Bubba's Birthday

Bubba turned 2 today. We made him breakfast in bed with his favorite (Trix cereal). He watched Spongebob and took it all in like a rock star.

Photographers for the day

The girls enjoyed playing like they were the papparazi with their build-a-bear.

Circus Circus

The kids really enjoyed the circus acts. We asked them what they wanted to do the last day and this was their favorite.

Rainforest Cafe

We ate at the kids' favorite at the MGM. Bubba wasn't happy about sitting on top of the pay phone.

Bellagio butterfly garden

We stopped at the Bellagio to walk through the butterfly garden and watch the dancing fountains.

Chocolate factory and botanical garden

We took a tour of the Ethel M Chocolate factory in Henderson. After that we walked through the botanical cactus garden and saw some jackrabbits.

Feeding the Stingrays

The kids really enjoyed watching this.

Silverton Aquarium

We stopped by the Silverton to check out the salt water aquarium. The kids got to see them feed the stingrays and baby sharks.

And the winner is...

What is a trip to Vegas without stopping at the New York New York arcade.

Sweet Peach

The girls are off track so everyone came along to Vegas this week. Peach posed in front of the candy store.

Picnicing

Amy and Cutie decided to go hit some yard sales so we had a picnic. Quesadillas, bananas and string cheese.

Mr. Pizza Face Returns

Babe-O made another one of her famous pizza faces during our date. This time she put a frowny face on it. But her face had a smile on it.

Brave Little Babe-O

I owed Babe-O a date for her much improved classroom participation. She has been challenging herself to raise her hand and to get up in front of the class. She picked bowling, the arcade and, of course, Pizza Hut.

Bear Lake Paella

I made some "fishy" paella. I was craving crab legs and mussels. Peach thought it was funny, "Mommy, dad just bought legs and muscles!"

Bear Lake

We decided to head up to Bear Lake for the weekend. It is cold but we ventured outside for a bit.
