Vegas Trip

For Brandon's 30th Birthday I surprised him

with a trip to Vegas and Nascar tickets.

We spent 5 days there seeing shows, visiting friends, going

to the races and visiting the Vegas Temple.

I told Brandon on the way down to Vegas that I was

really looking forward to the Temple and Eating out! You

can't tell I'm pregnant and love food! After the trip was

said and done my favorite part was visiting the temple and

coming home to my girls. I missed them so much. That was

the longest we've been away from them. I know I'm crazy

because I'm always needing a break but 5 days was too

long for me. I think next time I need my break I'll just

head to Layton for dinner so I only have to be away from

them for a couple of hours.

Are good friends the Jolley's who moved last year from our

ward here in Syracuse to Las Vegas went out to eat a few times

with us and attended the temple with us for sealings. They are

awesome friends and we miss having them living close.

I think my favorite looking temple is now the Vegas. I think

it is so pretty on the out side.

We went to a Cirque du soleil show called, "KA".

It was so amazing. The performers were all

so fit and talented acrobatics. They would not

let you take pictures so all we got was in the

Cirque du soleil store trying on some of their masks.

We spent a lot of time walking the strip. Which

was fun the first time but not the 100th time.

We stopped in the M&M store which was

4 floors full of souvenirs. We also watched

the dumbest 3D M&M movie but it was

good to sit down for a few minutes!

The next day we spent at the races. Brandon

loved the drifting cars the best. We had awesome

seats where we could see the entire track. It was fun

to see what you're use to seeing on TV.

We had good advise from friends who told us

to BBQ in the parking lot after the races in stead of

sitting in our car for 3 hours. So we grilled up steaks.

After spending a few hours parked next to some drunk

people I again was so grateful for the knowledge of

the gospel. All Brandon and I did was just laugh at them.

They thought we were laughing with them. They

were totally stupid. And what bugs me the most is that

after the line of cars dyed down they got in their cars

and drove home. Hello-can you say DUI.

It was still fun spending time with my sweet heart.

It was finally time to head home to my girls. My girls bounced

from my house with my mom to Bran's mom's house then

ended up at my sister in law's house. We thought Sierra

would run up and give us both hugs when we walked through

the door but in stead starred at us, picked her nose and then

walked over to us. But we know she missed us because she

was in such a good mood on the drive home.

We bought the girls masks which they call the, "3 Musketeer

masks", like the Barbie movie. They absolutely love them.

We also bought them sparkly M&M cups all the same

so they can't fight over them.
