I went to Vegas this past weekend with my sister Heather & some of her good friends to celebrate her 30th birthday. We had so much fun! The weather was warm, the shopping was great, the shows were incredible... it was a great weekend! Our first day we went shopping to the Fashion Show Mall... we all found a few things. This is one of the few group pics we got, so from left to right... Lindsey, Jenelle, Hilary, Heather, Keriann, & I...
I'm just not a lucky gal... I could really enjoy gambling if I could ever win... even $10 would have been fun! I stayed with the slots, mostly pennies & nickels... they were entertaining for me.. Jenelle was our biggest winner, she won $63, cashed out & didn't think twice... I didn't lose too much, but I kept hoping to hit it big!
Hilary is Heathers room-mate in SLC & Jenelle is a good friend she met at BBW here in Logan. We all had a good time together, it was fun to make some new friends. We stayed at Mandalay Bay, it was really nice! We got adjoining rooms so we could be all together.
The weather was gorgeous, a bit windy, but anything is better than the snow! We walked down the street to a new mall, Town Square (?). It was outdoors, so nice, alot of nice stores there. Great little yogurt shop... of course I always need a treat!
We went to dinner each night, we ate at some fun places. We had sushi, salads, hamburgers, fish, nachos, ice-cream.... hey we were on vacation! It was all so yummy!
Heather, Keriann is another friend from Logan, she is also married with 3 kids, so we had alot in common. I was glad another "mom" was there for me to hang with! Lindsay work with Heather at J. Crew in SLC. We all had alot in common & tons to chat about.
Walking the Strip... we walked around alot & saw alot of interesting things... you really see it all there in Vegas... the good, the bad & the ugly!
The grounds at Mandalay Bay were so nice & green & lush. There is so many pretty places to see.
Here we are in the lobby of Mandalay Bay, it was on the end of the Strip, but it was great. We were able to see a couple shows. We saw Phantom of the Opera... so incredible! I had always wanted to see it & it was awesome! We all loved it. We also saw a Cirque de Soleil show, Mystere. I didn't know much about it previous, but it was really good. Amazing what people can do with their bodies, it was very interesting & entertaining. I'm glad we were able to see them.
It was alot of fun to go with Heather, I really enjoyed hangin' out with her & her friends. I'm so glad to have a sister I can be so close with. I'm truly blessed to have her in my life...
We spent alot of time at the pool. It was so nice! There was a lazy river and a wave pool, and tons of room. It was always busy, but so relaxing & fun. We all got sunburned, but so worth it! Especially coming home to a blizzard! The weekend flew by way to quickly, but I had a wonderful time! Thanks for turning 30 Heather!

We went to West Yellowstone this past weekend with Andy & Jodi Miller (Branden's sister) & our good friends, Pat & Kolett Lewis. We had a great time, we stayed in a condo in West Yellowstone & hung out, worked out (thanks Kolett!) pigged out, rocked out (guitar hero world tour) & peeled out riding snowmobiles through Yellowstone Park. We had a fabulous time with fabulous friends! 
Pat & Kolett, getting frisky in town. It was pretty dead, but we walked around & shopped a little. It was beautiful weather, but cold! Brrr!
Aren't we the best looking people ever! We are all decked out & ready to ride! We rented snowmobiles, & all the gear in town & did a tour into Yellowstone up to Old Faithful. It was alot of fun, I had always wanted to do that. Branden used to snowmobile alot & thought it sounded boring with speed limits & all, but we decided we better go before they close the park to snowmobiling forever. 
Me, Kolett & Jodi ... we are ready! We are total babes.
Waiting for Old Faithful, it was a gorgeous day, clear & cold. We ate lunch in a yert & then watched the geyser before heading back to West Yellowstone.
Pat & the bison .... we saw mostly bison & elk. Also a coyote, bald eagles, swans & we did see wolf prints! That was the closest we came...
Branden & I, we both really enjoyed ourselves. We had a lot of fun together & being with our friends. It was a great anniversary weekend.
Don't ask... well it was our sign. People said everyone looks alike in the snomobile gear, so we came up with our sign ... so no one would get lost... we were really cool! (not!)
If you look in the distance, you can see the Tetons. It was a very clear day & so gorgeous! So our guide took us on a detour to see the Tetons. Such beautiful scenery!
Pat & Kolett, ready to ride!

For our 9th Anniversary we went to West Yellowstone with some good friends. We rented snowmobiles & took a tour up into the park & up to Old Faithful. It is something I've always wanted to do, so we finally did it. We had a blast, it was so beautiful, we laughed, relaxed & enjoyed the company of good friends & family. We had a great weekend!
A peek at 9 years ago today! We look like such babies!
What a few years does to you.... a few pounds, a few wrinkles, a few kids, a LOT of good memories & hopefully many more to come!
Happy Anniversary baby... I love you!
