Wild Wild West

So we finally had the chance to go to Bonnie Springs. This little Western Town type thing over by Red Rock, which was surprisingly a blast! We've had a very hard time finding "Family Friendly" activities to do out here in Vegas, so this was definitely a diamond in the ruff. They had a train ride, petting zoo and on going shows during the day.
We all really enjoyed it, THANK GOD it was cloudy with a light breeze because we managed to stay there from 10:30-3:00. I definitely recommend you go when it first opens at 10:30. It's a fee of $20 per car and everything else there is pretty much free. Minus the food and drinks of course. They even had horse back riding...or Pony rides for the younger ones. $55 for an hour ride and $7.50 on the pony.

...we also got an idea of what to put in our backyard! hahahaha

My heart will go on...



We decided to check out the Titanic Artifact Exhibit at the Luxor a few weekends ago, and boy was it worth it! If you are ever in Vegas this next year, make time to see it. I am a huge fan of the movie, was a bit disappointed when I realized JACK and ROSE were only fictional characters though. :( Oh well...there were some really awesome parts in there, but i don't want to ruin it for anyone...just check it out.

Time and a half

What a productive week for me...

-57 hrs on the job
-cooked dinner 4 out of 7 days of the week.
-folded 20 freakin' loads of laundry
-cleaned my closet
-went to the titanic artifact exhibition
-brought the kids to the pool
-brunch w/my moms,brother, significant others and kids.
-stopped by hooters for my favorite buffalo shrimp
-sang karaoke
-baked
-grocery shopping
-washed the cars

This is the kind of week I hope to have all the time. Sometimes we tend to have some really lazy weeks/days...and just want to lay and do nothing. But I think that's okay too, because you get burnt out and need to recharge your batteries. Being on the go 24/7 with 4 kids, I really am super mom! Wait, super freakin' woman!! Yup.

It feels good to finally be unpacked from all of our trips. We are home again. Traveling so much from LV to the BAY...I think we need to just chill at home for a while.

...What to do for my birthday, have no clue. Damn, 27? Shit...haven't really done anything that major since my 25th. (I'm usually pregnant on my birthdays.lol) But I'm thinking I want to finally try out a mechanical bull and possibly some type of pool party. If I can even be seen in a bathing suit.

Which reminds me, I haven't seen my aunt in a while and the 1st thing she says is..."Have you gained weight?" Wow, I like honesty but straight out the gate? No hi or cheek to cheek first?

And people wonder why I can be so insecure, especially when it comes to my body.

...Over and out!

For this month only!

It's really nice having all the kids together. :) I love it! Family portraits? I hope we can get it done...greetings from VEGAS!

ALY's got TALENT

Happy, singing "once upon a dream" by emily osment. Aly is one of those kids that bops her head, taps her foot, shakes her behind when there's music on. She will wrestle you to the ground when she sees a microphone, drum sticks, or a guitar in your possession. Stage fright? What's that? She likes to be the center of attention all the time! She demands it...I don't know who she gets it from.

You're a B-R-A-T.

The picture speaks for itself. She didn't want to share the MAGIC of the MIC with anyone.
