Vegas Getaway!

Mike and I went to Vegas last week and had an amazing time! Our ten year anniversary is coming in May. Since we will be on a vacation with my family over it we decided to celebrate early. For the first night we stayed in the Bellagio!!! Here is the view from our window. It was so cool to see the fountains from our room!

Since it is October, everything was decorated in a fall theme, it was so beautiful! This is the front lobby of the Bellagio.

This is in the Conservatory. It is amazing to me how they change everything in it every season. We took about, hmmm a million pictures just in here. :)

Another wonderful thing about Vegas is the good food! We had crepes every day we were there, Yummy!

In front of Caesar Palace.

Can't do a Vegas post without this shot!
Yep, a gold Mustang! It was fun cruising the strip in this thing!
Of course our pics are out of order because of Blogger, oh well. This is the main reason we went to Vegas. On our last night we went to the U2 Concert. It was the best one we have seen, such a great night!

Our seats were right by the back of the stage, since it was a 360 stage they were great seats!

Right by the fountain at Paris.

Cruising the strip in the gold mustang.

We got a Virgin Margarita at our favorite Mexican Restaurant in New York New York. Peach and Banana - mmmmm.

It was so much fun, and we walked probably 10 miles over 3 days! But, any calories we burned we made up for by eating crepes, gelato, and other good food. We loved seeing everything and taking a ton of pictures. Most of all, it was great to spend more time with Mike. I love him, I am so grateful he married me (almost) 10 years ago. He is my best friend, and so much fun to be with! Love ya Babe!

I love Fall. It is my favorite time of the year. But there are some things I will miss about Summer. This is one of them. Our family LOVES corn on the cob. We eat a lot of it while it is in season - in the summer. Savannah even joined in this year. She loved it, especially when she could sit on Daddy's lap and enjoy all the deliciousness of its buttery sweetness. I just thought these pictures were too cute and had to share!

Emily's Birthday

Emily turned 7 on October 2nd. I can't believe how big she is getting! We always let the kids choose what they want their party theme to be, and once again Emily wanted to have a Halloween cake and a Halloween party! We went up to Muellar Park for the family party the Sunday before her Birthday, and had a hot dog roast and lots of good food. It was so much fun.

She has been wanting a camara for a long time, and was excited to get one!
Isn't this cake awesome? Mike made it from scratch, pumpkin - yummy! Emily loved all of the cool decorations!

On her Birthday, Mike surprised her by taking the day off of work. She was so excited to see that he had stayed home just for her! He made a breakfast for all of us and then we went to Kangaroo Zoo. This place is awesome if you haven't been before! There are a ton of inflatable slides and even a minature golf section!

For her friend party that night we had a Halloween costume party. Em wanted to be a scary witch, here she is pretending to cast a spell!
We had a witch pinata and all of the girls, and Brett had fun hitting it. Mike of course, had fun swinging it around for them.

Some of her cute friends.
Happy 7th Birthday Emily! Hope you had a ton of fun. We love you!
