Viva Las Vegas!

So Ty and I got the opportunity to go down to Vegas for the weekend! We did A LOT and it seems like it went by too fast!

We left Friday AM and took our time getting down there. Dylan did great and we all took naps!When we got down there we said Hi to everyone and then went to our hotel to check in. We stayed at the MGM Grand and OH MY GOODNESS - I loved it. The bed was sooooo soft, and we had a HUGE bathroom! I would recommend it to anyone. Right after we got there - we had dinner and then checked out the lion habitat!

The lions were just laying around - but I got this pic of their paws! Big kitty cats! The 2nd day they had the male lion there with his big mane of hair - and I didn't have my camera so no pic of that!

FRIDAY NIGHT - we got to go to Kenny Chesney! YEAH!

We had nice seats - and because of the airlines being late - our babysitter was late and we didn't get to see LeAnn Rimes! BUT we did see Kenny so it was ok!Yeah for me!And here is the hot little body - Kenny himself!

We ended up getting in at 2am and dieing! But Dylan was up at 6AM the next morning!

SATURDAY - We had tons to do and no time to do it in. We had breakfast over at the Luxor - walked around a little - then headed back to our hotel. Got ready and then over to my sister's rental. Everything was going smooth - till the Limo didn't show up and all of us had to jump in what ever car was available and speed down to the chapel! They got married click here for pic's......look for Ty he looks SO FUNNY! ;)

After the ceremony they had a little get together - and then we had to run to our dinner we had planned! We went to the Tournament of Kings! It was a lot of fun eating with our hands, yelling, and watching people get knocked off their horses!

Dylan was really getting into it all!

Traveling with kids is so different! After the dinner was over it was time for Dylan to go to bed - so Ty and I just stayed up and watched movies all night!

SUNDAY AM - Leaving Las Vegas!

We got our pictures!And then headed over to the Hoover Dam! Ty and I hadn't been there before and wanted to see what it was all about! It was so fun!This was our Dam Tour Guide! Hey he said it! Dylan wasn't as excited as we were but he did have fun! If you can't see - Ty is in Nevada, Ryan is in Arizona and Dylan is stuck in the middle!

After this we headed home! It was fun while it lasted but it is nice to be back!

Things That Make Me Smile!

So I thought I would post a couple of things that made me smile. On Ty and I's way home from Lake Powell we stopped to get some grub in a small town (I don't even remember the name) ANY WHO - I get my drink look at the cup.......New for 2005???? Needless to say I don't think they get much traffic through this place! The cup was 3 YEARS old! Crazy huh! Made me smile! Then today I went and picked up my Kenny Chesney Tickets! My friend Chelsea knew someone who had extra's - AND Ty and I are going to be down in Las Vegas for my sister's wedding - AND staying at the same hotel he is playing at - SO when she called and offered them to me....I couldn't say No! ALSO Leann Rimes is opening for him! I Can't Wait! This REALLY makes me happy!

The Stairs

Fun in the Sun

So this weekend we had the opportunity to go down to Lake Powell! Once a year Ty's boss takes down the crew to his House Boat and pays for everything!!! Pretty sweet - the only thing we really had to worry about was snacks and addmission to the park ($15)! How could we say No!? This was the house boat - 75 feet long, 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 3 stories high! It was pretty much amazing! And even though there was close to 30 people - you really couldn't tell!
Dylan didn't really like the water at all! It took him awhile to get use to it - and then he loved it!
Dylan beating me up! :)
Dylan and Daddy chillin on the boat! They took us out wake boarding, surfing, jet skiing, and tubing!

This is the view that we had from our bedroom window! I wouldn't mind wakeing up to that every morning! :)Dylan driving his new car! This was so nice to have - he LOVED it!The red rock was beautiful!
And the company was great! This was everyone on the boat when we went wakeboarding! Ty's boss's wife is the one on the back getting ready to go into the water! She is a mother of 6 and showed up all of us on the wakeboard! ANY WHO - we are home to nurse Ty and I's sunburns and get back to reality - for at least a little! Hope everyone else had a great weekend!

Kirsten & Dusty

This is my bestest friend Kirsten and her soon to be Hubby Dusty! They came down from Idaho to have me take their pic's! We had tons of fun and decided that next time they come down they have to stay longer!



While we were out at the lake Dusty was having a hard time focusing on the photo shoot with ducks around! So Kirsten and I goofed off!

She was a model in another life! ;) Mark you calendar's for Aug 1st when they say I DO!

CONGRATS!

She's was a little late but worth the wait!

My good friend Megan had her baby! Introducing Victoria (Tori) Jackson - born May 22, 2008 in Orem, UT - Weighing in at 7lbs 1 oz and 19 inches long! She has brown hair and sleeps like a champ! ;)

We took Dylan to meet his new friend...but he didn't seem too impressed - he was more concerned about the brownie's and the nurses walking in and out! Mother and Baby are doing great! It's hard to beleive that Dylan was once that small.....and quiet!

