I had a great Mother’s day this year. We started off with a yummy breakfast that Darin cooked along with a mimosa. In the afternoon I hosted a dinner party for some of my favorite mom’s. My mom, James and Jaret came over along with Julie and Ray (my neighbors) and Maree, Adam and Lilli. We had a delicious dinner and there was a lot of time to relax and enjoy each others company. Here are some cute pictures of the kids:

Sharing his favorite toy "Buckley bear", children just love buckles
I was lucky enough to go to Las Vegas on a girl’s trip with some of my besties the end of April. Darin allowed me to go to celebrate turning 30 this winter and not doing anything “big” with my friends. Since most of my friends turned 30 this winter we planned a trip to celebrate, but only three of us were able to make it this time. I guess we will have to do it again =)
We flew out early () on a Friday and so it seemed like we had an extra day in Vegas. We stayed on Fremont St. at the Golden Nugget. This hotel was AWESOME! The rooms have just been remodeled and were very nice. The pool is amazing and actually has a water slide that goes through a shark tank. Maree’s husband Adam was nice enough to rent us a pool side Cabana as our belated birthday gifts. This Cabana had a flat screen TV, refrigerator, ceiling fan and lounge chairs and bed’s to relax on. We spent most of the early afternoon eating nachos, having drinks and watching the Royal Wedding on TV.
We spent three nights staying up too late, drinking too much and sleeping in to long. I could not have asked for a better time. I don’t have many pictures because I was too busy having fun. There is one picture I will have to post later that was taken with Maree’s camera; it was all three of us girls with 10 members of the Las Vegas fire department. They were doing a charity where you donate money in their boots. Misty loves fireman so she donated a $20 if we could have a picture. Here are a few:

The Cabana
Look at the annoyance of the camera guy on the left. He was trying to shoot an episode of Cops and I jumped in and wanted a picture. What do they expect trying to film on Fremont St.
Water slide going through the shark and fish tank
Waterfall going into the lazy river that surrounds the fish tank
We went to the Pawn Stars pawn shop. Misty loves this show and had to go there.
