That's what you get for waking up in Vegas...

Britton's "internship" had us heading down to Las Vegas this summer. Jack and I stayed with him until my doctor's appointments were weekly, then we came back up to Utah to wait for Miles to arrive. These are pictures of some of our Vegas "adventures"...


Britton and Jack at the "hotel".



Playing in the pool - thank goodness for the pool, I was melting like a popsicle!!


Yeah, I actually let a picture be taken of myself while in the prego bathing suit...scary, I know! LOL


Jack LOVED getting to see and hang out with his Aunt, Uncle and cousins who live down that way.


Some months ago, Jack learned learned about pirates and would answer "Aarggghh" while closing one eye when you asked, "What does the pirate say?" So we thought we would take him over to see the pirate ships at the Treasure Island hotel. We were there in time to see the "show" and wondered how Jack would like it. This was before it started, but we didn't get to stay until the end. We think we've traumatized the poor kid because he went completely bonkers when the fake cannons started firing and the fake fire started pouring out of the backdrop. It didn't help much that we were on the front lines and felt the scorching heat from the fire. Poor Jack is now terrified of anything "hot"; steam, smoke, fire, fireworks, etc. I'm so sad about that.


I can't remember, but I think this lion habitat was at Mandalay Bay.


Jack practicing for December, "Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas!"


Britton's sister invited us to go swimming with them on her birthday and we had SO much fun - I'll have to download the videos soon. :D


Mommy (aka. me) went to get a much needed and (hopefully well deserved) massage, so Daddy and Jack got some time alone together. They went to Circus Circus and had a blast playing games and winning stuffed animals.


I found Jack asleep during naptime just like this one day. It was so cute...it looks like he's posing there with his stuffed animals and books. So sweet!


Britton's sister watched Jack overnight for us on our anniversary, and I passed by the Hoover Dam on my way to and from her house. Although I've never been there before, I wasn't willing to stop and "sightsee". I did think that the bridge they are building was quite amazing...I think it is pretty awesome how they are building it up from both sides supporting the arches with all those cables - WOW!


For our anniversary, we went to the buffet at the Paris for dinner and then got to see the Variety show (for free), and even had upgraded seating when they saw my huge belly and me ambling over to the bar stools they were planning to seat us in - gotta love it!!


I have really been wanting to take Jack to see a movie in the movie theatre, but we haven't made it that far yet. This is a picture from our attempt to go see "Up". I don't think Jack liked how loud the volume was, and there were some "scary" (meaning something that involved fire or smoke) previews. We made it about 5 or 10 minutes in and gave up. :(

I'm just glad you didn't melt! LOL and that I got to spend a few hours with you while you were there! Great pictures, I love them all! ESPECIALLY you in the prego bathing suit in the pool!

ps- I don't think Jack has enough floatation devices on him in the pool! Don't you care about my nephew at all?? ;)

Hey I would love your help with my pictures. I noticed too and am so not computer savvy. Hope all is well and that Britton will be home soon!
