Vegas Baby


What Happens In Vegas Stays In Vegas. I didn't really understand that statement until this weekend. Cameron and Mindy met Keith and I for a wonderful time in Vegas. You may be thinking to yourself- for a long weekend there should be a lot more pictures. I know, I know however, I have vowed to my husband that I shall leave some of the choice few pictures out of my blog. Although if your name happens to be Marci Preece and you need a good laugh- personal e-mail may be a good way of communicating some GREAT pics.

The weekend began at Stoney's. It was a honkey tonk time working out the electric slide. Mindy- girl you got the country in you. Cam and Keith played it cool chillin on the side watching their babes boogie. That night ended with a dinner/breakfast somewhere around 1am. The following day led to shopping, shopping and more shopping. It was quite convenient being next to the Mile Mall. Joel McHale attempted to bust our guts with laughter. He did his best. Roller coaster anyone? Yes, I did it. I'm still alive. Ask Mindy about the cow-eyed, beaver, muskrat type animal we ran across on the roller coaster. Very interesting story. ESPN Zone offered some great fun as well. Mindy and I can row down any whitewater although we need to work on our bowling skills. KA at MGM Grand was very entertaining. Would've posted a picture from the show but once again ran into that freaky little animal. Wasn't pretty.

We had a lot of laughs, late nights, great food, and always fab shopping. Can't wait for the next trip. Next time the Preece's must join us! Love and miss you all.

End of Summer

So far our summer has been very uneventful in the vacation department. It has been a summer of swim lessons, beach days, water parks, basketball games and work. Maddi and Jaxson have been in swim lessons at the YMCA for the month of July. We celebrated Maddi's 10th birthday at Hurricane Harbor with Aunt Nanni, Boston, Talon, and Big Bruddy. We had a fantastic time! The summer women's basketball league has monopolized my time and daddy supports all 0f us in whatever we do. I have the BEST husband in the world!!!!

All that being said, we are going out with a bang! This weekend we will join the Carvalho Family and Dad and Cile in Running Springs, CA. We have a Pirate Tour scheduled for Friday afternoon, a concert and Farmer's Market at Lake Arrowhead in the evening, and an AWESOME off-road jeep tour on Saturday at Big Bear Lake. We will fit in the Alpine Slides, Animal Park, and late night games at the cabin. I can't wait.

The fun will continue at GrandPa Camp for the kids with mom and Doyle. Keith and I are meeting the Francis' in VEGAS baby! Can't wait for that either. Mindy and Cameron are always oh so entertaining. We'll let you know how the pool, shows, and Francis entertainment are.

Have an enjoyable next few weeks! You know we will!
