The Strip

We visited the strip...no trip to Vegas is right without seeing the strip!

New York - New York We parked here.The M&M Factory AKA 4 story store with only one restroom....this is where I fed Alestair and changed him...yes I was in the ONLY woman's toilet room for 20min. A little embarrasing but you would expect anther restroom to be in a 4 story place but no just one Toilet for men and one for woman. Another interesting fact about this restroom was when someone in the men's room flushed it woul make the womans toilet spray very nasty!

The Belliagio Fountains! They turn them on evey 15min and the water dances to whatever music they put on. Really really cool! The fountains spray as high as the casino really amazing!

It was HOT! But we did alright. We walked I don't know how many blocks but boy did we all feel and look really healthy by the end of it!

We saw some of the dancing girls on the way back. They must have been warm with feather boas and such heavy looking head things. Joyce wanted to get a picture of them as she has always wanted to see them! Here we got Daniel to take a picture with them. We also went to Freemont St. where the largest LED screen is right above the street. unfortuntely Robert had the camera so I didnt get to take pictures. We liked it there much better. They had a man playing instruments there outside the casinos and lots of little shops and things to look at other than gambling and it was MUCH less crowded! This is where Robert and Daniel went to play a game...aka slots. Robert won 300 dollars and then decided to play black jack and won 80 more.... No he is not addicted it is pretty funny though! needless to say we will be paying dr bills with the money.

While in Los Vegas...

Joyce and Daniel took us around the town. Lets just say the night time darkness hides a lot of things. We saw this lovely extended mobile home...someday maybe we will have some thing so nice (just kidding!). Funny thing though there seemed to be a lot of these homes that were extended; one even had a diswasher on the roof. They were really snazzy! Yes that is all one home from the rounded roof on the left over to the end of the pointed one on the right. The buildings on the back are also attached.

Trip to Los Vegas

Last week Robert took an extra day off work for a three day weekend so we took a 4hr drive to Los Vegas to visit some friends who recently moved there.

Joyce and Daniel are wonderful! We are really greatful that they let us come and stay with them. it was a much needed vacation!

They have a little dog named Ali who watched Alestair like a hawk the entire time. Mostly I think she just wanted his binky which she finally got on the 3rd day as I was packing something. She stole it right out of his mouth and started using it. unfortunately I did not think of getting a picture of it. I did get a picture of her stealig Alestair's bed.

Halloween Costume!

You may wonder what the point of this; is since Alestair is not trick or treating. Well, our ward has a Halloween party every year and everyone dresses up for it so this year Alestair will have his first Halloween Costume! I found it at Disney.com for $5! I was pretty excited. He is squirt from Finding Nemo. We were going to make an octopus costume for him but you can't beat $5.

Robert has eyebrows!!

Has anyone noticed that Robert has finally grown eyebrows? I noticed he was getting some just after we had Alestair. It seems he didn't want to feel left out when Alestair and I had eyebrows and he didn't. Here is a picture of them.

They are still pretty small but they are there!

Family Photos

While my mom was in town we got pictures taken of us and Alestair here is the turn out:

My fav is the one with the 5 pictures on it. It has all of the cutest ones.

Robert has been wonderful. He comes home and takes over diaper changes and is always able to get Alestair asleep. He will do pretty much everything except feed him and get up at night. The getting up at night is just impossible though. Each time Robert trys to get up he ends up talking to himself and getting out of bed walking to the living room and coming back to bed without knowing what he was going to do or that he was even up. Thus night times are just for me and Alestair :0). Robert is lucky enough to be able to come home for lunch. Today we tried to leave the house and eat. Alestair was in his seat talking to himself and when we reached our desination (walmart--we were out of diapers) he had fallen alseep. I went to take him out and came upon an explosion! Robert took care of clean up while I bought diapers. Clean up was a head to toe deal for Alestair. He managed to get poop on pretty much everything including the extra outfit we had for him. it was rather exciting and rather gross but Robert took care of it all.
