our day out eating!! It sure was all good!

Crosby Family Annual Hearts Tournament
Every year the Crosby's get together for a little friendly competition, playing 'hearts' a game of strategy, skill and luck! They are all coveting this- the Crosby Trophy, to keep and cherish all year, displaying for all to see, who the best, most highly skilled player was!
Uncle Dave is holding the trophy, hoping to win it this year, but alas, last years reigning champion, Mitch Crosby, also won the competition this year, with Dave coming in 2nd, Reed 3rd, (a surprize!) and most everyone else tying for 4th! Mark was winning up until the 3 round, but as fate would have it, his luck went bad!
We had a good showing for players, Chad, Uncle Bryan, Reed and new contenter, Tim, Kristina's boyfriend!
Mitch, Uncle Dave, Uncle Rick and Kristina!
Trent, Mark, LaVerl and Jesse!
We stayed at the Fiesta in Henderson, NV where there was plenty of food, movies, and other activities to keep us busy. The basketball playoffs were another interest, but BYU let us down, although there were some UNLV fans there as well.! It was a fun time had by all and we all look forward to next year to see who has honed their skills to try to beat Mitch, who has won two years in a row!! Maybe we need to get a few girls into this!!

I meant to post this last month when it happened, but time has past! I am now getting to it. This picture was taken off our bedroom deck. You can see all the elk, lots of them. We have had lots of snow this winter, so the elk have come down to eat. 
This is our backyard. After the big snow it looked like a winter wonderland, so beautiful, pristine, so pure and clean! The next morning we woke up to this, a disaster zone! The elk decided they liked our grass and plants, they really like red hot pokers!
After the snow finally melted, we found more proof, this is right on our deck!
Lots more on the patio, all over our front lawn too and the walkways!
We caught a big, lone elk the other morning just eating at our grass. I tried to take a picture through the glass and got mostly reflection. We spooked him though and he jumped right over our 8 ft fence from a stand still, it was amazing to watch. Your Dad has been waiting with his gun loaded with these elk pellet things from the forest service to scare them off, but they haven't been back!

B-day Weekend
Milea turned 3 and loved ChuckieCheese's
Kaemon turned 5...wow! He wanted a superhero cake with a road and a house.
Milea's favorite animated character is Dora the Explorer and she wanted a Dora cake; not bad I must say so myself. I've been peeing estrogen the last couple days.
Our two birthday kiddos were spoiled by their grandmothers and mommy!
Milea sporting her new stylin' sunglasses and playing with her "laptop".
