Vegas Baby!

I spent my 21st birthday in Vegas (it was awesome) and I think everyone should get to spend their 21st birthday there.   Since Taylor was turning 21 this year, a Vegas vacation was planned for his birthday.  We had THE BEST time.    

 We did some major dancing...

 Drank some pretty drinks...

Ate some delicious food...

 Did some major walking...

Slept in every morning...

 Hit some clubs...

Did more walking...

 (this place is SOOO good.  It's called Serendipity 3 and it's just outside of Caesar's.)

And ate more delicious food.  

I got to see a couple of great friends I hadn't seen in awhile and enjoy a break from reality and party with 2 of my most favorite people in the whole world.  It was just a quick weekend trip, but it was so much fun!!!

Tocapello

When I decided to head up to Pocatello with the kids for the game I figured we would get a hotel and stay the night.  I made sure we got a place with an indoor pool as I know there isn't much to do in that small town.  Our hotel had an awesome pool and the kids and I had a great time swimming like crazy. 

Kylee was super excited about this trip and told her school teacher all about it.  When I came to pick Kylee up from school her teacher had told me Kylee told the whole class we were going to Tocapello and she wasn't sure where that was.  It made me chuckle.

That night we snuggled, watched movies, and ate ice cream. 

The next day we found a cute park to play at, went and saw "Wreck it Ralph" in the theater, and of course did more swimming. 

I LOVE time with my kids.  It does get a little frustrating and lonely being the only adult, but I wouldn't trade it.  My kids are getting old enough that they really aren't much work and are just so fun.  I cherish every moment I get with them, but especially moments away where we don't have to worry about chores and school work and just get to have fun and be silly and play together.  They are so entertaining and we made many memories I will cherish forever.  Even in a tiny little town like Tocapello! 

Big Sky Championship

The kids and I took a mini road trip up to Idaho State University to watch Weber State fight for the Big Sky Championship title in Women's Soccer.  It was pretty much the perfect weather for watching a soccer game and we had a ton of fun with our family that lives nearby that came to help us cheer on the Wildcats.  It was a good thing they came too, because ISU had a TON of fans.

Kylee took this picture of herself with my camera.  It cracks me up.

 

He sees Brecken.  He loves watching her and cheers for her the whole game, when he's not running up and down the stairs or sliding down the rail.  (UGH!)

 

We had ISU beat...1-0, when with just minutes left they scored on a rebound and tied it up.  It was so sad.  

Then after 2 overtimes, we went to a shoot out.  It made me miss hockey so much.  I am thankful for something to cheer for though. 

Brecken fueling up for her penalty kick shot in the shoot out.

I feel bad for goalies in shoot outs.  What a tough spot to be in. 

Brecken vs. the Goalie.  Brecken WON.  :) 

Sadly, our Goalie let all 5 goals in and one of our players hit the post, so ISU won the shoot out and the game.  It was heartbreaking, but so fun to watch.  What an exciting season and considering the fact that 95% of WSU's players are freshmen, I have no doubt that they will just get better and better.
