Vegas Tourney

January 28th and 29th we headed down to Vegas, for Griffin to play in a Golf Tourney.

We headed out early on Saturday morning so we could get there in enough time to enjoy the day.

We hit Vegas around 2 ish and drove straight to a golf course so Devin and Griff wouldn't miss their tee time.

After we dropped Griff and Dev off Bre and I went and checked into our Hotel at the Luxor.

Our room was in the actual pyramid!!

We have stayed in the Luxor numerous times but never had a room in the Pyramid.

It was awesome!!

Other then the elevator rode up on an angle... little scary!

Bre and I got all freshened up for the night and headed out on the Strip.

It was such a nice night!!

We then headed to the car and drove to pick up the boys from the golf course.

It was dinner time so we all headed to get some pizza!!!

From driving all morning and having a busy rest of the day we decided to

head back to the hotel and just relax!!

So the boys laid down and were out!!

So Bre and I watched some TV and finally fell asleep too.

We are some party animals. :)

In the morning the boys took off early to make it on time to the Golf Tourney for Griff!!

Bre and I hung out in the hotel room for a few hours then decided to hit the Strip yet again.

We walked down one side to the Belagio watched the show then back up the other side.

It was a lot of walking and a lot of seeing all the amazing hotels inside and out, we wore our self's out.

When we got the the New York New York we went and sat inside to talk while we waited for the boys to get done with their game.

Griff came and picked us up and we went inside the Tropicana so Griff could play some 21... He won us some money :)!!

What a fun yet short trip to Vegas!

It is always nice to get out and just relax!!

They also got a letter or poem or just something from our hearts that we had written out for them.

This is what I did for them:

My Grandparents

My Grandma & Grandpa

Are one of a kind.

Who makes you feel so special

And warm inside.

They always give

you a hug or two.

And hold you close

with a smile for you.

Their house has always

been my favorite.

So welcoming and loving

No matter where you sit.

When you're down or sad

Give them a call.
They know just what

To say to never let you fall.

With great stories from each

And a treat in your hand.

You can't help but to listen

feeling just so grand.

When I think of my Grandparents

I smile from ear to ear.
They are just so amazing

Good thing their always near.

I Love them!!

Happy Anniversary Grandma and Grandpa!!

Congrats on 50 years.

It will be amazing when Griff and I are at that time of our lives. Surrounded by all our loved ones our kids and their better half and kids!!

Just like my grandpa said family is the best thing in the world you can't ask to be around better people!!

Freaky 13th

Some Superstitious People say:

- It is not good to be born on Friday the 13th because it means bad luck for life.
- It is not good on that day, change your bed because you will have bad dreams.

- Also one superstition says, the one who pass a funeral procession on this day will die tomorrow.

- On Friday the 13th, do not cut your hair, because a family member will die.

- Also, do not cut your nails on that day, it will be followed by bad luck.

- Do not start a new job or business on Friday the 13th, it will be followed by collapse or bankrupt.

- Do not start traveling on this day, only problems can occur.

- Also, ships should not be allowed to set sailing because it can sink into the sea.

- At the end, do not consult the astrologer on Friday the 13th, because of superstitions.

So, take care about Friday 13th. It is recommended to go for a sleep or going out into nature. Sometimes is not bad to be superstitious in a small amount.

It is crazy how Friday the 13th makes you think of all these things!!
I'm hoping to get to watch this movie tonight!! Haha Good Ol' Friday the 13th!!
I am just glad that I am not at work today.
As much as I'd like to say that I am not Superstitious, well sometimes I guess I am!
When I hold a mirror I think about if it were to brake... Or if I see a ladder I don't walk under it... Same with if I see a black cat!!
I bet we all have a little superstitious bone in our body!! :D

Happy Freaky Friday the 13th Everyone!!!

Play Dough and Polish

I love spending time with my cute little girls!! Last week I spent all Friday hanging out with them.

We played with Laryssa's Play Dough kit.

She made me Pretzels, Cookies, and Strawberries out of Play Dough.

We had spent quite awhile playing!!

