The girl's at Dick's Last Resort....that is a crazy place!

The Beautiful Bride Melinda!!

An INSANELY yummy CHOCOLATE store in the Bellagio hotel. It makes every chocolate treat known to man...and this is a chocolate fountain with white, milk, and dark chocolate flowing down!
The ladies at lunch....Dick's write crazy phrases on paper...makes them into hats...and makes you wear them. What embarrassing fun! haha!
My best friend of 29 years..... Melinda
Brandi and Heather
Striking a pose with the Blue M&M outside M&M World....can you see a chocolate theme in this trip! haha! I actually didn't buy anything for me....just the kids. I start Weight watchers this week. Ugh! Needs to be done though!
Wonderful live gardens in the Bellagio hotel....
Melinda's mom, aunt and Melinda in Ceasar's Forum Shops
John and Melinda at their dinner....the night before they tied the knot
A picture of my mom and I in front of the Excalibur Hotel......where we stayed two of the nights.
Viva Las Vegas! Keith allowed me to go see my best friend Melinda get married and also go to my cousin's b-day party in Las Vegas this last weekend. I went for 5 days and it was awesome. Since I was alone....I could have gone to the armpit of the US and I would have been happy! Plus it helps to have some nice people to hang with....one of which was my mom! I was so excited that she got to meet me there....even if it were only for a few days. So first my friend Melinda married her now husband John at the Howard Johnson hotel on South Las Vegas Blvd....which was very nice. It was like seeing my sister get married....I was so happy for her, but in denial at the same time. I am just so happy she found someone to share her life with! After the wedding I went back to my Aunt Janie's house and helped her get ready for the big birthday bash at her house. I had a cousin Tobe turning 40, a cousin Kyle turning 13, cousin Tanner turning 9, and a friend Anthony turning 32 (I think 32). Anyway....lots of b-days....so we had 4 cakes! My aunt catered food from Bucca da Beppa and it was yummy! I didn't get much sleep while I was in Vegas but I had fun hanging with family and friends. On a silly side note....every time I would talk to Kenna on the phone while I was in Vegas she would say "Viva las Vegas Mom!" I would laugh and say "Viva las Vegas Kenna!" Makes sense since one of her favorite songs when she turned two was Elvis's rendition of Viva Las Vegas. She dances hilariously to that song!
I will say I do not miss walking around at 11pm at night and it still being 99 degrees outside! yuck! I like my 70 degree for a high Colorado weather!!! It's good to be home.
Konner carrying his doodlepro....he loves to bring it to me (and only me....no one else can evidently draw like me....haha) and he hands it to me.....gives me the pin and then dances around in anticipation and excitement while he waits to see what I will draw. Very funny.
Kassie is hot and lying on the floor to cool off.....Kenna I am sure is not helping the situation.
Konner and his beloved blanket.....no other one will do!! What a face....he sucks on his blanket instead of a binky or thumb.
What a charmer.....he is such a sweet boy. I will tell you what though.....if there is a way to hurt yourself doing something....he will find a way and do it!!! Just yesterday he was looking at a DVD case and pinched his tummy skin in the case when he closed it......pinched it so hard it bled on his diaper!!
