Vegas

Yep, it's Vegas again!!! We went last year around the same time so we figured we should do it again this year. However, we did decided to stay for two nights this time instead of a quick one night trip.

Stephanie and I flew out first because we are stand-by so we have to go when we can! Alyssa joined us a few hours later. Once Alyssa got there we decided to go downstairs and start having a few drinks while we waited for Courtney and Stacey to get there. After a few drinks Alyssa and Stephanie were ready to dance!

As always our self-taken photo! Smile!!

For my birthday Stacey got me a flower ring that now all us cousins have to wear!! Mine is the biggest one and in pink!!! My favorite color!!!

I would also like to thank Alyssa who gave me an ASU beanie for my birthday as well. I plan to wear that as soon as it's cold enough to warrant a beanie!

After all the girl got here we headed out to O'Shea's Bar and Casino. We gambled and drank just had a good time. This picture of Alyssa is more of an inside joke she wasn't making fun of the disabled!

This girl here was just a HOT MESS and was stupid drunk so of course we had to watch how dumb she acted and take pictures!! Oh, and yes she is in a short booty dress with a thong!! We saw more then we bargained for with this one!

Working on getting drunk!
Stacey and Stephanie trying to lean in for a photo. Not sure why Stacey wasn't looking at me??
Knowing a self-taken photo was not in the cards for this one I just let someone capture us as a group. Plus I was getting drunk at this point so it's best I just ask for help when needed! : )

I believe Stacey might have been was molested at the table however no charges were filed. Stacey if you need my photo as evidence just let me know!
Can you say AA??????
Puffy and Courtney on a break for lunch!
Quick photo after some Cupid Shuffle!!
Alyssa trying her hand at the self-taken photo....needs just a little work.
Cousin's stacked! This is one of our more original layouts!
Stacey and Stephanie took a moment to themselves to have a dance.
Sisters!! Hey, where was I at????
Everybody put your hands up it's a Party in the USA!!!
Our beer pyramid. This is the eighth wonder of the world!
More sisters and little did we know a Manny in the oven!!
This is what happens when I leave my camera on the table and go to the bathroom. I get every ones random pictures. However, this one is good so I will allow it!
Now we have all three sisters.
Line dancing is always a must. It's electric!!!
More dancing
At Harrah's bar if this bartender could walk around the whole bar without dropping anything we all got free shots!!! Can he do it??????
Free shots!! That is Steph getting her shot!! You go girl!!!
Here we are with Toby in front of his restaurant where we planned to have dinner. So nice of him to stop by for my Birthday!
Steph is pretty short compared to Toby!
Courtney trying to sweet talk Toby into giving us our dinner for free but no such luck! Thanks anyways Court!
Yep, even our beer came in jars! Random but at the same time fun!
Here we are having dinner at the Toby Keith restaurant at the hotel. It was pretty good but a lot of food.
Cheers to me and turning ??!!
Birthday shot....notice Alyssa looking disgusted by the shot! I think this was the beginning of the end for her!
Stacey's HUGE bologna sandwich! I always said Stacey was full of bologna and now she is!! : )
Alyssa and her belly not feeling so great after all the beer and food.......
Courtney feeling fine and looking for a good time!!! Sorry Court no luck in this room!

Vegas was a great time so thanks to my Cousins and Sister for making the trip fun and drama free!!

New Moon

Yes, the day I have been waiting for patiently is finally here!! Last year at this time Twilight had debuted and I liked the movie but was not overly impressed. I mean nothing beats the book!! However, New Moon had a new director and the previews looked really good so I was very hopeful that this movie would be better!


As normal I'm always worried about getting bad seats at movie premiers like this so I left work early and went to get in line around 3:30pm (yes for the midnight showing). I was the fifth person in line so I was happy! After about 15 minutes Courtney and her friend Katie showed up so I at least had people to talk too!!

Here are me and Courtney as we wait in line. Is it midnight yet?????

To kill time in line I watched Twilight again on Courtney's ipod. That killed about 2 hours!! Around 8pm the movie worker guy offered to move a group of us into a theater so we could sit in chairs and not on the floor anymore. We were all excited!! A small group of us went into a theater and sat down. Boy was it nice to have a chair to sit in!! A few minutes later he tells us we have to move again but to wait an hour. Apparently he has no idea what he is doing. During that hour the majority of the family started to show up to claim their seats which was going to make the move to the next theater easier!

We finally got moved into our final theater and we could all just relax and wait for the movie. My cousins being the smart girls that they are brought their DS systems to play while we waited. However, I guess not everyone charged their DS since Alyssa had to go find a plug so she could keep playing!!

It was finally midnight and the movie was ready to start but of course there was some problem and the movie started about 15 minutes late and of course we had another 15 minutes of previews before the actual movie started!! Gosh, I have been waiting 9 hours just play the damn movie!!!

The movie finally started and I have to say I REALLY liked it! Now I'm not a big fan of the New Moon book because my boyfriend Edward is not really featured in it and I'm not a Jacob fan. However, the movie did a really good job following the book and all the wolves looked really good too! Overall this movie was WAY better then Twilight and I'm already counting down until Eclipse comes out June 30th 2010!! That is my FAVORITE book so I can't wait to see it on the big screen!!

Happy Halloween

Yes, I'm one of those people that dress up their dogs for special occassions!! it took Charlie some adjusting but he got use to the costume and he looks so darn cute in it!!

Everytime he went to the door with Randy all the kids were more excited to see Charlie then to get candy! It was cute!!

Oh, and for those people that can't tell he is Peter Pan!! Which is perfect for a puppy that doesn't seem to want to grow up!!

Fair

Sunday afternoon all of us cousins decided to go to the fair. We ate Piggly Wiggley Fries, Indian Fried Bread, Chocolate covered bacon, deep fried twinke, deep fried oreos, and a deep fried snickers. We all shared so it's not as bad as it seems. We hit a few rides and then we called it day. Best fair experience so far!!
