Who's life is this?

I just had to blog a little bit about my weekend...

Had the chance to meet Mitch in Vegas while he was working.  One of those forum presentation things where this company has to show that company a great time while selling to them why they have everything that your company needs and can't live without...  You know what I mean.

Ive been invited before, but NEVER go.  This time since we have older kids, and a Big sissy that is home with a baby we decided to leave and trust that the house wouldn't burn down.  (I know my girls are saying OH BROTHER right about now as I shouldn't worry so much they are great kids) But that's a Mom's job!  Worry about everything!





Anyway, I drove out to meet Mitch at the Wynn Resort.  He was golfing when I got there...  This is a picture from my room that I took.  It's the biggest golf course ever, I was amazed that I found him.


Can you find him?



So we were staying in the Wynn Towers Suites...  When I finally found this private entrance that is through glass doors guarded by an attendant to make sure you where going to the right place... I was ready to check in after a long drive.  I walked up to the desk to get my key.  I knew what to expect... that it would be a very nice hotel, so I needed to not pull up in my "Holiday Inn" travel attire!  lol...  I did fit right in...

UNTIL...



(I think I was laughing... however she made me feel like it was quite normal for people to walk off to the elevator with the whole tray)  I was grateful for her reaction!

When I got up to the room I was amazed.  WOW, I couldn't believe what I was looking at!  A beautiful suite that was about 14 hundred square feet with it's own private massage room, a bathroom as big as my kitchen... two refrigerators, beautiful furniture, candy boxes... (yes two!)  A crazy view... The best bed I have ever slept in with the greatest pillows as well... A Jacuzzi bath tub, wonderful robes, and slippers... It was just amazing.
We went to dinner at the Lake Side Grill in the Wynn!  A whole other experience in it's self...  Mitch surprised me with a concert... Gary Allan, an old friend from HS who has made quite a name for himself in country music.  We went shopping... Went to the Gun Store...


Mitch showed me what he wants for Christmas... lol
Hmm... Not so sure about this purchase!  We just had a wonderful time... I felt a little guilty that other family members weren't able to be there.  I wish I was rich so that I could send them all to have an experience like this... because while I did feel guilty for a little bit there...  I sure had a lot of fun!!


Just when I thought it was all over Mitch surprised me again with a wonderful trip to Serendipity!  Where I had their famous "Frozen Hot Chocolate"...  Another thing that everyone needs to at least try once in their life... It was wonderful.  After that... We drove home!  I was pretty happy to get home to the kids...  This trip was pretty perfect...

WOW!! It's been a year since I was last on!!

So my girl pulls up my lost and forgotten blog and say's..."Can you please post some pic's?"  Wow, what a joke!  I set this awesome goal of blogging as a way of keeping a photo diary.  I thought every year Id print it!  How easy would that be!

Failure!  So, I'm left with a pathetic looking blog, and solid proof that I'm a procrastinator!  How will I ever catch up?

Summary:  (AS UN-ORGANIZED as possible)






















































































































































SO let's see... Is it all here?  NO...
But that is why they call it a summary.  As best as I can remember we had Steph go to Samoa, she also graduated from HS somewhere in there and then went to Hawaii with her cousin.  There were many trips to Disneyland, and California beaches...  EFY for Ronnie, a trip to Vegas... TWICE, and straight A's!  Lot's of birthday gra's, a trip to Nauvoo to be in the Pageant... (2011) Yes, I never posted that glorious trip.  A trip back to Nauvoo 2012 with some dear friends!  Luau's!  Photography!  A grand baby!  A trip to Canada with Mitch...  A new car for Stephanie.  College at Chandler Gilbert for our Dodie as well...  Midnight Movie adventures!  A baby blessing, trips to UTAH!  New Years Eve extravaganzas!  The annual winter snow ball fights.  Kids growing... great food, awesome family devotionals...  A new car for Denice!  Denice going back to school to complete her Bachelors.  Wedding's, baby announcements for dear friends.

Oh my goodness I almost forgot about Aloha Festival!...And on and on and on...

It's been a wonderful year and a half, and maybe I can start fresh from this point and try to stay connected to this blog...  Obviously I'm not promising anything because I fear starting a blog for me is probably on the same level as starting a diet!

Coming up...  A couple more trips!  Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas... all of which will be Joseph Mitchael's "First"... So I'm sure I'll be blowing everything up with pictures.
Here's to turning over a new leaf!...  A girl can hope can't she?
