Happy Easter!

my adorable nephew Preston...love this picture of him with the bunny. He is so sweet and it makes me smile thinking back to last Easter when we welcomed him into the family.at the kids' school, Journey, they had this amazing chalkboard art for Easter...love it! our annual Bass Pro bunny picture..poor Sidney did not like the bunny.
We had dinner on Easter Eve at the Simmons farm. It was lots of fun with a great egg hunt and great food. We really enjoy these sweet families that invited us to join them on this special holiday.

Vegas, Baby!!

Daniel and I were so lucky to get to spend a long weekend in Vegas with my brothers and sisters in law, the Brooks and the Krolls. We celebrated Rachel's birthday while we were there with a yummy dinner and then drinks at the Chandelier bar in the Cosmo hotel then back for more gambling.The next day we had reservations at Tao Beach at the Venetian. It was so fun and probably my most fun time I had in Vegas all weekend. It was a big party and the perfect weather for our day in the sun by the pool, even Jason Derulo and his crew were there! Sunday we woke up and went to a great brunch then did some shopping for the kids then to LaGasse Sports Book at the Palazzo to watch the Masters. It was a great day and the atmosphere was really fun!Sunday evening we went to dinner at Yellowtail in Bellagio where we were staying. It was really good, what I ate since I don't eat sushi. We also passed a bowl of miso soup around. Very classy! Our bill was outrageous. We ended our final night in Vegas at our hotel at the tables. We did some War (I won), some Blackjack (I lost, Daniel won) and met some crazy people. Never forget the guy that reminded everyone of Vanderslute. All in all it was an amazing trip and I am so thankful to my parents who flew in and kept care of our crazy kids! Can't wait to do it next year!!
