Vegas and other such things

The trip to Vegas was a lot of fun. Chilly fun. It was the coldest Thanks giving weekend Las Vegas has had since 1933!! And we were there to watch football outside.  Crazy.  Matthew's team the South Weber Knights played their heart out, but they couldn't quite cut the mustard.  It was a great learning experience and the boys had a lot of fun playing under the big lights on the big field. We had a great time with my family and we were able to see a lot of the kid friendly parts of Vegas.  Ryan and Matt played a video game 18wheeler driving game.  I'm not sure which one of them had more fun.   The girls window shopped at the Forum Shoppes of Ceasers Palace.   We went to M&M world and shopped our way through 4 floors of stuff.  The wall of M&M's with 22 different Flavors was a big hit. We also went to Coke world and had our picture taken with the Coke Polar Bear.

I Love seeing my family and wish we had more time together. We had a great time and have much to be thankful for. 

Last weekend Ryan and I and our friends Ross and Myra went to watch Motorcycle Ice Racing.  I know what your thinking...and yes.. it was insane.   a group of men and 2 women riders take their dirt bikes and 4 wheelers and decide to race each other on a short indoor track made out of ice.  It was cold inside and it smelled like exhaust, but Ryan and Ross had a great time. and i enjoyed watching.  What a rush. 

We went tromping around in the dirt and mud and found ourselves a Christmas tree.  I have made the executive decision that this is the last year for that. Its too darn cold to go trooping around the snow and mud to get a tree when you can buy one from a store that already has lights on it!  Oh well, we shall see what next year brings.  The tree isn't up in the house yet, it has to sit for a day or two according to my husband.  I'm a little concerned about the tree and how well it will fare with my very large puppy.

Speaking of Puppies....Harley had her 9 month check up a few weeks ago and after spending all day at the vet, she is healthy as a horse. And almost just as big.  She weighed in at 120 lbs!!  she stands about 30 inches tall at her front shoulders. She is doing wonderfully and is so much fun.  We love her very much and are so thrilled to be puppy parents.
