What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas

i can honestly admit that I have nothing to hide about my last visit to sin city. my dad taught tate how to play craps so now he is all over throwin dice. he knows how to walk away a winner. unfortunately i am not a winner :(. tate is there working on a project called Hyatt Place. you can see what it will look like here. we ate yummy food shopped, and walked, and walked, and walked. we went to two shows "Mamma Mia" at Mandalay Bay, and "O" -Cirque du Soleil at the Bellagio. we also attended the the Bodies the Exhibition at the Tropicana. the entertainment was great and having time alone with tate was long awaited. my sister watched my kids and I am so lucky i have great family around to help me.

******i have many more pictures to share but blogger is having some technical difficulties so i will post those later.

Western Day

Hayden had Western Day at school. He was so excited to wear his new boots!

Seven Years Ago Today

Seven years ago Tate and I took the plunge and married one another. Tate was 27 and I was only 23! We dated for two years and then started the next chapter of our lives as a married couple.

Here is a recap on each year we've been married.....

One: colorado, first pregnancy, new friends

Two: new baby, wyoming and then back to colorado

Three: new parents, new jobs and learning to get through hard stuff

Four: back to utah, back to work, and back to my parents house

Five: work, hard work, and more work

Six: new house, new baby, and new goals

Seven: already looks good



Reasons why I will always love Tate:

• he's my rock, my confidant and best friend


• he's so manly, hot, sexy...you know beautiful


• he is the best daddy...our kids just love him


• he always makes me feel pretty


• he will work out of town for us


• the fact that he wants more kids


• he cooks for me


• he can fix anything


• he will dance with me


• we seem to grow even closer year after year

Happy Anniversary Tate!

First Day of Kindergarten

Hayden starts his first day of school today! He was so excited on his way to school he asked me if I was excited for his first day of school. I replied "Yes I think I might even cry I'm so excited!".

Unaccompanied Minor

Are you sitting down....ok so last Wednesday I put my five year old on a flight to Arizona all by himself! My child who has no fear was happy to leave me at the gate. When it was time for him to board his plane I started to panic inside and all that came out of my mouth was "Hayden I'll be right here." "ok mom" he said as he walked up the ramp with the other unaccompanied minor who was a girl a few years older than him. Tate wanted to take him to a Diamond Back Baseball game. Tate will drive home with him tomorrow and I am so excited to see both of them!
