VEGAS 2010....

So, not a typical Newton Vegas trip. Usually we ditch the kids and take off!! This time we decided for spring break to take them along, what a blast!!!!


They LOVED the lights on the strip!!

The main thing we wanted to do was to stay at Mandalay Bay and take them to the wave pool and lazy river. It was soooo fun! They were in the water non stop!! While it was cold back in Salt Lake, we were in 80 degree weather!!

Steve is THE BEST DAD!! He played with the kids non stop. Right when he'd get done in the wave pool with the older kids he was right over with Ryan playing in the little pool!

Ryan's favorite spot the whole trip was inside all the stacked up tubes!!

The GIRLS.....

And, THE BOYS...

Awesome picture in front of New York New York!! Just wish Steve were in it!!

Checking out the fountain show at Bellagio, it was so neat!!

Tram ride from Mandalay Bay to Excalibur. Can't count how many "You must be crazy having 5 kids" looks we had on this trip!! Steve would just give them an "Oh, I know buddy" look!!

In front of the castle!!

Having fun on the Harleys!! My biker chicks...

And cute biker dudes...

Oh my, should I be scared? YES. What a girl my Camy is!!

Takes after her big sister I guess!!

Another tram ride.... Always on the go in Vegas!!

Cute kids at the RIO catching beads!

Fun times at the M&M factory.... (to be honest, it was awful!! chasing 5 kids through a 4 story m&m store with loud music and a thousand people) But come on, it's the M&M factory, right?

Braden getting down in Vegas!! Woot Woot!

Brandon ready for the waves!!!!

Look at that babe! Can't believe that's my daugther laying out. Wanted to cover her up with a big towel and tell the boys to look away!!

Cute kids at the pool!

Ryan playing peek a boo!!

Had to get a shot in front of the hotel!! What a great place!

Sand butt!

I swear this was one of the only times I saw Braden the whole time at the pool! He was non-stop in that water! But when he stopped for food, he was OUT!

Love these girls so much. They had a great time in the wave pool!

Braden hangin' in the water...

Dad and the boys catching a wave...

Oh my gosh, Ryan laying out with Linden. How cute is that!!

What a babe!

Ryan making her silly face. She was so good on this trip!

Brandon is so great with RyRy. He always takes time to be with her...

What an awesome trip! We had a blast. Not sure how we're going to get away with just Steve and I going again in the future!!

40 YEARS OLD - SURPRISE CRUISE!!!!

So, my most wonderful husband surprised me with a party, all my family was there! It was so amazing.

I seriouslly was so surprised!!

The best surprise was that he took me on a cruise!!! It left out of Galveston, TX so we were able to fly in to Houston and spend time with his brother and dad before we left.....

Dancing and dinner with Mark and Rachel...

Lonnie and Missie got me a birthday cake and sang to me, so sweet!!

And off we go on our cruise!!! The first day was really windy, but who cares, we were in swimsuits in the sun and it was the middle of December!!

The ship was so pretty. We just loved it!!

Getting ready to head out for the night....

We met friends the first night at kareoke. It was so fun! Then off to dancing all night long!

In front of the ship, We love Carnival Ecstasy!!

Our first stop was Progresso. It wasn't the prettiest place, but we had a blast!!

Who's the hottie on the beach?

The shells were amazing, they were everywhere!!

So much fun!!

Our friends Anthony and April. They were so fun to hang with.

Time to get back on the ship....

Back to kareoke!! And fun times on the ship...

Our next stop was Cozumel, it was beutiful!! Loved seeing this big sign for Christmas!!

Fun at the beach...

Go Cozumel!!

We spent the day in Cozumel with another couple we met on the ship. Christy and I won the balloon toss and got a free tshirt!!

Go Utes!!

That Mexico sun is a lot hotter than Utah sun!!

Fun times with friends...

Steve and Anthony had the same watch, it was a joke we had the whole cruise....

WHAT A GREAT TIME!! THANK YOU HONEY FOR AN AMAZING TIME!! YOU'RE THE BEST!!
