Vegas Spring Break 2011

We drove to Las Vegas and played for a few days in Las Vegas for Syd's spring break.  It was a relaxing fun trip with our little family.  We didn't spend to much money but had lots of fun things to do each day.  We were also able to see my cousins.  Some highlights of the trip were the aquarium, playing in the pool even if it was cold outside, taking pictures with freaky people, a cheap magic show that blew the girls minds, Bellagio fountains, Ethel M. Chocolate factory and Fremont Street Light show!  Sawyer traveled well in the car and I love road trips to visit with Zach and talk about everything under the sun together and get the giggles.  It was just the trip we needed to get us thru the cold in Idaho because spring has not come here.

Aquarium (I love Mal holding Sawyers hand)

Sawyer sat and watched fish the whole time

There were lots of huge Sting Rays

It was cold/windy if you stopped to think about it!

Dad made up a game where you walked in a circle like a cake walk.

Getting sprayed

It was so cold they were crazy and all this fun only lasted about 15 minutes.

Trying to spray Dad!

They had the giggles so bad giving each other piggy back rides.

Hash House a Go- Go! Famous Breakfast place that I had a coupon for.  It was delicious but the coupon was only for dinner! arrrrghhh!  But the giant snickers pancake was almost worth full price! Yummo!

Family picture in front of Bellagio Fountains some creepy guy insisted we take.  I thought he was going to steal our camera.  Syd was tired and didn't want anything to do with it and she was probably the smartest one of us.

Mallory was hyper and dancing like crazy that night by the fountains!  So funny!

Baby Shower!

I threw my friend a baby shower. She has 3 boys and is finally getting a little girl! I love to party plan and enjoyed going crazy with pink! We made lots of yummy treats and decorated with cute signs and hanging fluffy tissue paper balls. It was super fun for me and we had a good turnout.

Delicious Pink Dessert Table!
                                  Cupcakes, sugar cookies, chocolate dipped pink marshmallows, candy, whoopie pies, homemade oreos, chocolate dipped pretzels, pink sherbet punch!
Bebe sign and Tissue paper balls were adorable!

Cute momma Mandy!

Valentines 2011

In February the girls went with Dad and Grandpa to a Daddy Daughter Ball. They dressed up fancy and curled their hair and got some lipstick and eye makeup. They had a fun time at the dance with their favorite guys! There were games and desserts. Zach also took me on a Valentine date to a new fancy restaurant called Elevation 486. We went with my sister and some friends. It was a fun night and a great Valentines date.


Beautiful flowers from Dad for Valentines Day!

Sawyer pictures

Sawyer sleeps with a hand or arm up in the arm sometimes.
He holds it up so long sometimes it starts turning purple or white. So I have to wake him up.
He loves his Bouncer!  Thanks Rachelle for sharing all your stuff!

Snow Tubing Fun!

In January we went Tubing at Magic Mountain!  The girls loved it!!!!! I did too!  We went with some friends and had a fun day!  The Lodge was close and we took turns watching Sawyer by the Toasty fire inside.  We also had yummy snacks and Hot Chocolate breaks!  The day wasn't too cold and we all stayed pretty warm.  We are happy to say there were no injuries.  YAY!  We will have to do this every year.  The lift that pulls you to the top of the hill made the day amazing with about 100 times down the hill!


The lift was awesome and worth every penny!


Zach tubing with our friend and his crazy hat!


Mom and Mal! She was nice and shared her tube with me!
