Just a Little Get Away

Some fun events have occurred the past couple months. Jett and I took our first little vaca together (without kids) in December. We went to Viva Las Vegas for four days. It was a fun little get-a-way and I forgot my camera (BOO!). Which I'm sure Jett was estatic about seeings he detests getting his picture taken. Neither one of us has been to Vegas for about 10 years so it was fun to explore and see how things have changed. We had so much fun that we're taking the kids in February. Woot Woot!

We then went last weekend to Salt Lake City to watch LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers) play the Jazz. It was such an amazing game and incredibly entertaining. Jazz won at the buzzer with a rookie hitting a three pointer. It was so crazy! It was fun to watch Lebron and Shack play. Shack is a BEAST! His feet were like double the rest of the players. It was craziness. It was awesome to watch LeBron work his magic on the court. Unbelievable!!!

The game was on Thursday and we came home on Sunday. We left the kiddos home on this trip as well. I wonder if they are feeling left out at all? I think Lexie is. But she had fun being babysat by Grandma and Grandpa Simpson then Gramps and Sparky one night. Friday and Saturday Jett and I did some shopping and had fun figuring out the trans system in Salt Lake. We ate at several different restaurants. Macaroni Grill, Olive Garden, and The Melting Pot to name a few. The Melting Pot was our favorite. We liked it so much we ate there both nights! It was soooooo good! I've been craving it ever since.



I swiped Lexie's camera to take to the game so I didn't have to carry my big, bulky one so the pics didn't turn out so great. Here are a couple that turned out ok.

Warm ups: Cavaliers

Warm ups: Jazz

LeBronHere's me being very annoying! I'm making Jett take self portraits! He HATES it!!!!

Excuse my recording skills. They suck! LeBron makes a shot. The Shack takes it back down the court for a dunk.

The Jazz won by one point!!!The crowd went NUTS, as you can imagine!

How fun! I'm glad you had a good time. Antwon and I went to a Celtics/Jazz game two years ago and it was a blast. I haven't been to Vegas in like 10 years either!

I wish so bad I could have gone to that game!!! We too love Lebron!! Braedon always says you don't have to get me anything for my birthday if you take me to see Lebron. Funny!!!

What a fun couple of trips! I have enjoyed reading your blog, your kids are beautiful! I slurp my blog on blurb.com. It is a little time consuming but I love having a hard copy of my blog. The books always come out nice and the kids love looking through them. Let me know if you have any questions. BTW I need to make an appointment, everytime I think of it I'm doing my hair and am late for work it seems! eek!! I need to call you soon!
