Vegas!


Ok, so we went to Vegas over Spring Break. It was just nice to get away and take a break!
We spent a lot of time walking around and going into the various Casinos. We ate the yummy buffet at the Bellagio. The desserts were my favorite; they were just too pretty to eat!
Following are just a few pictures we took.




























While there, we went to the National History Museum right off the strip. We thought that this trip we would go do fun stuff that we normally wouldn't do. It was quite interesting. This sting ray kept trying to get out and would bob his head up and down along the whole edge of the water tank. It was rather funny.


This was pretty cool. The little skeleton in the middle is that of a normal shark. The huge one is of like a prehistoric kind of shark skeleton they found fossilized. Can you imagine those teeth coming at ya when you're swimming in the ocean...it could swallow a human whole!




These little fish kept trying to bite at Dan's finger...it was pretty funny! They would follow his hand around....they thought it was snack time.


So, lame-o but I wanted a picture next to the M&M racecar so, of course, I had to pose with M&M's!









So, while we were in Vegas, some friends from our ward were on their way back up to Ogden from CA. Because Vegas was on the route, they stopped by and hung out with us for a night.

Here we found the Coca Cola bear...he was so cute and a lil bit creepy!


These boys are so funny! I swear, my mouth starts to hurt from laughing so hard! They just fuel off of each other!










We stayed at the Stratosphere so we got free passes to go to the top. We have already done the rides before so we didn't want to spend our money doing them. It is so pretty at the top!



Another pic of the silly boys!









So, we went up to where the big wooden horse is (I think it's Caesars Palace? Anyone?) and I wanted to go check out the educational toys section. I turn the corner and this is what I find...Dan playing with the cars! Who needs kids when you're married to the best kid ever! :)

So, that was our vacation. Don't count on continued lengthy posts with pictures. We don't have any fun plans set up for the summer!

Update

Ok...here's a 5 second update (I'm trying to procrastinate some very important things because I really really don't want to do them...I'll be sorry by the time tonight roles around!)

In a nut shell, the end of the semester is drawing to a close (2 weeks left) which means I'll be done teaching at Weber State for the summer. In my insane way of being too bored during the summer with only a part time job and still getting paid from Weber State, I've signed on to open a summer preschool with another teacher that I work with. It will be at her house because she is licensed and everything and it'll be each day for a few hours. Because, of course, that wasn't enough for me, I'll also be watching 2 of the cutest 4 year old boys. So, because they'll be in my class each day, I'll just bring them home with me until their parents can pick them up around 5pm! Basically, I don't get a break this summer but the income will be good! :) And it will be fun to have kids in the house again. Except I'm working on making my house child friendly again...after Meghan and her kids left, there was no need!

We're also signed up to play on a softball league! I am not good at all but Dan has an amazing hit and can hit them out of the park! I'm super excited! Thanks Shaylee and Justin! :)

Dan's looking for a job in this crappy economy...sucks! I feel very blessed to have the jobs that I do!

We painted our bedroom and installed a fan...it looks great! Also painted the hallway leading upstairs...glad it's done! Dan's been working on fixing up the house a bit which I'm grateful for. Right now it seems like we'll be here forever!

I just got a new calling! I'm a Young Womens advisor. Dan's been the Young Men's secretary for a few months now so at least we can go to mutual, Youth Conference and stuff together. He really enjoys it and I'm a little bit nervous. I was in the nursery for months so it's quite the change!

Hm...trying to think of what else to post. I need to post pics of Vegas over spring break...but alas, that will have to wait.

Ok, done procrastinating...sorry there's no pics yet! It'll have to be on my list of things to do!! :)
