Last Trip to Las Vegas

Karrissa and Joe are moving to Georgia in August, so the family thought we would take one last trip down to Las Vegas together! We mostly went down to see the girls dance in their concert and to celebrate Ryan's birthday. We had a blast! I could not be more blessed with a greater family. 

A trip with the family is nothing without a million pictures, right? Here's what our weekend looked like:

Jesse and I got there Friday afternoon after everyone was already there. 
We drove straight to The Cheesecake Factory to meet the fam. 
Ky bug loves her uncle Jesse  :) 
 Gross Greyson, that's your mom! 
 I missed her way too much! 
What are Brent and Tasha doing? Oh, we don't know. 
 Girls :)
 Bums. 
After dinner we watched the Bellagio fountain show! 
Lovey dovey moments captured by Ryan
 Coco and Ry
 Saturday was a fun, busy day! I laid in bed with M in the morning, talking and reading books! I can't wait for a daughter of my own… :) I asked her to make her "I'm excited for my dance concert!" face and this is what she came up with… More of a creepy devil face, but it'll do. 
 Poppa picked up bagels and donuts for Ry-guy's birthday breakfast! 
 I LOVED watched the girls do their dance! I am positive I will cry when I watch my own children dance! They did such a good job :)
 While mom and dad took care of the children, the siblings went to Maggiano's for dinner, followed by Le Reve the show. We had such a good time! I love my siblings, husband, and sister-in-law so much, it's not even funny. The Cirque De Soleil show was INCREDIBLE. This was my second time seeing it and it was just as awesome as the first time. If you haven't seen it, please, go to it! Do I secretly wish I could go back in life and be part of the show? Yes. Definitely. I'll even take not quitting gymnastics, too. 

Birthday boy! 
 Crappy picture, but we had the corner table on the second floor, which was so fun! 
 Our waiter brought some cookies for the birthday boy and all at the same time, without knowing, Karrissa, Tasha, and myself had our phones out and were doing anything possible to get a good picture of Ryan blowing out the candle. I might have crawled on the table, Tasha was kneeling on her chair, and Karrissa was right next to him ready to go… Once the boys noticed what we were doing they said, "Go get 'em girls!" Bahaha. Probably had to be there… but it was so funny! What is instagram doing to us all?!  Anyway, that's how I captured this cute moment. 
 LOVED IT! 
 Why hello Mrs. Bubble bum. Why is that happening? 
 Never have a boy take your pictures…. 
 After the show the boys wanted to gamble a bit… Let's just say it was the funniest twenty minutes of our lives. Karrissa was having a heart attack because she didn't like the boys wasting money but Joe, Ryan, and Jesse were having the time of their lives. 
 Don't worry, they cashed out just in time… Jesse got 18 cents back! 
We attended sacrament meeting on Sunday, took naps, had a BBQ lunch, and then headed home! 
Before we left Greyson got his first haircut! I just am obsessed with that little smirk! 
 Jesse and I fought over who had to drive home the rest of the way after stopping for Olive Garden in St. George with everyone… but mother came to the rescue! She so kindly offered to drive us children home :) We got treats and sang country songs while Jesse watched a show. I'm thankful for that mommy of mine! 

The end!! It was a short, but oh so sweet vacation. I'm so grateful for my parents getting the Le Reve tickets for everyone and for paying for dinners! Also, thankful for Karrissa and Joe for letting so many people into their home. I sure love that family of mine! :)
