What Happens in Vegas....

Matt and I took a trip to Las Vegas a few weeks ago to celebrate our 10 year anniversary.  We went a few weeks before our actual anniversary so we could be back before the boys started school. 

We staid at the Palazzo, which is connected to the Venetian.

We ate dinner one night next to the canal, where they were giving gondola rides.  We we pretended we were in Venice, Italy.

We ate lunch at Trevi, in front of the "Trevi Fountain".  Pretending we were in Rome, Italy this day.  Enjoyed walking around The Forum.

You can also pretend you are in Paris!

In front of a waterfall in the Venetian.

An awesome Wine Cellar at a restaurant at Mandalay Bay.  This was on one of the Bachelor/Bachelorete shows.

We had to go to the Pawn Stars Pawn Shop for the boys.  Got Cal a t-shirt.

We went to Fremont Street to see "old Las Vegas"

LOVE these 2 signs!

 

We took our own picture before we went to the show "O" at the Bellagio.  After the show we had our anniversary dinner at Olives.  It was absolutely delicious!  The restaurant over looks the Bellagio Fountains.

Our last night we ate at a cool beer pub that basically has their beer menu in a Nook type book where Matt scrolled through by type, price, etc. 

 

We ate at In and Out Burger, saw all the big hotels, went to the pool and spa, rode the big roller coaster at New York, New York, and did a lot of walking.  We joked that we wanted to go somewhere as hot as Key West was 10 years ago.  Las Vegas in August was hot, but really not that bad.  It was a really fun trip.

 

Our real anniversary was Friday the 17th.  We had a nice quiet night at home.  Cal played with the neighbors until 7:30 and Brady did not get home from playing with a friend until 7:30, so we just cooked our favorite pizza and enjoyed a night on the patio.

Caramelized Onions and Goat Cheese

And here we are on our wedding day!

 

 

 

An Exciting Week

The boys started school last Wed.  They both woke up pleasant and ready to go!

Cal is excited enough for both of them.

Cal is using his backpack from last year.  Brady is sporting his new one.

Brady with Mrs. Handey.  He loves her already.  Started crying at bed one night last week about having to have other teachers-only wants her forever!

Cal with Mrs. Griffin.  She is new to Trinity and new to 2nd grade, but she is really cute and seems really fun :)

Cal is back with his best bud Will.  Yes, Cal is that much taller than all but 2 other boys in 2nd grade. 

And...............my baby who just started full day K5................decided to lose his first tooth this week also!  He would not let Matt pull it, although it was dangling out of his mouth it was so loose.  So this morning as he is eating his muffin, he looks at me and says, "I don't think I have a loose tooth anymore."  I take a look and sure enough, no tooth.  I run upstairs and look in his bed, but there is no tooth.  It appears he swallowed his first loose tooth.  Tooth fairy will still come tonight. 

He did ask if he needed an x-ray
