Loving Vegas

Yes it's true we (Daniel and I) made another trip to Vegas this year. It was spur of the moment for no good reason, other then we wanted to have fun trip.
We were suppose to go with some friends of ours but in the last moment of planning they couldn't make it. So I guess that'll give us a good reason to go back soon.
This time we were able to spend almost the whole time with my little sister and her husband. It was nice to visit with them, because it's been 5 months since we've seen them last.
This time Daniel went and got his motorcylce endorsement so he could rent a V-Rod. I can't say that I was thrilled to have to ride on the back of the thing with him , but it made him happy so I did it. We had the bike for 8 hours so we decided to take a small trip to see the Hoover Dam. For me the ride was scary but I'm a worry wart any ways. It was a 2 hour drive and my butt felt every minute of it on the way back. OUCH! The Dam it self was pretty neat to see. We didn't do much touring because we had to have the bike back in such a short time but we did go on the bridge.
After the Hoover Dam we hung out with my sister and brother in law. I can honestly say this trip didn't include a large amount of alcohol. But our amount of sleep totalled 10 hours because we stayed up as long as we could. We did go to the Shark Reff in the Mandalay Bay and it was pretty neat. Sadly enough thats the only place I took pictures really. I didn't want to pack my big camera and my phone was usually stoyed away so I didn't have to carry so much while we were playing on the strip. It's Vegas the less you pack the less you have to worry about. Right?
It was a great trip and once the plane hit the ground here back home I immediatly wanted to go back because we came home to SNOW. Yes snow on the ground and we left vegas with 80 degree beautiful weather. I love spending time in Vegas but I think most of all  I love the weather.
Here are the only pictures I took the whole weekend long. Sad I know.
Daniel and his oh so hot helment. Apparently in Vegas you have to wear a helment or it's a 1200 dollar fine.

I'm pretty sure this fish didn't like it's picture taken cause it looked like it was glaring at me the whole time. I just thought it's teeth were weird. Don't know what kind he is either?

I loved the Sting Ray exhibit. We got to pet them it was neat. They are very interesting creatures to say the least


The lion fish was pretty awesome as well. I've never seen one before.


Jelly fish are pretty weird looking if you ask me. All that jelly and no brain STRANGE.

Halloween Fun

For Halloween this year Dustin was a  beat up Football player and Bradley was just a football player.
 So I insisted Tiny should be part of the dressing up fun and she got to be the FOOTBALL. Our Pumpkins this year were carved into Colt (Bradleys) pumpkin and Charger (Dustins) pumpkin.
 Tiny didn't enjoy trick or treating as much as the kids did because she got to sit in the truck for the majority of it. She tends to get too excited when people are around and she loves to jump on every one. It was safer for the other kids to have her stay in the truck with Daniel and I while we drove the kids around.
 This was before our Halloween School Carnival. My niece and nephew went with us. They were all too cute.


 This is Dustin in the truck while we were headed out trick or treating.
 Daniel was a party pooper and didn't dress up for Halloween. But he soon found out when we went to our party that dressing up is better then not because when every one else is you tend to stick out like a sore thumb. =>
 I did a simple dress up and put on some kitty ears. At least when I went to the party I kinda fit in. =>
 And of Course this is Bradley in the truck getting ready to trick or treat. I think he doesn't like our music in the truck so he brings his own. Ha ha.

Halloween this year was great. We went out like every one else on Saturday although we put candy out on both days. Then after trick or treating Daniel and I went to a Halloween party and had lots of fun.
Then on the actual day we celebrated my Moms birthday.