Mother's Day

My first offical Mother's Day as a Mom! It was fun! Really relaxing! Ty let me sleep in....but then he got called to go on a flood so I got up and hung out with my baby boy! It was a really nice day so I took him over to BYU campus and they have a little duck park - so we fed the ducks!Dylan didn't know what to really think about them!This Aflak-look-a-like chased us a little to get the bread that he wanted!This is Dylan trying to figure out why his feet don't look like the ducks feet!Ty also got me 2 dozen roses! (sigh)
And lastly - I got bangs! Ty took me and got my hair washed, cut, and eyebrows waxed! :) I also took Dylan and Timber in the back yard and just relaxed and played around! I think I like Mother's Day! ;)

Finding the Photographer in Me!

So I've always liked taking pretty pictures. And a little while ago - Ty told me...."Adalynn - if you like taking pic's - do it!" So that is what I have started doing. Here are a few! Tell me what you think.....honestly!

These are Christina's Bridal's I did today!

These are just a few - there were so many it was so hard to pic just 1!

These next ones are of Dylan for his 1 year Birthday coming up in about a month!

And lastly - I experimented on Timber! For his portfolio!

1st Baseball Game

Last night we took Dylan to his first Baseball game! He did really good up until the 7th inning stretch - and then the fort broke! We didn't bring a bottle OR a blanket - so we had to leave a little early! But it was still fun to get out and enjoy some baseball! Our little family by the dugout!
This is Dylan with Ty's mit and hat ready to catch a foul ball if it came our way!

My sister that we went with - entered a contest! She got a dinner for her family from KFC for winning! Whoa! :)

And this is Dylan playing with her winnings! We will deffinately go again - and next time we will come a little more prepared to stay the whole time!

Check It Out!

So - I can offically say I know someone famous......kind of! My friend/ex-co-worker is amazing and lost a lot of weight - and got a deal with 24 Hour Fitness! Her commercial is airing tonight sometime during House! Go to this link www.24hourfitness.com to check out her story! She is the girl in the pic that pops up first!

She was there beside me when I was prego - chanting with me that I wasn't getting fat, I was growing a baby! AND she introduced me to spin class! Any who - I'm way proud of her!

This is her on Halloween! We had WAY too much fun working together!

New Me-h-i-co

This last weekend Ty and I ventured down to the far away land of New Mexico! Why you might ask - well Ty's brother Phil and sister-in-law Sarah live there. We were originally going to camp in Moab for the weekend - BUT the weather was not in our favor - and with 2 babies it would not have been fun at all for the mommies!

But we did stop in Moab......for gas! We always go to the Mavrick on Main St. and they have this really cool painting on the building next to it. There were SO many Jeeps! Made us just a little jealous!

But once we got to New Mexico it was all fun! Cousins got to play together and the adults got to gab and have fun! Ty went golfing and shooting with his brother! I went shopping! We went to have yummy Mexican Food! It was just so fun to relax and enjoy good company!

Dylan and Ivie took their baths together! It's becoming almost tradition!This was them the last time they took a bath together! It's been a while! So it was tons of fun!We also played tons of RockBand! It was really fun and addicting! We stayed up late each night rocking out to Bon Jovi!

We were glad to get home - sad to get back to reality! But we are deffinately going to get together again!

Sippy Cup

After just a couple of days......he's in love with his sippy cup! YEAH! I've had a goal to have Dylan totally off the bottle by 1 year! And I think it's going to happen! AND he looks so dang cute with his chubby hands holding his cup!
This is his excitment! Probably because mommy was excited and making funny noises!
But this joy was hard earned and still a little tricky at times!
Dylan trying to be a boy and try his 1 arm sippy cup tilt! *not quite there yet*

I can't belive how fast he is growing up! He is 10 months old now so I probably should get use to the fact that he sure isn't degressing! I'm excited to see whats next!

AND if you have read my beagle's blog - you will know he had another girlfriend - Kiara! We are now offically, actively looking for a female beagle to be Timber's life long leading lady! I've enjoyed thus far the process of breeding beagle's that we are starting, unoffically our own Beagle Kennel! Updates to come!

ALSO this weekend Ty and I are headed down to New Mexico to see his brother and sister-in-law - AND our little neice that we haven't seen since her blessing that is turning 1! Time goes by WAY to fast!

Dierks Bentley

For anyone who knows Ty and I you HAVE to know that we LOVE country music AND we LOVE Dierks Bentley! It all started by accident when we went to his concert (because it was free) at the fair - 2 1/2 years ago. Then he came with Kenny about 1 1/2 years ago. <- Click the link to see what I mean! Speaking of Kenny - that is another great concert and the only reason I missed his last one in SLC was because I was giving birth! So here is the stage last night! We were about 8 rows from the stage! BUT he had a GA pit that I didn't know about - so next time I'm double checking the seating chart!
His opening act was Bucky Covington. I think he was on American Idol or something! Anywho - didn't really know any of his songs - BUT he had really pretty hair....and I swore he was wearing make up. WHICH explains the mustache - so people don't mistake him for a girl! ;) He really does have a great voice!
And then there was Dierks.....sigh! ;) He sang all but 1 of the songs that I wanted him to! AND the only other thing I was disappointed with......he didn't pick me to go up on stage and sing with him ;) JUST KIDDING!
SO I highly recomend the concert! If you ever see that he is coming to town - his tickets are reasonably priced and you will have a great time! .....Like Ty and I did!
