Viva Las Vegas

Alan and I went to Vegas for the Utah game a few weeks ago. Of course, the kiddos got sick the night before!!!!! We have been healthy for 11 months. Yes! Nobody has been sick since the night before O was born. I even told Alan someone would get sick the night before we left and sure enough....the tummy flu came a knockin'. SO TYPICAL!

We started by flying with "SICKO". Actually, he has been quite healthy but has to wear the mask to keep himself that way. He is a TROOPER!

Alan drove with his friends so we did not meet up until Friday. In the meantime, I went to dinner with my Dad, two sisters and brother-in-law. I ordered a roasted marshmellow shake....DIVINE<> Friday we went to the gym, a Taiwanese restaurant, and the outlets. Later, we met up with my Mom, the Jones Family, and Alan. We went to a place called Kokomos in the Mirage where we stayed. I ordered the biggest crab legs you have ever seen! They also had a lobster bisque that was amazing. Saturday started with the gym again and a little more shopping at the Forums. Needless to say, I spent my birthday money.

We all headed out to the game packed in Jigga's car. That stadium is random. It is nowhere near the school, in the middle of the desert with dirt parking lots. My dad's eyes were killing him. I must say this year's game was much better than two years ago. It was still a little boring but we were happy to cheer our Utes on and not get killed like last time.

We made it home and the kids were recovered. Thanks to Alan's family for taking them. We are so blessed!

Just livin'

Man o man. I need to update this baby. So much to say. I know I will miss many things but I guess I will post pictures and that should be enough. Where did summer go? I keep thinking I will wake and check the weather to find 80's again. Then yesterday, I put away the kiddos shorts. We have a 70 degree rule around here for wearing shorts and so I think they will be gone until spring. This is what we were up to in September. A LOT of playing. Isn't life FABULOUS?

Our last trip to the Alpine Slides. I love that place. The Roller Coaster is my favorite. (Along with the Turkey Burger from Ruby Tuesday)

C's first day of Preschool.
We have two pictures. One with what I chose for him to wear and then this.....what he wore to school. Actually, this is not bad at all! At least it was not the jersey!

I think he will always be on the back row for class pictures. The kid is huge.

We went down to see the elephant walk at Gateway. Sara said it best "This is the poor peoples' circus" I think this will be a tradition. We have done it two years in a row.

We made it to the fair. It seemed a lot cleaner and nicer this year. Or maybe I am getting less worried about that kind of stuff with three boys.



Paul and Jess invited us out to see their horses. It was so much fun. Thanks guys.

We soon discovered.....Moo is allergic to horses. Ya Think?

POOR GUY! He did not even complain once!
