I was so nervous about this plane ride to Vegas. We had one stop and didn't have to change plans which was the good part but the flight time all together was about 6 hours. Yikes! I prepared the ultimate activity/treat bag for CJ with all new toys and activities. CJ's last plane ride at 14 months didn't go so well and I was so exhausted after it that I wasn't sure how this was going to go. My preparation paid off and I was one lucky mama. It went so smoothly and CJ was an angel on the plane. We definitely did everything in the bag twice and he ate more cookies than I have ever given him in his life, which isn't very many if any at all. :/ But..... I was one happy mama after and so was CJ.
It was late when we arrived but CJ was wide awake and so excited to see the Stubbs kids. Camden and Dallen got out all the cars for him and CJ thought he was in heaven. He LOVES cars and he had never seen so many in his life. He only has a few at home.
Camden was so wonderful with CJ. He was the first one by his side if CJ was unhappy trying to cheer up CJ by find him a toy or being silly to make him laugh.
With a three hour time difference CJ's schedule was just a little bit off and on top of that he was teething. (by the way I am so sick of teething!! Isn't he done yet?!) So...CJ had quite a few rough moments. I love this picture of him laying on the floor. He is by the fridge because he wanted to play in the fridge. He was so grouchy that day and nothing I did made him happy. One time when I came upon him whining and I found him laying on the floor... like he had given up. I felt so bad for him :(
Lyndee was great with CJ too. CJ had fun playing with her as she pushed him in the laundry basket or ran around with him.
The fabulous Aubrey did my hair and gave me a pedicure while I was there which I always look forward to when I see her! She knows all the latest hairstyles and is amazing!
Movie Night!
Dallin taught him how to play the piano. As you can see CJ was having a great time! He was singing and swinging his feet too!
Aubrey and I experimented with the muddy buddie recipe and made three different kinds, Cupcake, Jello, Reese's peanut butter. My favorite was the cupcake ones. They were delicious. CJ loved them too as you can see from the picture.
My mom came down for a couple days and on Sunday we visited the Las Vegas Temple. I had never been there so it was neat to see it even though it was a 100 degrees outside. Yikes!
CJ apparently didn't want to sit there for the picture. If you look closely he has a fountain of water coming out of his head. hehe not the best place for a picture, I guess CJ knew that. :)

The flight back wasn't a smooth at the flight to Vegas. We had delays in Vegas and in Phoenix on the plane when it was 106 degrees outside with no AC on the plane while we waited for things to be fixed and CJ screamed all the way up and I walked the aisle for 40 minutes trying to get him to sleep. Definitely not fun but we made it and it could have been worse.
His favorite thing that I brought on the plane was this truck. It was new and he thought it was the greatest thing ever.
A big thank you to Jen and Steve for flying us out for a wonderful week with them and their kids!
