We decided to take a little trip to Vegas and St.George before I went back to work this week. Our friend Caitlin lives in Vegas and we wanted to come see her while we were down there. I called her and she said she would love for us to visit so we added an extra night into our plans. We left Wednesday day and drove to Vegas to stay the night with Caitlin and Steve, Thursday we spent the day on the strip and shopping at the outlets in Vegas before meeting them at Claim Jumper that evening for dinner. It was so much fun to see Caitlin and Steve and catch up with them! Caitlin is such an awesome friend and I realized how much I missed her seeing her again.
Thursday night we drove to St.George for the remainder of the weekend. Friday we attended the St. George temple where we all took turns doing initiatories and we met a lovely old lady. It was a really neat experience and I loved that little lady! She inspired me because she attends the temple daily and not only does she attend daily but she knocks down 2 sessions each day, AMAZING! Thursday afternoon we went swimming and then to dinner. Noah and Kip loved the swimming pool while Cass, Ty and I thought it was way to cold!
Saturday we went to breakfast since it was Cassie's birthday and then we went shopping all day. We also took Cassie for her first Jack in the box experience, she loved it! Then we drove home to meet the family for dinner at Pizza Ria for Cassie's birthday dinner. Ty had a blowout and I had taken his extra outfit out of the bag. We couldn't reach his clothes in the car because his bag was the first one packed in the trunk (I know..I am a terrible mother!). Needless to say Ty spent the time at Pizza Ria wrapped in a blanket!
The kids were awesome in the car and the whole trip for that matter! Kip was an good sport because we did a LOT of shopping! I decided that I hate Vegas and I was really glad Ty wasn't old enough to understand what a bad place it is down on the strip. Kip compared it to a rated R movie because although there are a lot of good things to do down on the strip there are things that make it a place you don't want to see or be around.
Sunday we were able to spend at my cousin's baby blessing. Her baby, Hudson was born about 3 weeks after Ty. We love supporting our family and wouldn't have missed such a wonderful event like a blessing!

That's too bad about Ty's blow out at the Pizza place. Sometimes you are just unprepared and just have to laugh. When Amira was 2 months old we went to San Diego, we got to the airport and I realized I forgot her diaper bag sitting by the door at home. I didn't have ANYTHING, but now I just look back and laugh. I'm glad you guys had a good and safe trip.
