Vegas

Last weekend we went on a quick trip to Vegas to see Al's parents. We ate at a few of our favorite restaurants including Sushi Fever and Peppermill.

We spent a few hours at MGMs pool on Saturday.

It wasn't the typical Vegas trip.... I showed up to the pool in a one piece with a baby. 3 years ago when we moved to Vegas I used to think OMG who would take a baby/kids to Vegas. I basically broke all of my rules.

Luckily we found some shade for Alex's perfect baby skin.

The later it got the louder the music got. Al #4 showed off his dancing skills.

Pretty good moves for a Grandpa

That night we walked to the Cosmopolitan which was probably a bad idea since it was still 105. We covered up Alex and I let him borrow my sunglasses.

We ate at Wicked Spoon which is the buffet at Cosmopolitan. I'm not really a buffet girl, but this food was delish and the desserts were the best.

Poor little Alex has to watch us eat all the time. I can't wait to feed him rice cereal in a few weeks. Note.....drool or spit up on Al's shoulder.

All of us 5lbs heavier after the yummy buffet.

I can't forget the amazing chandelier in the Cosmo. Definitely stole this picture off Google

Why not waste $1 to get a picture with some Show Girls. As you can see Alex was loving them.

We couldn't leave Vegas without sitting him at the slots.

Even though I've never seen the show I wanted to check out Pawn Stars.

Here it is....

The best was the ring that we thought was a BYU championship ring.....but the Y was for Yale.

and this awesome Baseball signed by Babe Ruth for only $13,000, what a deal!!

PS If you are going to drive back to LA on a Sunday leave early in the morning or late at night. What should have been a 4 hour car ride turned into 6.5, no fun.

Huntington Gardens

One word to describe Huntington Gardens is AMAZING. 200 Acres of beautiful gardens everywhere.

The next plant the cacao was our favorite because this is how Chocolate is made!!

We were there for a couple hours and I don't think we even saw half of the gardens. We will be going back for sure!!

A Day In Ventura

Last week Alex and I spent a day in Ventura with Tonya and Camden!! Best play date ever and so much fun to see our friends.

I love these pictures of Camden and Alex, too funny.

Alex is getting better with water that isn't as warm as his bath. He let me push him around on this float for a bit.

The Bush family definitely needs to move to California so we can have more play dates.

Weekend Fun

Last weekend we tried a Peruvian restaurant I've been eyeing in Glendale. I don't think we ever really had a dinner conversation between both of our babies doing something to occupy us.

I've been going to the pool a lot lately mostly to watch Al swim which makes me feel extremely lazy. Alex loves to be outside. He will usually lay or try to roll around in the chair for about an hour and just look around.

Al and I tried to re-create the picture below. I think I was a little older in the picture and obviously a lot chubbier, but he definitely looks like me when I was a baby.
And a cute video of Alex laughing. I love his laugh, so sweet.

The Bazaar

Last week I went to the Bazaar with Lindsey and Victoria. I think they purposely make everything bizarre so you will say that is so bizarre. I swear I said it at least 10 times during dinner. The restaurant was super sheek and trendy plus they played good music which always adds to the experience. We started off our dinner with yummy drinks. I had the virgin cotton candy mojito. They bring out a glass of cotton candy and pour the drink over it, so yummy. Too bad it wasn't free refills :)

The menu is all Tapas, which is always fun since you get to try a lot of different things, but notso fun when the portions are miniature. Our first Tapas was the Olives Modern and Traditional. The Modern were amazing. They were almost jello like and as soon as you put them in your mouth they pop and its the best olive taste ever.

Next up was the Tuna Ceviche and Avocado Roll, jicama, micro cilantro, and cocunut dressing

I loved the flavors and textures. It did not disappoint

Philly Cheesesteak

Sea Scallops with Romesco Sauce

Picture break....notice the tiny tapas on our table

Beef Hanger Steak piquillo pepper confit, natural jus

Cotton Candy Foie Gras which was very different. I was wishing there was more cotton candy when I was done.

Tortilla De Patatas "New Way" potato foam, egg 63, caramelized onions

Yellowtail

King Crab Steamed Buns pickled cucumbers

After our amazing dinner experience we were taken to another room for dessert. They showed us the chocolate sculpture of the week. I stared at it for like 5 minutes thinking no way that is all made out of chocolate.

Lindsey had this amazing....Nitro Cocunut Floating Island with Passion Fruit and Vanilla

The dessert bar to make all your selections

and my dessert which was very Bizarre to say the least. Hot Chocolate Mousse with pear sorbet and salty hazlenut praline

It was a great dinner and I can't wait for next months!!
