Bellagio Fountain

Here are a few fun photo's just from the fountain. It danced to Michael Jackson's - Billy Jean

 I also remembered I could take a short video on my camera.. Go me!! 

 

It was just amazing how much they can do with water!

Vegas Baby!

Ok, Ok, I will be the 1st to admit Vegas was nothing I ever imagined, in a good way ofcourse.  I had this picture in my mind when I thought of Vegas, dirty, gambeling, hookers, just the works.  I was pleasantly surprised!  It was nothing like that, It was so clean even the streets, the architecture was beyond belief.  Each hotel was so different but just as beautiful as the next.  The had some amazing shopping, even better food, and to top it all off I learned to play some table games (Thanks Tom & Lauren) and had a blast.  I already want to play again!

I was also admit I did a horrible job of taking photo's this trip.. I was just so in awe of the buildings I was definatly a slacker.  I did get a few but just not what I wanted to take.  Fortunate for me the hubby was just as impressed as me and was snapping pictures with his cell phone.  So these pictures are not what I wanted to share but, unfortunatly its all I have:(

On top of it all, the hubby and I both fell in love with Vegas - If you have not gone I highly reccommend it, and if you ask us - we will probably join in!

We stayed at the Mirage which was a perfect location, we went and saw the Mystere a Cirque Du Soleil show which we all enjoyed.  Spent about half a day poolside, spent one evening in the downtown Vegas (The original strip) and spent the majority of our time, gambeling and wandering around! 

Here are a few pictures! Enjoy!

Cheers!!! We made it to Vegas!!!



The Forum Shops at Caesars

 This was the Gondola rides inside the Venetian Hotel and no you are not outside it just looks like you are.  That beautiful blue sky is the ceiling.

 This is just one of the beautiful sights to see in the Palazzo!

 Fashion Show!  Another mall to shop at on the Strip.

 I totally forgot what hotel this was.. Im so bad! Help me out Tom & Lauren.

 Outside the Bellagio - waiting for the fountains

 We went to see the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop!

 Inside View of the Pawn Shop

 We loved the pawn shop - and we even saw Chum Lee - we were not alloud to take pictures of him but, we saw him!

 Inside Caesars Palace - Spiral Escalators!

 Our fancy dinner at Bobby Flay - Mesa Grill - YUMMY:)

 

 Top & bottom = sports book.  Eric & Tom loved this!

 

 Our limo home.



Eric has openly admitted this is his 2nd favorite place in the world.  It still comes in behind Hawaii which i can totally agree with.  We will be back Vegas - we will be back.  On a side note I was so happy to see my boys again, I missed them both sooo much! 

Another April Birthday in this family

Today Uncle Tom turns 24!!!  Mommy and Daddy went with Uncle Tom and Aunt Lauren to Vegas for a short little mini vacation.  I hope you have a great birthday.  Thanks for inviting us to share this time with you!

 

Uncle Tom - Thank you for always being there for Connor and Zennon - I know they (especially Connor) look up to you and adore you.  From legos to nerf guns you do it all with them and they love it.  From hockey to swimming you are helping them learn sports and we all love that!

Zennon turns 2

First of all - where did the time go?  When did my baby become 2?  How did this happen? My baby boy is growing up so fast I can hardly believe it.

Just had a little get together for Zennon's 2nd birthday.  Here are a few highlights!

 Showing off his birthday shirt.

 Birthday sign big brother made for him.  He got tired of writting so it only says "Happy" "Zennon" and a balloon.  I think its just adorable and perfect!  What a wonderful big brother Connor is!

Per the request of the birthday boy.  ELMO was the theme.  How adorable are these cupcakes!  Thanks grandma April & papa Bill for finding the Elmo kit!  Zennon loved it!

 

 

 He did so good blowing out his candles but...

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to.  He indeed started to cry when the candles went out.  This was not the first time just about everytime someone blows out the candles he cries.  Thought maybe it would be different on his birthday but, no such luck!  Don't worry it only lasted a minute. Then he was on to dessert.

Zennon put them all in his cupcake!

Present time!  With a little help from the Big Brother!

We truly did treat you like a King on monday, and let me tell you kiddo - you soacked it up to the extreme!  You truly did like all the attention and you deserved every bit of it!

 

Hope you had a wonderful birthday sweetie!  We all love you so much!
