Vegas

There aren't many of these but this is a blog about Justin and I and not Will. Last week we left for Vegas with Justin's family. Mia, Mimi, Nana, Joe and Katy. We stayed at the Mirage and enjoyed the pool, great food as well as lots of fun and entertainment. We had a great time but missed our little boy. He got to stay with Grandma and Papa (my parents). They had fun with him and while we were gone he learned how to say Aspen (our dogs) name.

The first day we got there and enjoyed lunch at Carnegie Deli in the Mirage. Justin and I shared the biggest chicken salad sandwhich I have ever seen. It was yummy. This picture was taken in the hotel. So pretty.


We check into our hotel room and we had a great view of the strip. This pictures shows what we could see out our window. It was a great view expecially at night with all the lights!

That night we enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Tao with Joe and Katy. Then we went to Tao nighclub. It was so fun. Katy and I enjoyed dancing on a little stage made just for us!


The next day we woke up and headed to the pool. Monica was able to get us a Cabana. It was wonderful. We had our own TV, refrigerator, couch, lounge chairs, and floats. This was a very relaxing and wonderful day!

After hanging out at the pool we headed to dinner with everyone. We ate at Zefferino in the Venetian. It was a great dinner.

All the ladies at dinner.

After dinner Jusitn and I went to the Wynn to see Le Reve.


After the show we went back to the Mirage to do a little gambling. I am not a big gambler but now I am hooked. I won $1,600 this made the trip even better!

Saturday night we ate one of the best dinners I have ever had at Prime in the Bellagio with everyone. We had a great time and then continued the night at the Palms for the Toby Keith concert.


At the concert. We had great seats and it made it even better because Toby is such an Oklahoma boy and loves the Sooners.


After the concert we headed up to the Ghost Bar where we danced and enjoyed the patio that overlooked Vegas from 55 floors up.


The last night Justin and I had dinner together and then went to watch the water show at the Bellagio.

New Car!

Mia, Mimi and Nana came to visit and brought lots of toys for Will. He is such a lucky boy. Nana said since all of his friends have the Cozy Coup Will had to have it too. Will was so excited! He was a big help to daddy.


Will could not wait to go for a ride. He loved it even with no wheels or door.

Is it ready yet?? Hurry up! Daddy and Nana worked so hard trying to put it together.

While Will waited he played with his new Jack-in-the-box! He loves for it to pop open and gets a great big smile! This as well as a new tool box (in the front left side of picture) and dress up monkey were also some of the new toys they brought for Will. I don't know if its lucky or spoiled?
Yea!!! Finially finished! He was so happy. Still a little over a week later its still one of his favorites. Love that little smile!

Playdates with Maggie

As I am sure you have noticed we have had many playdates with Maggie this summer and here are two more. Last week we picked up Maggie and Ashley and headed to the park to feed the ducks. Will loved throwing the bread in and didn't even eat the bread this time. Maggie didn't really want to feed the ducks but she did roll down the little hill!





After we fed the ducks we went to the mall to play! Will liked climbing up the slide and then would wine at the top for me to help him slide down. In this picture Maggie is climbing up and Will is sliding down.

Will is such a good climber!

After we played hard we went to eat some lunch. Will loves to drink out of a straw. He also enjoyed eating his chicken and french fries dipped in katchup.


Today yet another playdate with Maggie. Ashley picked us up and we headed to Celebration Park. Will and Maggie enjoyed playing in the water as well as the park. Will is soo happy!


Maggie giving Will a big hug! So sweet.



He is soo silly. I can't keep him from drinking the water at the pool in the bathtub and at the splash park!




Playing on the playground!




Taking a break. We had a great time and enjoy our playdates so much! I am going to miss them when I go back to school. But I am looking forward to what next summer will bring.

Best Buddies!

Will has two best buddies this summer. One is Aspen who is Justin's dog that he has had since college but stays with his mom (Mia) most of the time but has been at our house all summer. Will loves Aspen, she gets more kisses than I do! Aspen is so good to Will as well.




So proud of himself for putting the hat on Aspen's head!

Will's other best buddy is Maggie. Will loves to hang out with her and good thing because it's about everyday! This is Maggie and Will playing one night at our house. Maggie likes shoes just as much as Will. They are both wearing my shoes in these pictures. Maggie is trying to get Will to wear both shoes like she is.

Wonderful Weekend!

Our weekend began with dinner and games at the Saavedra's house on Friday night. Saturday morning we woke up and went to the mall to go shopping for me. Then to Costco and back home for a nap. After nap time we went to pick up the Martin's and headed to Fair Park for Taste of Dallas. It was raining at home when we left but very sunny and hot there. We had a great time and ate wonderful food!

Ashley and I drinking our mommy drinks!

The Abraham's with Ashley and Maggie (Jack was taking the picture) We had to stop and take a break. Will and Maggie ate the ice from a snowcone without the syrup to help cool them off.

Will ate chicken fried rice and lots of other yummy things.

Our happy family!

After we got home Maggie and Will got to sit in the front seat of the car and play. When we got inside they continued to play together and have so much fun. They love being together.


On Sunday we headed to the pool to swim! Will still loves the water but I don't know how there was any water still in the pool when we left because he loves to dirnk it!

Today monday we headed back to the pool with the Saavedra's and Martin's. Maggie was happy to see Will and gave him a huge hug!

Today was a fun day!

Today started with Maggie and Ashley coming to play then we got in Ashley's car to lunch at Chuy's with friends. Will and Maggie like to ride in the car together. Here Will is putting his foot in Maggie's lap but doesn't seem to bother Maggie.

After lunch and a great nap we headed to the Martins to play and have dinner the Saavedra's were there too. Here is a pic of all the kids. This is not a great one but after many attempts we this is the best one I got. Maggie, Michael, Jonathan and Will. They play so well together!

Will loves Maggie's car!


After a yummy dinner we headed outside to play in the water and on the playgound. Will has so much fun playing in the water!

As usual Will putting his face in the water. Silly boy!



He loves to poor water on his face a try to drink it.


They took a break from the water and Will and Maggie play in the playground.

Will loved climbing up the slide and then sliding back down.
Will thought this was soo much fun. Thanks for a great night Martin's we can't wait to do it again. I don't know who is enjoying summer more Will or his mommy. It is going by so fast I can't believe it's already July.
