Las Vegas

This weekend Jess and I went to Las Vegas so I could play in a soccer tournament. The weather was so nice. It was 90 degrees all weekend. Our team did a good job and it was great to finally be playing outside.

Jess and I stayed at the Golden Nugget this time. We usually stay at the Excalibur or somewhere right on the strip but this was nice for a change. The hotel had just been remodeled and the pool are was amazing. It was called "The Tank" because there was a huge fish tank in the middle of the pool with a variety of fish and some sharks. There was also a water slide that went right down the middle of the fish tank. When I went down the slide I tried to go slow so I could see all the fish.
This is a picture of "the Tank" The tube running through the middle is the slide. You could also swim right up to the tank.

While we were in Vegas we ate at a restaurant called the Grotto. It was the best Italian food I have ever eaten. The pizza was amazing and I wish I could make the meat sauce that was on my pasta.

April is over already

I can't believe April is almost over. This month has gone by so fast. It is has been a while since I have posted anything on my blog so here is what we have been up to. We had a great Easter. The Easter bunny came as spoiled us both. That afternoon we went to my Grandam's Easter party. We had a lot of fun eating, playing kickball, and just hanging out.

Me and my Easter basket. This is the same basket that Jess used when he proposed to me 4 years ago.

For my birthday Jess and my family spoiled me. Jess even got up early and decorated the house with streamers and banners. He is such a great husband!

Jess made me this giant cupcake for my birthday. I have never had a cupcake so big. It was swirrl (chocolate and white) cupcake. He did such a good job!

Over spring break we went to the St. Anthony sand dunes in Idaho. We went up with our friends on Friday night and we came home on Saturday. I wasn't originally planning on going but at the last minute I decided to go. When we got up there on Friday the wind was blowing and it was kind of cold. As the night went on it got colder and colder. When it was finally time for bed, I was freezing. The wind was blowing and the fire was not keeping me warm at all. Jess decided earlier that we should just sleep in our Mountain Air trailer (which is what we hauled the 4-wheeler up in). Let me just say that the trailer was not warm at all. It is a small tin box that has NO heat. We had an air mattress to sleep on and like 6 blankets on top of us plus we were both inside our own mummy sleeping bags with our heads covered because it was so cold. If I hadn't been to cold to move I would have gotten up and driven to a hotel but I was seriously to cold to move. When morning finally came ( we slept for maybe 2 hours total) I reached for the bananas I had brought for breakfast and the were completely frozen. I snapped it in half when I hit it against the wall. I also had a bottled water behind me and it was frozen solid.
On Saturday we got up and headed out on the dunes to go riding. Jess had given me carhart overalls for Christmas and I have to say that I was very glad I had them on this trip. They kept me warm while we were riding. They are not very flattering but they were warm. Saturday was a lot of fun. The weather was not to bad and we had fun riding and hanging out with friends.

3rd Row Baby!

Earlier today my Aunt Jackie called and asked if we wanted tickets to the Jazz game tonight. Of course we said yes and they ended up being on the 3rd row! Neither one of us have ever sat that close before. We were right behind the basket closest to the Jazz bench. It was a great game. Jess and I were even on the Jumbo Tron a few time. One time I was on there by myself dancing. ( I was trying to win free food from Costa Vita) It is so much different when you are that close. All of the players look so big.
When we were leaving we went down onto the floor and out the tunnels. On the way out we passed Jerry Sloan. He was walking right in front of us. I took a lot of pictures so be prepared!

These next pictures are just some of the I took of the players during the game. They were just so close so I had to try and get some good ones.



We are standing on the court during halftime.

More pictures!



These were our seats, only two rows in front of us! It's crazy! I still can't believe we were that close!






Thanks again Aunt Jackie! We had a great time!