Painting our nails!!

We painted Jaelyn's toes for the first time!!

She was so funny to watch.

She was confused why her mom was holding her foot and kept looking at her!

She kept pulling her foot away from her mom so her nail polish was on more then her toe nails haha!!

What a silly little girl.

Love them so much!

Ringing in the New Year!

New Years party with my Parents!!!

Griffin drove with his brother Devin down to Arizona, where his brother lives, to return their rental car and drive back his own car.

Reason being, they had their baby boy 9 weeks early over Christmas and had to figure out how to get everything in order. So Griff offered to drive with him to AZ so he had some company.

Yes 24 hours of straight driving... but on the bright side they did get to golf, stop in Vegas for a bit, and have a good brother bonding trip!!

So since he was out of town for the Holiday I spent it over with my parents.

They made it so fun :D

I have the best parents ever!!!

We kicked the night off with some Fondue.

Meat, Cheese, and Chocolate.

Our drink for the party!!

Sparkling Cider.

Delish...

I promise you my mom was here celebrating with us haha.

But she just didn't want to be in pictures because her hair wasn't done..

.. even though she still looked cute!

This one is for you Dad!!!

Hahah!

My last night drinking soda/ carbanation.

This is my off year!

Happy Early New Years!!

My poor dad had to work bright and early the next day...

So he was a trooper and stayed up till 11:30pm but he just got way tired and had to go to bed.

So around 10ish we went out and lite up some fire works so he could ring in the new year!!

Our entertanment for the night!!

We LOVE Seinfeld!!!!

Wishing Griffy Poo a Happy New Years!!!!

He was very sleepy and almost asleep.

Just a few seconds till 2012 is here!!

Pots and Pans are the best way to ring in the new year!!!

I felt like I was 7 again while banging on my pan!!

There is my Mom!!! Told you she was there :D

Thanks mom and dad for letting me hang out with you guys!!

Love you!

Thinking back...

... To the days of when we were dating.

It is crazy how much things have changed since High School and after High School days.

8 Years have passed since we starting dating and now we have been married for about 1 1/2 years.

Man time sure does fly.

It is hard to go out like we did when we were dating,

most days and weekends we just want to stay home and hang out.

I love it!!

Of course going out is fun but it is amazing how staying home is so much fun!!

We have many shows that we watch together, Treats we make together, and fun conversations that we have.

It blows my mind that we have been through so much together and our relationship keeps growing stronger!!

With our 8 year dating anniversary just passing, Griffin's mission date passing, and Valentines coming up on us I have been thinking a lot of us lately!!

"Everything happens for a reason" I love this saying so much!!

Pigeon Problem...

Griff and I have been living in our house for a couple years now (Griff lived their before we got married), and every day since we have had roof mates... The dreaded Pigeons!!! These dang pigeons live on top of all the houses in our neighbourhood!! How annoying I know. We have to sweep our walk way a couple times a week and really should sweep it every day. That is the last thing we want to do when we get home from work. Griff will go out with a bucket of soapy water and clean it really good. Yet the pigeon poop is back the very next day! We are so dang feed up with this problem.
The other day I get home from work and almost step on a dead pigeon... It scared me so bad. I was ticked!! Why the heck was there a dead nasty bird by our house? That is so gross and not to mention so unsanitary...
So I call Griff and ask him if he did something to the bird because he is so frustrated with the problem that he says he wants a blow dart gun to get rid of them hahah! He of course did not hurt this gross bird.
When we both get home for the night we see a cat enjoying his dinner by our house. You guessed it the bird!!
We did get rid of it and cleaned it up I might have been freaking out while I was helping Griff dispose of the Pigeon...
We are done with this problem. We called our HOA and told them how bad the problem was and all they said was we are aware and will be doing something about it sometime soon.. Well they didn't do or say anything that made us happy. I hate that we are paying money each month to HOA for nothing!!! Makes me so mad.
So we will be getting an Owl or something to get this disgusting creatures away from our house and front door!! If there is a better solution to our problem I would love to know about it!!
