Our flight to Vegas




So it was our 13 year anniversary on the 26th so we decided to have a little get away and run off to Vegas for the weekend.  We asked John and Shahna to go with us since it is also their anniversary next month. We had a compete blast.  So here we are on our flight to Las Vegas......  I was scared to death.  The last time I flew was when I was about 5 and I though I was going to fall through the floor of the plane.  I can say that I did overcome that fear, but this time I was so afraid the engine was going to shut down and there we have it, we would falling out of the sky and be dead and not be able to raise the girls.  We survived or should I say I survived and now I would do it again and I hope not be as scared. 

Vegas Baby!!!!

Statue of Liberty in front of New York - New York
Excalibur - this is where we stayed.
Water show at Mandalay Bay.
New York - New York
Randall trying to be sexy!!!

I love the look of these buildings.  They make you feel like you are really there.  (I hope Randy doesn't feel like he is really the woman in the bikini though).  Randy and I went on the roller coaster at New York - New York and were terrified.  I told him that I was so glad that we weren't riding it in the day because it is scary enough at night.  On the way up to the top of the roller coaster I was so scared so I started to say a prayer out loud for us.  Randy was laughing and I said "I could care less if anyone hears me I am scared to death and I would like to come off of this thing alive."  Needless to say I would do it again, it was such a rush. 

Shark Reef




This is a picture of us at the Shark Reef.  We had a good time but were so tired.  We had just arrived in Vegas and had not had any sleep the night before or that day.  We had to leave home at 3:00 a.m. and didn't go to bed until around 12:00 a.m. that night.  Randy, John and Shahna all got some sleep but when I know that I have to get up in a few hours I can't sleep for some odd reason.  We were exhausted and just kinda there.  Although we were tired we still kept going into the morning around 2:30 or so.  Sleep that night was so nice and I think we all slept like babies. 

Massage of a life time....



Randall and Shahna were dying the whole time to get a massage so here they are.  they absolutely loved it.

Tournament of the Kings



We went to the Jousting show at the Excalibur and had a good time.  For those of you who are thinking of going to Vegas this show was awesome and worth the money.  They serve you a dinner and you eat it all with your hands just like you would in the mid evil times.  The horses are amazing and are so calm.  They are around fire and fireworks and very loud noises and don't even flinch. We asked the guy that is in the last picture how much they pay for these horses and he said around $55 grand.  Can you imagine?  I told Randy I would love to take one of them home with me.  What an awesome show - I love to see it again. 
Jed - Marjorie - Me - Randy - Shahna and John

Biggest chocolate fountain in the world.

We were so lucky to get to go to the Defending the Cave men show with Jed and Marj and also to eat dinner with them.  The show was so funny and we laughed our guts out.  There was some crude parts in it but we looked past them and just enjoyed the comedy.  Jed and Marj used to live here and moved to Vegas about 4 years ago and have been deeply missed since.  It was so nice to get to spend the evening with them.  Then the next day they came and got us and took us to downtown Vegas and where we went shopping at the outlet stores. Vegas is so big and there is so much to do but you get lost so it was so nice to have someone take you around to see all of the main attractions and know where they are going.  When we arrived in Vegas and were walking around by ourselves we got lost so bad.  Those casinos are so big and you have no idea where you are going and what you are doing. 

LoUnGiN in the PoOl....



Gotta love it....  the weather was awesome and we enjoyed every minute of it.  Didn't figure you all wanted to see us in our suits so this is all you get.  hehe
The is two men up at the top of this building cleaning the windows.... this has got to be the worst job ever.
M & M World
MGM Grand
Just a few fun pictures.  

Who's got Talent?



MaKayja thought it was pretty fun to put KortLyn up to the piano to play it.  When I got her down she was so mad and wanted to play some more.  What a silly girl. 

Learning to draw..... or suck on crayons????




Last night I was cleaning up after dinner and thought to myself  "wow KortLyn is being really quite."  So I started to look for her and this is where I found her, in the bedroom playing.  It is a good thing she can't get the lids off of the markers yet or that she hasn't learned to draw because of course it is always everything other than paper.  As of yet.... right.

All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth



MaKayja has now lost her two front teeth.  She is so tough.  They weren't quite loose enough to pull but she insisted that Randy try really hard to get them out.  So of course he did.  He had to pull really hard but succeeded in the end.  She didn't even bat an eye.  She is one tough cookie.

Learning to Crawl......




Yippee, KortLyn has officially learned to crawl.  She cruises around the house and gets into a lot of mischief.  All of the pictures or things that were put down low are now put away for awhile. I love nothing more than to be in the other room and for her to crawl in and find me.  Randy had to go on data collections for work and I told him "watch KortLyn will start to crawl while you are gone."  Of course he didn't believe me and said "whatever."  Did she ever prove him wrong.  Sorry Randall......  I told him on the phone that she had crawled two steps and he of course thought I was lying, but I wasn't.  When he got home she showed him what a big girl she is and crawled about 10 steps.  Gotta love it when they get bigger.

Easter....Easter...Easter





So the easter bunny paid a visit to our house.  Easter is one of the girls favorite holidays and they get so excited for it every year.  Come January we always get asked "when is easter coming, I want easter to be here."  I think it is so cute what kids get excited over.  KodiAnn and MaKayja wrote the easter bunny a letter and left him some milk (isn't that usually for Santa). This year the easter bunny brought the girls a kite, movies and sleeping bags for the camper and of course the usual, candy.  KortLyn got a dress and a baby since she is to little for all the other.  She loves her little baby and is very protective of it, none of us can touch it or she cries. Then easter afternoon we all went to Grandma and Grandpa Skinner's house and had a easter egg hunt and a yummy dinner.  Thanks Ellen we appreciate it and the girls had a ton of fun.  So I guess it is another year till the Easter Bunny comes. (hehe)

KortLyn is so sweet when she sleeps.   I love more than anything to see a baby wake up and stretch and then just grin from ear to ear.
