Hey Baby Lets Go To Vegas

I have been pretty bad at posting events in my life. Main reason being I didn't have a camera for several months because my mom dropped it. No worries though, got a new one.

For May long weekend I wanted to get out of Rexburg and as irony would have it so did Brittany - want to get out of Provo. Well where the heck would we go if we didn't go to each others home? answer: LAS VEGAS. This was very simple it would just be the two of us going. We are pretty down to earth girls and all we wanted was a place to sleep with a pool. So Brittany found a hotel that wasn't bad - it smelt of smoke and the beds were kinda hard - but it had a pool. We spent everyday doing stuff on the strip so it was really just a place to sleep, plus it had breakfast for us...BONUS! We arrived to Vegas at about 4pm on a friday and soaked up some sun for about an hour then got dressed and hit the strip. We parked at the mall and right behind it was The Wynn hotel. I don't know why but I was just mesmerized by it. I love that hotel, and I have never been in it. We continued to walk south and a restaurant came into view. We walked to serendipity where I thought I was going to die because I love the movie for one, and I didn't know they had one in Vegas - to go to this place and eat a frozen hot chocolate was on my bucket list. It was soo delicious. We continued walking down the strip looking at Vegas and just soaking it all in.

Me in front of the Wynn.

Brittany a babe in front of the Bellagio Where we also watched the famous fountain show, it was great.

While in Vegas you need to see at least one show, we opted for Cirque Du Soliel's performance of "O". It was a water show and truly amazing. The dives and flips these people do are truly amazing, wait I've already said that, but no other words to describe it. I loved every minute of it!

Me and the BlueManGroup. Yes they are fake, my parents actually went to the show a week later and really enjoyed it. This statue of them was from the wax museum there which I really wanted to go to, but Brittany didn't so we crossed that off the list early on.

In fRont of SerenDipity!!!!! We asked a bystander to take the picture, but were hesitant cause we only had Brittany's nice camera. You can never be too careful in Vegas but this man loosed trustworthy.

Us enjoying the famous FROZEN HOT CHOCOLATE! The girl who seated us was actually LDS, just a cool tidbit to find on the strip. The hot chocolate was sooooooo goood!!! we were seated outside right in front of The Flamingo where Donny and Marie's faces were plastered (Mom LOVES them) it was really nice just watching the hustle and bustle while you enjoyed a treat.

While crossing over to the Bellagio before "O" we spotted the wax museum with Indiana Jones and Whoopi Goldberg outside!

So we dared to enter the Bellagio Buffet. We went in at 1:30 pm which was cheaper than the dinner, but because we went in at this time we still got the brunch buffet as well as the dinner buffet. We ate for about two hours straight. I literally thought I was going to die. I am not even joking. You just had to try everything, and some things twice. I will never eat to that feeling again. I was like Brittany I think I am going to throw up, we need to sit down. So we decided to walk to the huge M&M store which was a mistake because the smell of chocolate was overwhelming and I thought for sure I would pass out. Walking in the heat with that much food, my organs working so hard to digest was not a good mix. I needed a palce to sit down and quick. So we moved to the MGM grand lobby where we stayed for about an hour while my stomach calmed down. The food was to die for. But maybe not die, cause it didn't not feel good. I believe this is plate number one.

Me happy with plate number one of three.

Plate number three was all dessert. Yes ALL dessert. I just had to do it. Live it up while your young. The plate included two creme brulees, yoghurt with actual gold leaf on it, small chocolate fudge cones....it just goes on.

This is me at the very end. Hating to eat the second creme brulee, in pain, feeling nautious, but I did it. Really hating my decision to eat "all you can eat"

That is the end. My trip to Vegas was a great success. We ate, we played, we gambled...well Brittany did cause I am not yet 21 haha. She really only put a quarter in the slots and had no idea what she was doing so we clearly lost at what we had tried to do. That would have been hilarious if we won something. Perhaps another trip, another time. If any of you have not yet been to Vegas which I am sure the percentage is only about 1% cause everyone goes to Vegas. Well in short....GO!!! You will love it. I love the heat, I love the atmosphere strangely enough.

Brittany and Bobby Get Married.

So last week I was able to be in the blessed event of Brittany and Bobby's wedding. We started the party off in Canada of course at our old home in Calgary. We stayed with our long time friends the Stephen's and had a blast there! They are such a great family we have been friends with them for about 20 years it is crazy. On Friday they had their reception at our old community center. I don't have any pictures from it because I didn't have my camera then so I will have to sneak some from my moms camera. The reception looked very nice! The food was great, and we had a lot of fun dancing afterwards! I love when old family and friends gather for an event like this. Anyway the next day we drove down to Utah because the actual matrimony would be taking place on tuesday which is what you see pictures below! It was a busy few days, I am happy that it took place, but am also happy that it is over.
Here is the beautiful bride!! Isn't she just glowing?!!

These are the Shane children. Lovely family. They are so fun to be around! Such colourful personalities and I mean that in the best way!!

These two boys are so cute. The one of the left is Danny (Bobby's brother's son), and the one on the right is Braddick (Bobby's sisters son).

Mom and Dads crew in Calgary minus some very important families.

The BRIDESMAIDS! - have you seen that movie? If not...well it's freaking hilarious. We missed Amanda here!!!

Bridesmaids and the Bride. I love this photo of us sisters.

The WEDDING PARTAYYYYYYY!!!

Bridesmaids and the BRIDE again. Thankfully she is light as a feather.

My brother Cole and Renee! So in love.

THE HAPPY COUPLE - YAYY!!!!!!

All in all the wedding went off with a bang. It was so great. Tears of joy - of course non on my part I don't weep, but serioulsy I dont. It was cute to see the parents cry, as a kid it's a rare emotion because we think are parents are legit superheroes and don't ever cry, but they do! Such prescious moments. I wish I could've been in the temple with them when they were sealed, I heard it was a great ceremony. With that being said. I congratulate Brittany on a job well done. Bobby is a great sir. Welcome to the family Bobby I look forward to learning more about you. Hopefully its not more surprising than the stuff I already know!! You TWO are awesome.
