Las Vegas! Cha-ching!

At the end of July, Jimmy and I ventured to Las Vegas with Suzi and Mammie for a relaxing and sin-free weekend of gambling and seeing a couple cool shows - Cirque de Soleil (KA) and the Tournament of the Kings (at Excalibur Hotel). A good time was had by all! None of us walked away significantly richer, however, Jimmy did win $50 at one point. I believe we walked away without being in the "hole." Here are some highlights!
The four of us at "Tournament of the Kings."

A couple of cuties in the casino!


Gamblin' pals! AKA slot machine addicts!

Here was our lovely home, The Bellagio! What a great hotel. Highly recommend if you plan on visiting Las Vegas.

I'd like to tell the other stories, but remember.....WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS, STAYS IN VEGAS!!!!

In the midst of summer...

Well it's hard to believe today is July 30th. I must admit, I'm having one of the best summers of my life! Jimmy and I are spending a lot of time with family and just returned from a trip to Las Vegas. Before we get to that, there are a few people I would like to acknowledge. First of all, World's Best Parents:

Here is my Mom with her Mother's Day din-din of shish kabobs!

And here is my dad on Father's Day with his choice of a picnic lunch!
Also, I feel it's necessary to post a picture of the cake from DQ. It's not too often you'll find such skill and creativity on a store-bought cake.
I love you, parents. If you're reading this!

May also brought the birthday of World's Best Mammie!
Everyone gathered at Mammie's house to celebrate. A good time!

At the end of June, Jimmy and I traveled to Delaware to attend the wedding of my friend, Erin, from grad school. What a fabulous couple. Here is a pic of Jimmy and I before the ceremony and reception.









This summer has been filled with random visits between Sara and I to one another's houses. This happens to be one of my favorite pics of Sophia - playing dress-up in Aunt Jesse's clothes!






And last, but not least, (believe me, this bird is a big deal around here!), Minute has started taking baths! Hopefully this continues.
