LAS VEGAS BABY!

We had such a great time in Las Vegas! It went by too fast and we both came back to busy life.

This first picture was the day we arrived at my sister's house in Henderson

We were so excited to see our first Las Vegas show the Beatles, "Love" by Cirque de Soleil

My sister and brother-in-law had never been to a show there either.

My niece and nephew wrestling. Despite the fact Caden is 2 1/2 years older than Maliya, she keeps up with him and almost always ends up on top :)

For St. Patrick's Day we decided to make and eat green jello.

We were able to do a session in the Las Vegas Temple which was a great experience.
( Someday Barrett and I will make a blooper slideshow of the not-so-good pictures strangers take for us. Here is the best of the three taken at the temple. The stranger was just a little crooked.)

One morning we went on a long hike/walk around Lake Mead that used to be a railroad track.

Because it was formally a railroad track, there were awesome tunnels to walk through.

We were able to watch one of Ryan's volleyball teams play a game.

Ryan was super busy the whole week and this is a picture of what he was doing constantly.

Another candid picture by a stranger... the top of the sign is cut off, but at least it's not as crooked.

Waiting for the fountain show...

On our way home :( Barrett's face shows more of how we felt. We had a great time with Brittney, Ryan, Maliya, Caden and hope to see them soon. Thanks for everything... we love you guys!

Update...

I know that I haven't posted for a long time, but there is nothing going on worth posting. However, I know that people like to look at blogs and read a new post even if it is not significant (sorry there are no pictures). So here goes: Barrett has been extremely busy with school the last few weeks so I have lost my hubby to studying. We have been able to go on a few dates though, including ice skating with my sister and brother-in-law and attending a U gymnastics meet last week with our friends Natalie and Robbie. My life has also been busy and stressful with work. But I am on the downhill until our vacation. Yes, we are going to visit my sister in Henderson, Nevada for Barrett's Spring Break and leave in 3 days! Neither of us have ever needed a break more. While I am down in Vegas I plan to make some drastic changes to my blog. There is a lot I want to take off and add around my blog, so look forward to that. Plus we will have tons of pictures from our trip from all the fun stuff we have planned! Here is my update, but it's mostly because I wanted to change my background to something more springy and less snowy, hoping this may scare the snow away until the next winter. Warm weather here we come...
