Las Vegas

We just got back from Vegas yesterday and we had a ton of fun. Even though we live only 5 hours away, neither Chris or I had ever been. Security One (who Chris works for) took the managers there for a "retreat". Most everything was paid for which made it even more enjoyable because we got treated really well.
We left Thursday night at 10 pm after I dropped Addysin off in Salt Lake at David & Kira's (thats Chris' brother). THANK YOU SO MUCH DAVID & KIRA FOR WATCHING HER!!! Then we started the drive with our friends Leo & Jamie. We got there at 3 am. This is the way Chris likes to travel for some reason. Its just not a road trip to him unless its in the middle of the night. We stayed at an older, cheaper hotel (because we paid for it) that night.
On Friday we drove around looking at neighborhoods that Chris, Leo and their office will be selling in and saw the Apts. they are living in. Then we checked into the Wynn Hotel which is brand new and so nice. Even the casino was classy. I didn't feel like we were walking through a fair/circus everytime we had to walk through it to get outside like the other hotels. We ate at the buffet at the hotel (so good) for lunch. For dinner we were taken out by Jacob Stocking (Chris' manager) in a limo for steak. That night we went to a show called "The Beattles Love". It was a "Cirque du soliel" which I'm not sure what that means but basically it was beattles music playing the whole time with dancing and acrobatics. We sat in the 4th row. The coolest parts were when they would swing around on ropes/bungees, and climb up the ropes with bare feet and hands and no harness. It made me a little queezy though thinking how high up they were just hanging on with their hands. The show was surprsingly clean. Definitley a family show.

Our room. I loved the pink walls. The hotel kind of had a garden theme.

The huge bathroom. It had a big tub, seperate shower, and a tv.In the Limo.

On top of a building at the restraunt. Me, Chris, Jamie, leo, & Jake. Heres the stage at the show. Those sheer curtains would go up and down. The floor moved in different shapes and different stuff would raise out of the ground like cars, a telephone booth, a bed, people, just all kinds of stuff. Also a lot of big stuff would come down from the ceiling as well. On Saturday the managers had a meeting so Jamie and I went to the pool for a couple hours. It was so beautiful. It was a huge garden and the weather was so warm. I cannot believe that 5 hours south of here it is summer weather. It is hard to be back in cold and dead Utah. At least spring is close! That afternoon we went to the mountain west basketball championship game where BYU played UNLV and we lost in the last few minutes. That night the managers had another meeting so the girls went shopping. Afterwards we walked so far down the strip and saw some fun stuff like the Bellagio water show and NY NY. Everyone except me rode the "Manhattan Express" roller coaster because I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't be good for the baby. They loved it. I love my baby though so I didn't feel left out at all. We had walked so far down the strip so we took a bus back to the hotel.

Ok, not the best picture of us but heres the pool. It was so green.

At each end of this long pool there was a big round pool.At the water show. It goes every 15 minutes and is sincronized to music. Its like watching dancers and firworks all mixed together.At Ny Ny with Leo, Jamie, Ben, & Rachel. On Sunday we drove back and got to pick up Addysin. I missed her so much and dont want to leave her ever again. But to be honest, I had so much fun just doing what I wanted to and only worrying about myself. It was the most relaxing, fun weekend I have had in... well I cant think of anything that compares to it. I'm so happy to be back to being a mom though. And even though Utah is not as warm right now, we're both glad to be back home and doing normal things.
