Vegas Baby!

Scot and I just got back from an ultra fabulous weekend in Vegas! We left on Saturday morning and came back just last night. We had such a great time...Here are a BOOTY load of pics from our trip...

At The Grand Canal Shops at the Venettian. The insides of the casinos are amazing! When we got there on Saturday we were STARVING so we began our trek from one end of the strip to the other and made a couple of stops along the way. Just in case you were wondering...The Strip is REALLY LONG!

This is just outside of the Venettian with T.I. in the background.

Eating pizza at New York New York for lunch. So yummy!

After a long afternoon on the strip we decided to go back to our hotel to swim at the pool and rejuvinate. So nice! Here we are in our hotel room getting ready to go out on the Strip again!

We ate at the Rainforest Cafe for dinner. Good Food, Good Atmosphere...

We were seated next to this really cool waterfall. You can't tell in this picture though...

After dinner we went to the M&M and Coca Cola stores. Wooo hoo!!

I look like I ate one too many M&M's in this picture...yummy.

Here we are with the New York New York in the background. Did you know that it costs $14 to ride that dang roller coaster?! Call me cheap...but Wow!

We went to the water show at the Bellagio that night. So pretty! The night scene in Vegas is... interesting. My only advice is DON'T LOOK DOWN!

With the Luxor in the background...sorry kinda crooked. This hotel is amazing! It's actually shaped that way inside!! Pretty neat! You feel like you are in a rocket ship or something and you can't tell if it's day or night in there.

A double chin...

Here we are at the Mandalay Bay. This is a beautiful hotel as well! Huge! They even have a beach!!

On the Monorail on the way to go see The Lion King at the Mandalay Bay. The Monorail was our lifesaver this weekend. After that first day of walking up the strip I knew I wouldn't make it all weekend unless we used this fabulous form of public transportation!

The Lion King was Amazing! The costumes and the backdrops were gorgeous! We had such a great time! I would highly recommend this show if you are ever in Vegas. The tickets were really reasonable too!

We also went to Maddame Tussauds which was so much fun! Maddame Tussauds is a wax museum full of wax figures of famous celebrities. The figures are the same height, size, hair color, etc. as the person. If the person has a tatoo the figure will have a tatoo, if they have a scar the figure will too. It's pretty amazing. It's hard to tell in these pictures but they look so real! It's so much fun!

Scot with Wolverine...
And Indiana Jones...
Here I am having an interview with Oprah...man that chick is nosy.
Julia Roberts was hitting on Scot. I had to lay the smack down on her...
With Bond, James Bond
The Rock...nice see through shirt baby! He was giving me the stink eye...scary.
Just hangin' with Cameron
Johnny Depp was just walkin' around in there...weirdo.
I decided to marry George Clooney. He was just lookin' all fine and I thought "Why not?"
Close up...isn't that dress flattering? I knew I had to have it when I saw it!
Scot golfing with the pros...
Shootin' hoops with Shaq
Standing on the sidelines with Michael
Timmy McGraw was there..."What's up?!"
Then I did a little singing for Ryan and Simon. They were totally loving it...Ryan was anyway...Simon was still trying to decide.
Chillin' with 2Pac yo...
Spiderman, Spiderman...
Cris Angel was floating around as usual...
Oh Marilyn...Stop elbowing me!
Scot decided to play a little poker with Ben. I think Ben might have been constipated though so he wasn't playing very well.
Playing some tunes with Blue Man Group.
Hey Nicky!
Stealing some chocolate batter from Lucy...what? I was hungry by that time...I don't think she was very happy about it...
Hanging on Barack! Jeezzzz...Scandalous!
Hey it's John Wayne! Scot was totally freaking out that he might have lice after putting on the hats in the last two pictures. Ha ha ha!
Here is a view from our hotel room. We stayed at the Hilton Grand Vacations Club. It was such a nice place! It's kind of on the not so great end of the strip so the location isn't the bomb but the hotel was fabulous, clean and quiet!
Taking a break outside the Forum Shops at Caesars!
Caesars!
The Strip...
And finally here we are heading to In-N-Out Burger and the airport. We had to stop at the Welcome sign before we left though! We loved being in Vegas! The weather was fabulous, 90 degrees the whole time! The atmosphere was fun, there was so much to do! We just had a really fun, relaxing time! Thanks Scot for a fun weekend! Happy Anniversary!! Love you!

YAY!

That's All...

(I really liked them both so I would have been happy either way :))

Honest Scrap Award Tag

Amber tagged me a LOOOONNGGG time ago. I am to list 7 things about me people might not know and have 7 other bloggers do the same. So here they are....

1. I have serious issues with paper towels. The texture of them really bothers me. When i think about the texture it makes me throw up in my mouth a little, kind of like when people run their nails down a chalkboard. If my hands are dry I won't even come near the things. Booo!


