Viva Las Vegas!

My husband and I had the pleasure to visit Las Vegas, Nevada last week. What a beautiful city and state! I really loved the atmosphere and beleive it or not, I really loved the weather. The city has very low humidity, this is something that Michigan has an unbearable & significant amount of (thanks to the Great Lakes). The view was something really new and different for me, being it was my first time out west, I really appreciated the red rocky landscape.   Overall, it was a great and memorable experience and I hope to return again next year. A few shots that I would like to share with you all from the strip in Vegas.

We ♥ Summer!

The month of July has been very fulfilling and has not  disappointed! I know it's been a good month because I have taken a total of 1500 photos in two weeks. This does not include photos from my iPhone. I am trying to make the best of each and every day, especially for the summer since us Mid-West folks never see the sun. I love everything about summer. I love the hot summer weather, I love our time as a family at these summer festivities and most of all we love the Beach! If you live in a state where you have nothing but warm and sunshine, consider yourself SO LUCKY.
My hubby and I are leaving on vacation very soon, it will be my first time leaving both my children- EVER! I am so scared and nervous.I have NEVER been one day apart from my children. The vacation I will go on will be pretty exciting and of course, I will be happy to report much photos. Hint of where I am going: It's a place very BRIGHT.  The photos above are from some of my favorites events in the summer.

The Empire strikes back

A few posts ago, I discussed how my husband was a crane toy junkie. Well, At our trip to Chicago at GameWorks he managed to strike again. I thought the themed toy machines were too cute. They had South Park, Kung Fu Panda, HellyKitty and a lot other cool characters. My husband did his damnest to get  LexiBug the HelloKitty toy. He got it after the second try. He also scored her a Kung Fu Panda stuffed animal as well. Which by the way, I was really disappointed in the movie Kung Fu Panda 2. Next door to this GameWorks is a huge movie theater .I took the kids to  watch a movie while my husband stayed glued on the Street Fighter 4 arcade. The theater was almost empty so It was good for me because history has shown us that Lexi can not sit even 20 minutes into a movie. Usually I sit in the handicap area where no one is and Lexi just runs back and forth in the same aisle. Anyways, the movie was a big disappointment for me. I would have rather went to see HangOver 2 and gazed into Bradley Cooper's piercing blue eyes! :)
