VEGAS AND AZ VACAY!!!

I finally got pics up from our trip to Vegas and AZ! Sorry it took so long! We celebrated our 5 Year Anni on April 10th by going to Vegas! My sister in laws drove to Veg and met us there to pick up the kids and take them back to AZ while we stayed a few days by ourselves! It was so nice to be able to be by ourselves and not have to worry about anything! We stayed at the NY NY Hotel which was a perfect location since it's almost right in the middle of the strip! We also went to the Tournament of Kings dinner show (would not recommend it) and the Mystere by Cirque Du Soleil! Can I just say AMAZING! That one was totally worth every penny! I want to see all the Cirque shows now! We took alot of pics so it was hard to decide which to post so there are kind of a lot! This one is before the kids left outside of Rainforest Cafe! It was too busy to eat there so we showed Corban the elephant! 

This was at the Shark Aquarium at Mandalay Bay! It took us about 5 minutes to do the whole thing! Corban didn't care about anything but the sharks! Kind of a waste of money but oh well! haha 

We took them to M&M Factory! Corban loved it! As we left he told the M&M Man outside that he had him in his bag! haha It was hilarious! 

Clifford wishing he could win the Jackpot! 

The kids left on Saturday afternoon so then we had some time to kill before our show! We went to the Coke Factory and we did the thing where you taste 16 different types of Coke products from all over the world! It was fun! Here I am with all the drinks! 

In this pic I am tasting one from Italy! 

It was freakin disgusting! haha 

Here we are with both of our Favs! 

This is us before Mystere since you can't take pictures in the theatre! 

Here we are after the show at the Texas De Brazil Restaurant celebrating 5 years! It was pretty dang good! 

Here we are on the Brooklyn Bridge on our way back to our Hotel! 

I was so excited when I saw they have a Serendipity in Vegas! We are waiting for our reservations! 

The Amazing Frozen Hot Chocolate! It was Heaven! I didn't want it to end! 

We met quite a few celebrities like Cameron Diaz, Denzel Washington, Ben Affleck, Jenna Jameson, Hugh Heffner, Shaq, Simon and Ryan Seacrest, tu Pac and even Barrack Obama! It was a popular weekend for celebs! I guess it's cuz they knew we were gonna be there! Here is Clifford jammin with Stevie Wonder!  

Here I am talking to Oprah! 

I thought this was the cutest room ever so I had to get a pic in front of it! This was at the Venetian! We were gonna do the gondola ride but opted not to when we got there! haha I guess we just weren't feelin it! 

Here we are at the Tournament of Kings Dinner Show before it started! We had front row! 

After the show we walked to the Bellagio for the water show! Here we are after! It is so pretty to watch!  The next morning we got up and drove to AZ! We were Vegased out but had a good time! We were ready to see our kids! I missed them like crazy! 

While in AZ I had the chance to go out to Gilbert and meet my old roomies for dinner! It was so nice to get together with them! We all brought our kids too! It was quite a fun reunion! Here are all of us girls! 

Here are me and my roomies! Minus Heidi and Kristi! 

The whole group including the kids! It was so much fun and I'm so glad we did that! 

We got to take the kids to the county fair while we were there too! Corban was so happy to see Spongebob! 

Here he is riding the cars! We had a fun day! 

We had such a fun trip! It went by way too fast! I'm sorry to those we didn't get to see while there! 

Early Easter!!

We celebrated Easter with the kids a week early since we are gonna be in Vegas next weekend! So last night we ate pizza for dinner then colored Easter eggs as a family! Anything that's messy Corban loves to do so of course he was in heaven! It's always so much fun to do things with your kids that they love! Here is Corban doing his thing with the eggs! 

Daddy with Brighton! She was having fun just sitting and watching everthing we were doing! 

She thought the crayon was pretty tasty! 

Corban's Hulk hand! 

Us and the finished product! 

The Easter Bunny came last night also and here they are getting their basket full of goodies! 

As you can tell Brighton is so excited about all this! haha She got a couple little books and a stuffed duck that laughs! 

Corban got the movie Pinocchio and also a super hero activity book and tons of candy! I look gorgeous in this picture! Don't be jealous! haha 

After the first session of conference we did the Easter egg hunt! Here's Corban wondering where to start looking! 

There's one! 

Showing Brighton his eggs! 

Still looking! 

Brighton's egg! 

I think it's funny because we're gonna be in sin city celebrating Easter! haha I hope you all have an awesome Easter next weekend! We go to Vegas for 5 days then we'll be in AZ for a couple days! I'm so excited! Bring on the heat! 

Brighton Crawling, Movie, and Shopping Spree!!!

So Brighton is officially crawling! She has been rolling over and getting all across the room for a while now but she now has the crawl down I think! She's still trying to get the hang of it but she is getting it! No more just setting her down somewhere knowing that she'll still be there after I leave the room! haha She is so much fun! She loves to watch Corban and will soon enough be his little shadow! Here are a couple pics we got of her in action! 

Here she is in her new high chair we got off of ebay! We have one similar to this one that is a metal frame from back in like the 70's but the tray was plastic and when Corban used it he destroyed it! haha There is a huge crack in the middle of it and I tried to Gorilla glue it back together but he managed to break it again! So I found this cute one with the metal tray so it can't be destroyed! Brighton hopefully won't be as rough as her brother! haha I don't know why they don't still make these high chairs anymore! They are awesome! 

We took Corban to see Monsters vs Aliens on the opening day! He loved it! At first he got scared but then he realized the monsters were good so then he was ok! He watched the whole movie without getting up once except for the very end he had to go potty so I missed the end! It was a cute and funny movie! Here is Corban after we got home wearing his 3D sunglasses! He liked that we got to wear them in the movie! haha 

On Saturday I drove down to Salt Lake by myself and met Jessica and Justina and her baby girl Eva at Gateway Mall! Clifford stayed home with the kids and was Mr Mom all day! I hadn't seen Jessica since before her mission so it was awesome to finally see her! We spent the whole day shopping! We ate lunch at CPK which was so good! Then we shopped more and then ate dinner at Z Tejas which was super good too! After we left the mall we headed over to Nordstrom before it closed! We were finally done at 9:30 at night! It was the funnest day ever and I'm so glad we did it! I had to drive back to Rexburg that night so I didn't get home till 1 in the morn! haha I was dead but it was well worth it! Here we are at Gateway! 

Us at Z Tejas! 

Jessica, Justina, and Eva! Gorgeous girls! Doesn't Eva totally look like she is Jessica's baby! haha Love the red hair! 

All 3 of us bought the same pair of sandals! Aren't they so cute! 

Thanks Jess and Stina for the Fantastic Day! I love you girls!
