What happens in Vegas......

It has been a while since I up-dated my blog. My camera broke and so I haven't taken many pictures lately. I was able to sneak away for a few days and spend some great time with my best friends in Vegas. We had such a great time and we decided we will be better about getting away every year for a girls trip. We did not get much sleep because we were playing a lot, but is was very relaxing. We were able to go the PBR finals and to the Beatles show at the Mirage. It was an awesome show. We also squeezed in some shopping and almost missed our flight home. I am grateful for wonderful friends who remind me that life is to be enjoyed, not just endured. We took some great pictures and then my camera broke. I guess I will be asking Santa for a new camera this year. My friend will be e-mailing me some of her photos and I will post them in the future.

"Trik or Tree"


Halloween has always been one of our favorite holidays. Dylan came up with the idea for Batman and Robin and the boys were a great pair.
We had our annual dinner of homemade chicken noodle soup and rolls and then the kids collected tons of candy. We had our friends over for dinner followed by chasing the kiddos from house to house.
It is always fun in our neighborhood. Tate was adorable and was on a mission to collect the good stuff. He ran from house to house saying "Trik or Tree," and then would say, "Thank you, your welcome," after the candy was given to him. They also had fun carving, "punkins."
