Boating

Sooooo if you have ever been around me and talked to me about swimming, water, boating ect. you know that I hate it!!! :) I have always sworn that we would NEVER own a boat.. But sometimes things change. :) Nikky (my sister in law) has a step uncle i think he would be : / that was GIVING his boat away to Nikky's dad but he didn't want it so they offered it to us for FREE!!! Of course Coleman jumped on the idea very quickly and I was more hesitant!! The only condition was that we had to go to Vegas and pick it up ourselves. This offer came about the week that Cole and I were driving to Vegas with our friends, So it worked out great. The boat is in amazing condition and it runs beautifully!! It had hardly been used before we got it. We had to put new tires on the boat trailer to get it home but other than that it was an amazing deal!! We wanted to take Zach and Nikky on the boat before they moved to Washington. So we did and we all had a great time!! Needless to say the boat is going to be really fun and I will sit in the boat but NO tubing for me!!! And by the way Nikky I don't hate you for the boat idea :)

Cute cousins

Sara and Brody getting ready to go on the tube.

Zach and Declan.

Declan was really tired and not happy about being on the boat.

He kept trying to cover his eyes.

And then he fell asleep in his momma's arms. So sweet!!

Paige on the other hand LOVES the boat!

Captain Coleman :)

Nikky was pretty terrified of tubing...

It was SO hilarious!! I wish you could clearly see the expression on her face in this picture.

Zach did a great job wake boarding!!

Coleman did good wake boarding too!! He was happy he got to go out on the boat before his surgery.

Smore's.... Delicious!!

I love love doing things with our families and We all love being outside. We had a "campfire" in Cole's parents backyard in their firepit a few weeks ago and here are some fun pictures. It was raining but we still ate some delicious smore's and enjoyed each others company!! Definitely a fun night to remember.

These two are seriously too much alike sometimes!!! :)

Las Vegas - Part 2

Okay here are more pics. While we were at the Venetian waiting for the show we discovered that this hotel totally ROCKS!! They have gondala rides and Madame Tussauds House of Wax. And they have a store called Paige!!

A new favorite picture.

The sweet gondola ride!

Well I didn't get a picture of the 4 of us in our own gondola the very next day but we did go on a ride!! A little expensive but how often do you get to go on vacation right? It was pretty romantic! :)

After the Blue Man Group show we walked to the Hard Rock Cafe and had dinner.. I have never been to a Hard Rock cafe so that was sweet. We bought some shirts and took some pics.

I love the Bellagio. 1. because of the awesome fountain show that I love to watch 2. It's just  really beautiful hotel and we discovered a beautiful inside too!!

This place was decorated so beautiful. I have been told that they change it with the season and the holiday.

Sweet Tree.

Bird habitat

The ceiling in the lobby!! It was so pretty.

We also did a lot of shopping at the outlet mall. The boys spoiled themselves rotten!! They are crazy shoppers. Lydnsi and I did pretty good though!! We actually didn't spend very much $$$. Maddame Tusauds House of Wax is so cool. We met a lot of celebrities ; ) Whoopi Goldberg met us at the entrance along with Will Smith.

Coleman was trying to look as cool as The Rock

Here he is trying to give Jennifer Lopez a kiss but she knows he is a married man!! How dare he do that!

Okay everytime i look at this picture i bust up laughing so hard!!! Lyndsi just beat Tiger Woods at golf!!! ; )

I still can't believe I got to meet OPRAH!! : )

I just have to say that I have the most amazing husband in the world!! I had such a great time with him on this trip!! I am so grateful for the wonderful husband and father that he is!! He is such a great provider and he is truly my best friend!! I can't imagine my life without him and I hope I never have too!! I am so blessed to have such a wonderful Eternal Companion!! I love you Coleman!! Thanks for a great vacation!!
