"In our search to obtain relief from the stresses of life, may we earnestly seek ways to simplify our lives. May we comply with the inspired counsel and direction the Lord has given us in the great plan of happiness. May we be worthy to have the companionship of the Holy Ghost and follow the guidance of the Spirit as we navigate this mortal journey. May we prepare ourselves to accomplish the ultimate purpose of this mortal test- to return and live with our Heavenly Father."

Las Vegas!

In no particular order....


The two pictures above are of the hotel. We stayed at The Vdara. It just opened last winter. We weren't really sure what to expect but it turned out to be way nice! The Vdara has no casino so when you walk in you don't have all the people, noise and smoke smell. It was great! The architecture of the new City Center was awesome! I didn't get pictures so I stole these two from the Internet.




These two pictures were at the Bellagio. We ate dinner there the first night and this was a cool flower garden they had. It smelled so great and the flowers were amazing. The giant ants and snail were also pretty cool!



I took this because I thought the canoe sculpture thing was cool. Right after I snapped this picture a limo pulled up with a girl hanging out the winder with puke all down the outside of the limo. It was pretty disgusting and funny at the same time. Gotta love Vegas.

These flowers were made of chocolate!

A chocolate fountain. Pretty cool!


My parents and brother and sis-in-law drove down on Saturday to spend the day with us. I am so glad they came, it was a lot of fun!

Another picture inside the flower garden.


The view from our room. We had the perfect view to watch the fountains at the Bellagio. It was so cool and we were so mesmerized by it every time. Not sure why it was so mesmerizing but it was! We also had a great view of Donny and Marie. Don't be jealous.
We walked the whole time we were there. I don't even know how much we walked but we got enough exercise to last us for a while. Our feet and legs hurt. I felt like I was 80 years old. We went to The Bodies exhibit on Friday (which always amazes me to look and learn about the human body) On Saturday night after my parents left we had tickets to go see a Cirqu Du Soleil show. It was at Treasure Island. It was a late show so I was dead tired but it was a really great show. The people in it are amazing at what they do!
We missed the kids like crazy and we were glad to get home but we had so much fun!

It's so nice to get away and have a 2nd honeymoon every so often. I'm glad you guys had a good time. I want that chocolate fountain in my house. Maybe when we remodel in 20 years. :) Too bad you didn't get a pic of the puke- welcome to Vegas baby.
