More Vegas Pics

I am sure ALL my readers could care less about these pics but since this is really a book for my family, I am going to post these:)


My favorite elevator! Such difficult choices to be made!


I spent two mornings in the gym! Crazy isn't it:)


We got dressed up for a Konica-Minolta event one night.


We ventured out of the Bellagio one evening and went to another hotel. We hit the jackpot at the sports bar...lots of tvs playing the Kansas v Baylor game and the Lakers game! Not sure who wanted to stay longer, Cory or me?!?!


Our dessert at the awards banquet the last night...YUMMO!



The drive at the Bellagio...gorgeous!



Again I had a great time! Thanks Cory, Grammie & Papa!

Bye-bye Tonsils

Carter had his tonsils taken out Monday, and of course I had to document the event!

Here he is pre-op waiting for the sleepy meds to kick in while he watched a batman movie on the iPad.


Post-op rocking with Daddy


Once we got back to the hotel this is all he did. Rested and watched movies. He tried to play video games but was a bit too shaky.


He slept a lot! He rested really well Monday night!


Tuesday morning he felt better so he and Cory played a few video games!


Thank you all who prayed for his surgery and his recovery! We appreciate them all!

Getaway

Cory insisted I tag along to his meetings this week in Vegas, and I am so glad I did.  Just today, I have rested so much I feel revived!  Every Momma needs a little time away...I am so thankfulf for the people that helped make this happen!  I am one blessed gal!~

This glittery horse is there to greet you when you enter the Bellagio

Again the GREAT view from our room!

The hotel is so elaborately decorated!

The conservatory garden area, full of Japanese flowers and blooms...looked awesome last night all lit up.

Cory in front of the gardens

During the day, it was equally impressive.

We missed the little children last night...they were entirely covered in blooms, reminded me of the Rose Bowl parade.

Around the corner from the spa was a great dessert place that boasts the world's largest chocolate fountain.

It is pretty cool!

So far it has been a great trip...now don't mind me, I am off to nap :)

Another fun week in January

This week seemed to start off crazy, as usual!  We had our annual reassessment with DHS and even though it went fine, it was stressful for me to get all that together that we needed, but the Lord again took care of it all and we have some really great respite people lined up! 

I also started a CRAZY journey this week in the area of fitness.  Not only am I starting to train for a half marathon, I am also doing Insanity videos with a group of friends 4 mornings a week. The first couple of days, I won't lie...thought I was going to DIE!  It is so mental for me and I am so lazy, just wanted to give up.  But I didn't and actually did the videos all 4 mornings and ran a total of 12 miles for the week!  WOW!

Here are the pictures from the week...

While at Walmart getting a few things, Cole demanded we get Becca flowers!  I love that he loves her and he thinks of her so often.  But I wanted some pretty flowers too!  So I convinced him we both deserved them!  Here is the flowers he picked.

After doing Insanity and running, by Friday my knee was hurting, so I had to go get a knee brace!  It worked great on my outside run Saturday.  I am not as young as I used to be!

My wonderful Daddy celebrated the big 6-0 this weekend!  I am so proud to call him Daddy!  We missed out on the party, but I heard he had a great time!

Then on Sunday, we flew to Las Vegas!  Cory surprised me with this trip!  He is here on business and I am just resting and getting a massage at the Spa!  I am so excited to be here.  He arranged Grammie to come stay with the boys and I am so thankful for her and for Cory doing this!  I have taken a few pics with my phone of the hotel, so I might do another post later.  But this is by far the best pic...the view from our room at the Bellagio!

Another great week!  If the year keeps going like this, it will be full of blessings:)

Warm in January

We have had several days in the second week of January that were really warm, so we of course headed outside!  What else do you do with 4 boys right!?!?! 

I tried to snap pics of my little men doing what they do best out there, but they were all moving too fast for this crazy Momma to keep up!  So I only got two that turned out!

They are so full of energy!  I always say I should bottle and sell it, but that is crazy I know!  God made them this way and I marvel at it daily!  I am so thankful for their boundless energy!

First Week of 2012

For this first week of 2012 we have had a few crazy moments! Papa had a small heart attack and was flown to Amarillo for treatment so Cory decided last minute to head there on New Year's Eve to see him. So we spent the evening driving (kids sleeping) and by the time we checked in the kids were ready to party the night away! My 5 guys ringing in the new year!


Cole got a new 'do for this new year:). He was a little proud don't you think?!


And Caden FINALLY lost the big one! This tooth has been loose for months literally:). He was really excited too!


This was a busy week! I am glad tomorrow is Friday!
