Ahhh...finally!

Well I know is been awhile and a lot of things have happened so heres one of them :)

David celebrated his 26th birthday on the 21st of Nov and then we had our 3 yr anniversary on the 22nd of Nov. David worked non stop for about 2 and a half months, so he took a week off and we headed out of town for a week off work/birthday/anniversary celebration!!!!
We left Monday the 17th for a week long vacay just the two of us :)
We decided to take a motorcycle trip...the weather was fabulous and we thought it would be fun, so we hooked up the trailer, tied the mc down, had to fit a weeks worth of clothes in a little tiny bin on the mc (thats the only part I dont like) packed the kids up and headed to st george. My mom watched the kids (thank you) and then we headed to vegas! We stayed at the signature at the MGM Grand. Its a non casino hotel, but it connects right to the MGM so it was way nice! We stayed there til Thurs and then headed off to Deah Valley National Park in California. We were supposed to camp thurs night, but we didnt make it before sun down so we stopped at this hotel in Pahrump, NV. It is about 90 miles from vegas, its i guess known for its prostitution, yeah, crazy anyways....so we got there, found nothing but strip clubs and casinos, so we decided to go see a movie. They had one little movie theatre in town and the only show they were playing was james bond, so james bond it was...It was such a fun experience, their movie theatre consisted of, black drapes, a drop down projector, and fold out chairs and yeah it still cost 8.75 a person!!!!
It was too funny. We had a good time, everyone there was really nice and it was a funny experience. The next morning we got up early and headed to death valley. We couldnt have asked for better weather, it was perfect! We drove around the park, stopping at different sites, it was such a neat place, we stopped at this one place with these awesome mountain formations then a few miles down we stopped and hiked some sand dunes, it was great! We had a great time! The whole trip! David did started asking about the kids by the end, he thought he wouldnt miss them, but he sure did :) We headed out of the park and all the back to st george!! We stopped to fill up at this one place outside the park, it was this nasty gas station and behind it was a prostitution house, i was like you have to be kidding me, and we were about 60 miles from area 51, which i thought was pretty cool! so in the gas station they have all these signs for the bar and you know what out back and then all these other signs with aliens, saying "we believe", yeah we definitely had some interesting stops on the way...:)
So without further adieu here is our mc trip!

The first day in vegas, we walked around, shopped and took pictures!!
I had never been to the Wynn...wow that place is amazing!!! This was outside one of the ice cream shops in the Wynn by one of the beautiful waterfalls they had

this is on the balcony at our hotel, they had this mirrror door, so we took pics of that too :)

So that huge thing that Davids drinking, its a virgin margarita, but who gets a virgin anything in vegas, so we seriusly got a million and half looks walking down the strip that day, we probaby got it around noon time, it was funny

The view from our room and the cool pool

We ate at PF Changs, we love that place!
and then took some more pics on our way back to our room

David packing the motorcycle. We took a day ride on Wed through the Valley of Fire in Overton. Good times!

Just taking pics...dont mind my poses.... :)

that night my sister brittney hooked us up with a great deal to see KA (thanks brit!) and we were way excited!!

The show was amazing!! We were so glad we got to go!

Here we are at Death Valley
Cool mountains huh?!


These are the sand dunes. I should have taken a picture of how far the walk was to the actual dune, it was far...but we made it!



It took us so long to get out there, we decided to have some fun and jump some branches


See how far I jump....now look at where David lands....





He's crazy, you all know this :)




These were some of the neat rocks we found on our little hike

and theres us :)and us again!
Ready for the 4+ hr ride back to st george.....fun stuff huh?!
Yes we had a great time! and we're so glad we were able to go!

Yay a post! You guys are so brave. A night away from kids sounds wonderful...sometimes I can't wait for Jack to stop nursing!
Oh and yes we haven't been coming to aerobics, Sam just is so sensitive with all the kids. yeah, and that picture of me exercising at home, it happens very rarely, even though I have an elliptical. See you Tuesday!
