Las Vegas trip #1

In the last couple of months, we have been to Las Vegas twice to visit my sister Rhonda. Her husband Joe is in dental school and she just had her 3rd baby a couple months ago. They named him Owen and he is so darn cute. Her other 2 kids, Danny and Daisy are the same ages as Laura and David, so the cousins were very excited to see eachother again. Joe had a break from school while we were there, so we actually got to hang out with Rhonda AND Joe. We all had a lot of fun, it was a good trip. Vegas trip #2 will be coming soon.

My guys!

Daisy and David



The first night that we were there, Rhonda and Joe were so nice to watch our kids so we could go out. Mike made reservations at the Mesa Grill inside Cesars Palace which is one of Bobby Flay's restaurants for all you Food Network fans out there.
Here we are at dinner.


I had to get a picture of Mike and his steak, he was so excited.


The Bellagio! The water show was great, I think we stayed and watched it a couple of times.


I kept thinking of Ocean's Eleven.


Inside the Bellagio.


Here we have the ceiling.

The rose garden was so pretty.

Then, we went to the Venitian and Mike suprised me with a gondolla ride. This clearly is not us, they just passed by on the other side.


Here we are.







I don't remember where this fountain was, but I wanted to stay right there for a while because it felt about 10 degrees cooler sitting by that water.

Halloween


So David has this obsession with the cactus in our neighbors yard and is always running over to it and trying to touch it. Then he'll say harp, harp (his way of saying sharp, sharp!) So when we went outside to take a few pictures before trick or treating, David immediately booked it over to the cactus with his little shell bouncing on his back, yelling cactuth, cactuth! It was so funny.
Laura was Belle
David was a turtle (kind of ironic for him).



The kids had fun watching Mike carve our pumpkin.

The Pumpkin Patch

David decided it would be easier to find his way out of the maze this way.






I made David sit in the stroller to decorate his pumpkin, because he kept running after the tractor as it would drive by.
