Viva Elvis and The Great Camera Scare of 2011

This last weekend, Ryan and I decided that it would be fun to go and see a show on the strip. We have only been to a couple different shows since we have lived here and seeing that we are not sure how much longer we are going to be living here, we decided to take advantage of the local special for Viva Elvis.

The show was really good. It was about the life of Elvis from when he was a teenager to just before he died. They had real pictures and video's from his life and all of his songs in the show were of him singing them (not an impersonator or singer). It was a Cirque Du Soleil show, so there were a lot of acrobat performers. It was really entertaining and fun to learn more about "The King". Did you know that Elvis had a twin brother that was stillborn? Anyways,my favorite part was where they had all these different trampolines set up in different ways (flat, side, angle) and about 6 guys bouncing from each them. They did all sorts of crazy stunts.

Overall the show was really good!

So now that I told you about the show, let me tell you about what Ryan and I are now calling "The Great Camera Scare of 2011" that happened while we were at the show. :) When the show started, I took a picture of the cool stage set up that they did for the first song. A couple seconds later, an usher walked by our section and looked around with his flashlight. I noticed him, but didn't know why he was looking around. A couple songs later, I took another picture. This time 2 ushers came looking in our section. Once again, I was oblivious to what they were doing. It wasn't until the 3rd picture I took, when about 5 ushers came very quickly to our section, that Ry and I both realized they were there for me. We avoided eye contact and just kept watching the performance. They were all looking in my direction, but apparently they couldn't pinpoint exactly where the flash came from, so they left, but one of the users stayed close by and just glared at our section for the rest of the show. After a couple minutes, I slowly put my camera back in my purse and enjoyed the rest of the show. After the show I wanted to take a picture of me and the old guy usher who was glaring at us for the blog, but decided not to just incase he got smart and figured out that I was the camera ghost. You probably had to be there to be able to see just how funny the whole thing was, but Ry and and I got a good laugh about it on the drive home.

Cute cute cute...

While I was doing the dishes the other day, Miss Paisley came up to me to show me how pretty she looked with all her jewelry and purses. What made this fashion show different than all the others is that she included a new addition to here ensemble. She called this new addition a 'hat'. :)

Sun Babe!

I have a love/hate relationship with the summers in Vegas. I hate how ridiculously hot it gets, but I love being able to go swimming and layout by the pool with my cute little sun baby.

M-O-N-K-E-Y

This girl does/always/will/can climb ANYTHING her little heart desires. Even things that we didn't think were attainable for a little 2' girl. Now I know this doesn't look like it is very far from the ground, but its about 3' up. She just pulled and climbed her way up there and then was more than happy to pose for the camera and show off what she did all by herself. I don't think she knows that she is going to be a big sister soon and needs to start setting a good example. I can picture it now...her and the baby helping eachother to climb into the snack cupboard. :)

I Finally Graduated!!

11 years ago I started my college journey and after this last weekend I am so excited to say that I finally finished that journey!! I am officially a college graduate!! It was such a surreal feeling to be at that graduation (especially 8 and a half months pregnant...didn't plan that too well):). I honestly thought that day was never going to come, but it did, and it was so awesome!! Thanks so much to all of you who came and sat through that rather lengthy ceremony. :) They really could do away with like half of the speakers, but hey I already waited 11 years for this day, whats an extra 3 hours?? Anyways, I loved having my support group there. It meant the world to me to look up and see you all waving and cheering me on. :)

Cars, Stars and Guitars

For the last 16 years a car show called "Cars, Stars and Guitars" has been coming to Vegas, so Ryan and I decided to check it out. There were some really cool looking cars!!

4D Ultrasound of Baby Boy Mormann

My favorite is the 2nd picture because you can see his face, hand and foot all scrunched in there. Poor little guy! Good thing he is coming out next month!! :)

Slide!!!!!

Paisley loves, Loves, LOVES slides! She can point them out as we are driving. We will hear her say "SLIDE!!" and then sure enough we will look around and see that she is pointing to a school with a slide, a park with a slide, a waterpark with a slide, Mcdonald with a slide etc etc. So needless to say, we try and take her to a park at least twice a week so she can go play on the "SLIDE".

We finally bought her the red slide so that she could play on a "SLIDE" in between our park days. :)
