Vegas Baby!



Three days before Christmas we went to the Maaco Bowl game in Las Vegas with our friends The Lambert's and no kids. Thanks to my awesome sister-in-law and her family for watching our kiddos.
We had so much fun! It started with a hilarious drive down with all four of us signing/screaming at the top of our lungs some of the best power ballads from the 90's. Great CD Kim, I need a copy.
Then when we got to the Hotel and were checking in we saw the football players walking out of the lobby, so Kim and I ran over and gave them high-fives as they were walking out. I was too busy being excited that I didn't get my camera out, Kim has the pictures. We saw The Kruger brothers Jordan Wynn, Coach Wittingham, and got a picture with Matt Asiata. It was awesome!

The game was still fun even though we lost, and it was so exciting to be there with so many other die hard Utah fans. This is certainly something we will do again.

A Little naughty, oh well you know the saying, "What happens in Vegas..."


Here's Dave's spread at the Rio's Carnival World Buffet.

Here's the view from our room, not too shabby huh.


The Planet Hollywood was really fun to stay at, and the rooms were pretty sweet as well.


Aww, the love birds at Ceasar's Palace


Pretty cool shot right, it almost feels like we are really in Paris


Dave kept yelling Peter out the window until Spider-man turned around, it was pretty funny.



Since there was some crazy raining and flooding in Southern Utah Dave had to pull of the road at 60 mph to take this shot. Never mind that I was sleeping, and he almost sent us off the edge to get the picture. It was worth it. "River shot"


It took us 7 1/2 hours to get home, due to some stopping and the time change. So here's Dave trying to entertain himself, and us as well.


We also hit up the Planet Hollywood Breakfast buffet, and it was sooooooo good. We stayed so long that they started bringing out lunch, which the guys totally took advantage of. Dave didn't feel like eating again until the next day, at lunch. Good times.

This was the first time we had been away from our kids since Makay was born (not because I'm a sappy mom that doesn't want to leave her kids, more because Makay was a hard baby and tiny toddler). It was so great to spend time with my Husband! And much needed.

Thanks to Jason and Kim for driving and taking care of all the reservations, we definitely need to do it again. Double Rainbow forever!!
