2 Great Years

We didn't get enough of Vegas when we lived there so we went back for our 2 year anniversary. We stayed at the Encore and loved it.
Somehow we got a room on the 61st floor which is 2 floors from the top and the view was unreal. The pretty bedroom with remote control lights.
The living room with remote control blinds which I totally want someday.
The amazing bathroom with the best vanity ever.
and our view.....floor to ceiling windows
We went to dinner at our favorite sushi place off the strip. We got our favorite roll which is on the secret menu with their secret sauce. Don't worry I didn't eat the tuna and it was still amazing.
This was our view during the day.

We had breakfast at The Hash House which we also loved when we lived there. Everything on their menu is HUGE including their pancakes. Al and I can never agree on sharing anything because he wants things like the snickes pancake and
I want things like this Hash with artichokes, mushrooms, and spinach.
We stopped at Ann Taylor to see one of my favorite ladies I met while we lived in Las Vegas.....ELLEN. Love her!!
I can't believe I'm actually posting this next picture, but here I am 4 months pregnant in a one piece swimsuit. I wasn't about to get in a 2 piece in Las Vegas especially with all those hot bodies walking around. How times have changed....
We saw La Reve again and it was even better the second time.
The very end, so pretty.
I couldn't resist and had to check out the new club Surrender at Encore. Al and I people watched for about 30 minutes while I complained about how loud the music was, how my head was throbbing, and how I couldn't wait to unzip my pants because they were too tight...lol Again how times have changed.
My favorite thing about Encore is still the red chandeliers
Of course we went to breakfast at the Peppermill which was delicous as always.
We spent Saturday laying by the pool until I was hungry which seems to be every couple of hours these days.
For our anniversary dinner we ate at SW Steakhouse at The Wynn. The atmosphere was beautiful and the shows on the water were fun to watch.
Appetizer: Lemon Marinated Shrimp
My Dinner.....Unfortunately I've totally lost my appetite for steak which sucks since we went to a steakhouse. I settled with the roasted sea scallops with risotto and black truffle sauce.
Al had this huge 18oz steak.....he ate every bite!!
Happy 2 Year Anniversary. I'm so thankful to have Al in my life. Love Him!!
Last but not least our presents for each other. 2 Years= Cotton, so I got Al some new sheets and triathlon stuff. These sheets are AWESOME. We had 800 thread count and they are way better than those. I highly recommend them.
Al got me a cotton bella band.....that's right none of my pants will zip up. and a video camera. I've been bugging him for months to buy me one, yay!! and the most creative present of all.....A letter on Pure Cotton Paper:) Happy Anniversary to Us!!

It's True

Some of you may already know our exciting news and yes it's true I'm pregnant!! See for yourself..... This is a 3-D picture from my 11week ultrasound. I'm on my 14th week and due March 18th.
I've been sick as a dog and had no motivation to do anything. My gym membership is getting dusty, my skin looks like I'm 14 again, the bloating never seems to go away, the pounds keep creeping on (just look at my cheeks), and 12 hours of sleep a night doesn't seem to be enough. I'm glad to be done with my first trimester and I'm crossing my fingers that I feel better in the days to come. Al and I are so excited about this new addition to our family.

L.A. County Fair

We went to the L.A. County Fair last night and I must say it's indescribable. I've never seen a fair this big, but then again the only one I've been to is the Utah County Fair. I had 3 things I wanted to do.....ride the big yellow slide (I wasn't really sure if the L.A. one was yellow), find a place that served Navajo Tacos (Al told me that was a Utah thing), and look at the animals. We were there for about 4 hours and I think we only saw 1/2 the fair. Of course when we got there Al said he was starving, so he started off the night with a Hamburger and Fries. I might as well go through all the food we ate now....I don't believe it myself and actually get sick thinking about all of it. I can't tell you how many booths we saw grilling Turkey Legs.
Me taking a bite of Al's $10 Turkey Leg.
Corn On The Cob
This was Aarons specialty which includes butter, mayonnaise, cayenne pepper, parmesan cheese, and lemon juice. Sounds disgusting, but it was really good.
The world's biggest corn dog
and yes Al had one
A chocolate covered Bacon stand right outside where the pigs were.
Aaron's last stop for the night was the Deep Fried Snickers stand. Only like 2000 calories.
Get ready for deep fried EVERYTHING.....Klondike Bars, Avocados, Smores, Krispy Creme, PB&J, Frog Legs, Twinkies, Butter, and Oreos. I'm sure I missed a few and you would not believe how many people were waiting in line for all this.
We wonder why American's are overweight?
Guess what I found? The only stand in the fair that sold Navajo Tacos....hahah I think Al was a little suprised I found it. So glad I did because it was delicous.
Enough of the food and onto the animals......the Bee exhibit where we bought flavored honey. Al had green apple, I had cherry, Celia had Watermelon, and Aaron had grape.
The world's biggest pig. She was seriously amazing.
The cutest baby lambs.
This rabbit was my favorite. Look at those ears, so cute.
another HUGE pig.
The craziest fair EVER I was so happy when I spotted this slide and even better it was yellow just like the one in Utah. It definately wasn't as cheap to ride, but it was still worth it.
Here we all are before our big race where Al cheated.I'm not really sure what you would call this next picture.....maybe the bubble boy. You pay to climb inside this plastic ball where they inflate it and push you in the middle of the pool where you look like a hamster spinning a wheel. I'm sure it's a great way to wear out kids and it's way entertaining to watch. Our last excitement of the night was the Ice Display where of course you had to pay to get in.
The coolest display cost to get a picture in front of....wait didn't we just pay to see the ice sculptures? LAME. The fair was quite the adventure. We will definately be going back next year, but for less food and more people watching.
