Seriously Beautiful

Moments like these photos are seriously the most beautiful things to look at.  I hope my kids know how amazing they are and how proud of them I am.  I hope they always have the confidence to go out into the world and do whatever is going to make them happy and I will always stand by them no matter what.    They bring the most joy to me I have ever found in my life and I seriously could never repay them for that.  I love you both more than anything in the whole entire Universe.  I never knew I had the capacity to create something so perfect.  Twice.

VEGAS!!!

May 18th-22nd
Wow, I have managed to not blog for a month, where does the time go.  I guess it's time to recap the last month or so then.

We recently went to Vegas to celebrate my mom's birthday and it was a bonus because my brother lives there and my mom's sister Monica happened to be there from Mexico so it was a very mini family reunion.  I haven't seen my brother since my dad's funeral and that is way too long (almost 2 years ago).  I hate how life gets too busy to make the time to visit the one's you love the most.  I vow to not let as much time go by that I see my Bro.  We had a good time.  Jared wasn't able to get the time off work so we packed up and went without him.  The trip was fun, but tiring.  It was interesting doing for the kids all alone on the trip, but I think I managed just fine.  I had some help from time to time.  Jared's younger sis Cam met me there from Utah to hang and help out with the kids and it was much appreciated.  My mom was a great help on the way up there and back.  (Yes we drove 8 hours with the kids).

We ate, shopped, went to the M&M factory, saw the lions at MGM, went to see the Lion King show, Swam, ate, visited and did a little shopping.  We stayed at the Planet Hollywood and it was neat because there were a lot of celebrities in town for the Billboard Music Awards that were happening of course on the day we left.  I saw that stupid girl from the Bachelor, Vienna (at first I couldn't think of her name and I kept saying "there's that sausage girl) at the shops in Planet Hollywood with her new love interest Casey that was on the bachelorette the following season and I also ran into Jerry Seinfield and Larry Miller (the bald dude off of Pretty Woman) at the forum shops in Cesar's Palace.  It was a good time and I am very happy we went.  Kade loved Las Begas!! ;)

My Girlfriend Elisha happened to be there from Phoenix the exact same weekend, we caught up together for lunch at Cesar's Palace.  Love her so much, she is the biggest sweetheart.

This is the kid that played Simba in the Lion King Play, Kade was so amazed at him, he couldn't stop staring.  So funny!

My Handsome brother, we love uncle Lane!!
