EASTER WEEKEND

This weekend was busy and so fun! Well, lets start with Friday night. Tony and I actually went to bed at 8:30pm! Whoa...old people! Tony has started a new work schedule starting early in the morning. Granted I wake up to wake him up, but then I am back to sleep until past the time that the sun comes up! All week though we have been in bed before at least 9pm. Not sure how I sleep so much.

Now comes the fun weekend...Saturday we spent the day with my family. Easter Egg Hunt at a park in Spanish Fork. It was cold and windy. But the kids had so much fun playing on the park toys and searching for eggs. My favorite part was when I got out of the truck and I hear three little girls yelling my name as they are running towards me. Two of them were my cousins kids and of course the cutest niece ever! I saw here and started running towards her little pitter pattering feet and realized how much I had missed her! I went with her as she was looking for her Easter eggs. I had to get her to put every egg in the bag I was holding so she would have her hands free to pick up more eggs. She just wanted to hold onto them all. Eventually it started sprinkling, so we diverted the next event to my aunts house. Saturday was my mom's birthday as well, so we had a BBQ! The day turned out so nice...rain included. My nephew kept Tony entertained with the outlook of a 10 year old that wants a sweet 16 party with his friend....yes it was entertaining and a bit frightening! After the party was over we went and saw my brother and sister in-laws new house. It was so cute! They decorated it simply (my favorite) and it made me want a new house for sure! I hadn't seen them in a while, so it was real nice to catch up!

Sunday was Bunny day! Tony of course had to work. Which gave my procrastinating self time to put his basket together. When he got home we all took a nap until it was time to get ready to go to dinner at the Steven's house. I wore my cute Easter dress that my sister sent me. (Last year we started this event that we hope to make a tradition. We both love dresses, so we decided to buy each other an Easter outfit. Well come to find out our styles are VERY different! So this year we decided to pick out 3 dresses that we liked and the other person would pick the final dress out. This way we would get something that we liked and it would still be a surprise! So this year was a better turn out. I can't wait for next year.) I did get Tony in a button up shirt! We even ended up matching..."ahhh cute" (my mother in law said) but she was right. Once we where ready Tony and I gave each other our Easter baskets. I did a theme this year...baseball! And he hid a camera in the bottom of my basket. I didn't even see it at first. He had to make a comment for me to look a bit deeper. So you know what this means....PICTURES again! We finally made it over to my in-laws. The kids had their egg hunt, why we celebrate Easter story from Grandpa, and yummy food! I ate so much ham and 'funeral potatoes' that my belly hurt! It was a really nice way to end such a good weekend and Easter!

LAS VEGAS

This weekend we went to Vegas and stayed with my sister. We were so excited to get out of the cold wet snowy weather! We left Thursday night after I got off of work. The drive down wasn't to bad. I think it went by faster then normal. Tony did how ever get pulled over! The cop said he clocked us at 90 and Tony had the cruise control set at 82. So Tony was fuming for the next hour or so. Thanks Mr. Officer!

I was so glad to see my family! My niece and nephew are getting so big! Samantha is walking and has the cutest smile. Joshua is getting taller and always has cute things to say. He was super scared of little Nilkah. He was convinced that she was going to bite him. She just wanted a friend, because their dog Thomas and Nilkah just weren't becoming good friends.

Friday, Tony and I had all day to play in the nice hot sun! How nice it was to actually be out of the rain or snow. We slept in til 10 (I had a ruff night, with Nilkah whining every two seconds, which is not normal and I had a migraine). We went to the grocery store to get some alcohol to make some yummy drinks! Then lunch at Buffalo....something. Now it was sunshine and pool time. I was in heaven. Nilkah wouldn't get into the pool though. I was hoping that Thomas would teach her how fetch was really played, but she had no interest. That night we went out with my sister and brother in-law. We went to the yummiest Mexican restaurant. Even when the waiter dumped salsa all over our table and it was directed towards me only stopping a few drops from my lap...it was a real fun time! Minus the loud obnoxious drunk lady next to us. We then went to a casino and gambled some money away. We were going to play bingo but my brother in-law had to work at four in the am. So we called it a night.

Saturday I played out in the sun with Joshua. He played in the "small pool" aka jacuzzi. He scared me jumping so far across. I was afraid that he was going to hit the other side of the concrete. But he was so excited to show me that he could hold his breath. Saturday night was also the night for Celine Dion in concert! I was so very excited about this...silly you may think, but she was awesome! She is very child like and beautiful! There was a guy behind us that decided that everyone paid to listen to him sing...how wrong he was! He was a little to smashed. We then had dinner at Ferraro's, and that was not so great. Guys in the bar area were cat calling to a couple women. Their men didn't even stand up for them. Some peoples children! The night weather was so nice, warm and clear. It was nice to get Tony away from work and just have fun. We definitely need to get away a bit more. Some time life just consumes you and at those times you just need a vacation!

We left early Sunday morning to get home for Tony's baseball game at two. The drive seemed a bit longer then the ride down. Nilkah was so good. I think she was worn out because she slept pretty much the hole way. Tony's team won their game as well! Well that was all for our weekend. I know that I have been horrible with posting pictures. Do to not really having a camera. But I do have some pictures for this trip so I will post them!

NEW LOOK...

Yesterday I went and had my hair cut two and a half inches and as for the color...I went light!
