Fabulous Las Vegas!!!


VEGAS BABY!!! We took a short but SWEEEET trip to Vegas just before Christmas to watch Boise State Rock the Maaco Bowl against Utah! It was my first time in Las Vegas and I loved it! We went with some of our good friends Melissa, Tyler and Emily:)They booked the hotel suit and invited us to road trip down there with them!! We are so grateful for good friends! :) While we were in Vegas we stayed at a beautiful new hotel The Vdara which is right next to the Bellegio and Aria,It was breathtaking! We checked out the Strip, did some dancing, went sightseeing, a little gambling :P and of course went to the Bowl Game!! It was such a fun trip! A HUGE thank you to Tysons mom who watched the boys for us so we could enjoy ourselves!!!



Watching the Water show at the Bellagio, It was Beautiful!

As you can see in this picture we were in Awe :)


Our good friends Tyler and Melissa :)


Another on of my favorite parts was the HUGE christmas room at the Bellagio. It was over the top! And Decked out for Christmas. So amazing!





We meet up with some freindly Utah fans on the Strip! :) It was fun going back and forth with them about Boise St :)





After we got home from Vegas we were plenty busy between all of the Christmas and New Year hussle and bussle!! Next post!..... Christmas!!

Playing Catch up:)

Tyson took his very first swimming lessons this winter! I was excited to sign him up because he is VERY hesitant when it comes to exploring water and I really wanted him to be able to conquer his fear... We made some progress on that, and I think he would have made more if we didn't miss as many classes as we did. (due to Snow day, being out of town, sickness, and one day Tyson completely refused to even get in the water:( But for as many classes that we went to We are SO very proud of him and his accomplishments!

One of his biggest fears was letting ANYONE take or hold him where he couldn't touch, including Mommy and Daddy :( But he really warmed up to one of his instructors and let him take him out in the water for a few seconds! They had all the students wave their arms and legs in the water while the instructor took them around, when it was Tysons turn he just held on SO tight but came back with a Smile on his face! We were so excited for him!! He didnt want to to it the next time but I know the more swim lessons he takes the more he will get used to it! :) GO TYSON!!! We love you!!


First day of Swim Lessons

So afraid to go out into the water!

He was so proud of himself when he came back
