Girl's Weekend in Vegas!!!

My best friend (we have known each other for 29 years!!!!!!!) and her family always go to Vegas once a year. Since she is not a big gambler (but her family is), she asked if I would come out and hang with her for the weekend. We decided to make it a girl's weekend and I brought Sarah, too, and left Ben with Tyson for the weekend (my first time away from Ben overnight...I slept sooooo good! HA, HA!). We had lots of fun, ate LOTS of food, talked A LOT, stayed up late. It was GREAT!

Our first stop was the Bellagio, where Dorie's parents were staying. They had a gorgeous fall scene set up.

Mommy and Sarah in front of the tree that talked and moved!

Sarah in front of the world's largest chocolate fountain.
She just wanted to put her finger in it so bad!

Dorie, Sarah, and I stayed at the Mandalay Bay.
On Saturday morning, we went out to the pool to look at it. The high was only in the 60s, so we decided not to swim.

Sarah couldn't resist sticking her feet in the wave pool!

Then, she decided that it wasn't THAT cold and she did indeed want to swim. Mommy and Dorie were too chicken to get in, but Sarah had an AWESOME time in the waves!

Girl's Night Out on Saturday night! Don't we all look stylin'?

The boy in the box

How could I resist taking these pictures??? He is so darn cute! He had so much fun playing with this box (of course!)! I LOVE the first picture when you can only see his eyes through the box hole!

3 Little Pumpkins!

Our friend Jayden came over wearing his pumpkin shirt that we made for him, so we decided to all wear them today! Don't they look cute????

Ben being silly!!!!

Sarah being sweet!!!!

Dance, Mr. Lingenfelter, Dance!!

Krista, a first grade teacher at Tyson's school (and our good friend!), emailed me this picture of Tyson having too much fun at her 1st grade dance party about a week ago! :)

More Soccer......

Today was the perfect soccer day. It was cloudy and cool and a little bit drizzly! What a great game, too! Sarah just keeps getting better and better! It's so fun to watch her play! Ben is very intrigued by the game, as well, and keeps running on to the field like he is one of them! Keeps mommy busy during the games!

Ben hanging out before the game starts.

Sarah got to be goalie today! She loved it!

Pizza Party! YAY! Ben loved the horse!

Sarah loved the horse, too! She had her own way of riding it, though! :)

Sarah's best friend, Tilicia.

The family!

Apples!

We picked our first apple of the season today! This big Red Rome apple has been driving Ben crazy for the last couple of weeks. It hung at his eye level and he wanted to pick it SO bad! He was very happy to pick it and eat it today! We kept telling him that it was an apple and he said "apple" very clearly three times!!! We have lots more on this tree and lots on our Fuji tree, too! Yum, that means I get to make apple pie!
