Vegas 09, 2nd Anniversary

Our 2nd Anniversary was March 17th and we were planning on going down to AZ for spring break so we made a few day stay at the LOVELY Four Seasons on our way down. First I just have to say that I will never stay at another hotel in Vegas as long as I'm alive. The Four Seasons is to die for. There is no casino, and no smoking. Every night they came in and dimmed the lights, layed out slippers by our bedside, took down our covers, and put the TV on to waterfalls and music. It was heavenly! We were lucky enough to have Dale come with us, or better yet, he was lucky enough that we let him come with us! We were his ride home back to AZ so he got to enjoy our Anniversary with us! We spent most of the time by the pool, where they bring you orange slices, fruit smoothies, and evian your face. It was wonderful... And to my wonderful hubby, I love you and thank you for all you do for "our family". (Inside joke).

When we arrived these flowers and other treats were in our room waiting for me.. thanks babe!

Dale had a roll away right by the window!

Lilly absolutely LOVED this crib! Go figure, the simplest things... and all the money I spent to make hers at home just perfect!

They gave her a gift basket in her crib and this bear was in it!

My strawberry-banana smoothie.. it was truly to die for..

Ty Pennington from "Home Edition" was staying at our hotel as well. Josh treated him like an old pal and said "Hey Ty! Will you take a picture with my daughter?" I was too embarassed so I watched from afar...

We ordered fruit one morning.. most expensive fruit I ever ate.

Some day this girl is gonna love sun glasses!

My bro Dale came up for a few days to visit us and go snowboarding! We had a lot of fun, and Lilly found her new favorite pal! Thanks for spending time with us Dale and for helping me out with everything.. your the best pal ever! We love you!

Seattle 2009

We were invited by a couple friends to take a trip to Seattle. We had never been before and have always wanted to go, so we decided to go! It was such a fun trip and we were able to see everything we wanted to. We stayed in a little port town called Port Townsend, about and hour and a half outside of Seattle, to which direction I have no clue. It was awesome! We went into the city several times, along with visiting the famous town of FORKS, and many of the portal towns along the coast. We took the ferry across to Bainbridge Island. It was sunny a good portion of the time which was a suprise! We didn't even bust out our umbrella once... we just chose to get wet!! We had so much fun, and it was great to go somewhere we had never been before. My favorite night was when we ate at the resturant at the Space Needle. It is very pricey but totally worth the experience atleast once. Seattle is a beautiful city, and if it wasn't so darn rainy I could see myself living there. But for now, I have decided I am a sunshine girl! Thanks to Amy and Mace for the wonderful time!