2. I LOVE going to used DVD/CD/Book stores. We have one called Entertainmart and I can never walk out of there without spending less than $50. The place is huge and I always start walking up and down each isle one by one but then all of a sudden a movie I have been looking for will pop in my head so I have rush over to that letter, then I go back to where I left off before until I think of another and then I have to rush over to that letter. It takes me a long time to get through that store. We only go about once every 3 or 4 months.

3. I am a serious homebody. I love to be at home and kind of going along with that I HEART pajamas. I would live in pajamas if I could. There is nothing better than coming home from a long day at work and putting on your favorite comfy PJ's. I can't start anything else once I get home until I have thrown on a good pair of sweats. I'm such a bum!

4. I love eating in bed. This might go along with #3 but oh well. That is really gross I know and I am really trying to be better about this especially with trying to get in shape. I haven't done it in a while...seriously. I haven't!...but WHEN I did I loved to have Oreos and Milk right before bed. Man this tag is kind of making me seem like a big, nasty, lazy, slob...

5. I am completely fascinated by celebrities! I think their lifestyle is interesting and I like to read about them and what they are doing. I love love to see what they wear to big red carpet events and see the gorgeous dresses that they have!

6. I DO NOT like to cook. I am really hoping that changes once I am not working and we start having kids. I hope to learn how to do it better and actually enjoy it. I think the real reason I don't like it is because I STINK at it!

7. I really want to learn to play the guitar and piano. I have taken piano lessons a few times so I know the basics but I would really like to take more lessons to become more fluent!

So there you have it. Now I am going to give this award to: Anyone who is feeling the need to...

Four Years...For Reals?

How can it possibly have been four year ago TODAY that my hubby and I were married? Man oh man the time has flown by! But you know what they say...Time flys when you're having fun! I feel so very lucky to have such a wonderful husband and I can't wait to spend the next 400 years with him!
We decided to meet up on our lunch break today at a little Chinese Restaurant near Scot's work. Yummo. But for our anniversary trip we are doing something soooo totally wicked awesome! We can hardly wait! We will be here:

...next weekend! Wooo hooo! Vegas Baby!

Happy Anniversary Scoty! I love you very very very very very mucho and can't wait to hit the slots with you and win us some moolah next weekend (just kidding everyone, don't get your panties in a wad)!

Now we are off to the Melting Pot...Yay! Our Favorite!

Grocery Bag Holder

So...I really wish I had taken a picture of the one we had before because it was the most HIDEOUS thing you have ever seen but I was so excited to throw it away that I didn't even think about it. A while back I was in desperate need of one of those plastic bag holder dealios and I was on a msision to find a cute one. Well that just wasn't possible...there were just none to be found. Finally one day while strolling through Wal Mart I did find one...a hideous one but I had found one. VICTORY! So I picked it up...it had a hole in the side of it but whatever...I found one. So I bought it and we used it for a good year and every time I opened the pantry door and saw that hideous eye sore I cringed. Depressing I tell you. It was made of this really scratchy burlapesque type material and it had random cats and pumpkins on it and the words "felines and friends" all over it. BARF! Anyway fast forward to a yearish later while blog surfing some of my favorite sites I found THIS really cute tutorial and decided to try it out on Friday night. It didn't take too much time and I was able to make it with some fabric that I already had :) and voila a MUCH better plastic bag holder that is way more pleasing to the eye. Try it out!

Erin Comes to Colorado!

A while back one of my best friends came to visit us for a quick weekend here in Colorado! Erin and I lived together during our freshman year. She's the best! We have such a great time when we are together. We love to laugh and do things that only we think is funny! Ha!

While she was here the weather unfortunately wasn't GREAT so we didn't get to do all of the things that we would have liked but we still had a great time together catching up!

One of the first things we did was go to Garden of the Gods OF COURSE. Everyone that comes to Colorado Springs has to go to Garden of the Gods. It is a beautiful place and is really neat to take people to.

We also took her indoor skydiving in Denver which was a blast too. Here we are in our gear afterward. HOTTIES!

On the last day she was here it was snowing like CRAZY, we wanted to take her up the Cog Railway to Pikes Peak but that just wasn't an option so we decided to go see "17 Again". It was such a cute movie! I highly recommend. It was really funny and lighthearted. Good stuff. Here we are with all our grub at the movies! Yummo!

Thanks for coming Erin! We had a great time having you here! EMAY ME!

My Very Own Edward Cullen...

OK ladies, don't be jealous but I have my very own Edward living me with, he sparkles and everything...

...It's pretty much awesome. The other night Scot, or should I say Scotward?...came home from a guys night, I was sitting at the kitchen table sewing (duh) and he came through the door very gracefully while holding his shirt open, his head was tilted down and his eyes were looking up at me (kind of like the above picture, creepy) and said "you need to see me for what I really am" and as he said it he thrust his bear chest out very dramatically at me.

I couldn't help it, I laughed until my eyes were watering and my stomach felt like someone had kicked me 4 times in the gut. Once I composed myself I promptly apologized to him. OBVIOUSLY I have made my sweet husband watch "Twilight" about 6 too many times. Man I'm a lucky girl!
