Last Full Day In Vegas

Well, today was it. I got to spend more time with Alyssa and Alexa and the Browns. They were so nice to have me. They made sure there was good food and times. Alyssa and I went to watch Alexa at both gymnastics and soccer. If you have not seen three year olde do these things, you need to. They are so cute and funny. Then we went to look for Halloween costumes and bought pumpkins to carve. We played a little Guitar Hero again then got to work on the pumpkins. After we had fun creations, I headed back to Morgan and Derek's where I had fab tacos...yum! Morgan and I then went to see the fountains at Belagio again so she could see them in the dark. I love those fountains if you hadn't figured that out by now. We then came home and "watched" a movie(I fell asleep like often happens). I am so tired; being a tourist is tough work!!!

whole lotta stripin' going on

spent most of the day on the strip with Morgan and derek and the cutest boys on the planet. We Did some shopping and saw the fountains. Do know that there will be a lot of pictures and one cool video to come. That is the only down to my toy, it does not have uploading capability. See Morgan's blog again for pics. She is being a dilegent blogger while I have been in town. Henry said something cute at McDonald's today while eating a Sunday. He said: "mom my stomach is cold" cute.

Tonight I am staying with the Browns. You remember Alyssa and Alexa. Alyssa used to teach Math with me at Independence. Her family is cool and nice. Too bad Alyssa had some sort of alergic reaction after dinner. We did not get nearly enough Guitar Hero in. We did get to play hide and seek with Alexa which was hilarious. Have I mentioned that I love kids? Three year olds are so cute and funny.

I have no concept of time. I thought it was Saturday today. I am glad it is not because vacation always goes too fast. Well off to sleep I have some soccer and gymnastics to watch tomorrow.

P.S. Just for reference the ruben I had there other day came from Jersey Mike's not Jersey Joe's

much too late but it is vacation after all!

One a.m. Two a.m. Utah time. Sleepy. We had fun just hanging out today. We played outside with the cute boys, Henry and Spencer. We also had fab sandwiches at Jersey Joe's. I do not know Joe but he makes a good Reuben and those are hard to come by out West. While Derek was working, we took the boys to the Casino. Ok, so we took them to a casino but to the kid friendly part of Circus Circus. Henry had a fun time riding the kid rides and playing games. I got in on the action and played the crane game and hit the jackpot. I had mentioned to Morgan two things I needed to do in Vegas: see the fountains at The Belagio and get a large beach ball for my girl's PE class to play volleyball with. Well as the universe would have it there were these cool balls in the crane game. I won three on five tries. To see the fun pics, check out Morgan's blog, the link is in the side of this page.

I also got to see Leslie from Wisconsin. She is so sweet and her birthday is Sat so Morgan and I baked her a cake. Granted the cake was a little dry because of a lack of eggs but it was good. It was so nice to see Les again she is so cool. It is also awesome to hang with Derek and Morgan and the boys. They are so fun and nice to me. We are going to play on the strip tomorrow. Good times!!

I am also going to spend tomorrow night with Alyssa which I am looking forward to. We are going to play Guitar Hero and have a sleep over. I don't think you ever grow out of those. Now off to dream about the soothing sound of the slots. :)

Viva Las Vegas!!!

I have made it to Vegas. It is officially Fall Break. I am getting better at typing on this new gadget. I was glad to have my Mom congratulated me on my purchase. One of my friends judges me on my buying. She just doesn't understand me and that is ok. This is a toy that I know I will use every single day. I am staying with Morgan and Derek and Morgan was picking on me for playing with my "iPhone." Silly it is an itouch. My Students also called it a phone and told me to put my phone away because they are not allowed in class. Silly kids thinking the adults have to follow the rules! I thought it was so handy to use my Touch to take attendance during PE today. I can totally write this off as a business expense now, right? I think I need to get a life if I am so excited about a piece of electronics.

I loved driving into Sin City. I am a sucker for the lights of the strip. I also enjoyed my In-N-Out Burger for dinner. I love burgers lately. I am excited to have some fun with friends. I am also looking forward to the Belagio fountains. I have been here enough to be over the Strip, but I always love the Belagio experience.

Well, I better get some sleep. I LOVE Fall Break!!

Spoiled Brat

Me and my new Ipod Touch. Notice that it is actually on my blog site.

So I caved in and bought an Ipod. Say what you will about me seeing I have complained a lot about Apple and their lack of compatibility. I guess their amazing marketing ploy worked on me. I did get a great deal on it and am glad I bought it even though I know it will now consume my time now that I have to get all my music onto it which will be challenging with my compatibility issue. Well, not mine but my other mp3 player's. I told a friend last night that I am jealous of myself now like I have been of the guys at work who all have Touches. It is so cool. I am posting this on my new toy. I know you are impressed. Just hold your jealousy! :)
