CraZy ~SCARY ~ MorNinG

Is this not the SCARIEST thing you have ever seen???? I was out running this morning and about stepped on this nasty Scorpion!!! I think I jumped 100 feet!! I didn't know for sure if it was alive but I wasn't going to find out either! I have never seen one of these before, they are so ugly and you could see right through it! I went and finished me run and then went home to get my camera so I could take a picture of the yucky thing! I showed Todd and he wanted to go see it too. Well he brought the darn thing home! I about died! Todd said it was the biggest one he had ever seen! We showed Carson and told him if he ever saw one of these big or small to RUN!! I am scared to go camping with these running around! I don't think I will ever get used to the yucky bugs here! I will definitely keep my eyes more open now, especially where my little ones play!! What a great way to start off a morning~scared to death!! :)

Surpise BirThdAy in LaS VeGas

Todd surprised me for my Birthday! He took me to Las Vegas to stay in the Venetian and to see the Blue Man show!! I was so excited, we dropped Ellie and Carson off at Brooke and Brandon's.(Thank You so Much!!!) We went and ate at Olive Garden and then headed to the hotel. It was so pretty inside! They had so many things to see. We really loved the Blue Man show, if you haven't seen it you should, it is really worth the money! Thank you Todd for a wonderful Birthday! I love you!This is inside the Venetian, we wanted to go for a ride but it was $16 a person so we passed, plus everyone looks at you and takes pictures so it wouldn't be very romantic anyways!
At the end of the show TONSand TONS of toilet paper goes everywhere and they send it up to the front, we were all covered! It was a really fun night! The music and drums were amazing!

They are pretty cool looking, if you get too close the paint splatters off on you!
This is the view from our room. We got to our room around 2:30 am and our bathroom was so disgusting, they hadn't cleaned it so I called the main desk and they upgraded us to a view room! I guess it helps to complain!!

It was a really nice room, it still grosses me out so I NEVER where bare feet, I even shower in flip flops! I know I'm retarded but it is so nasty!

CaMpInG with HoUgHtOn Family

We went up Skyline camping with Todd's family. We had a lot of fun. Carson and Ellie had so much fun playing with cousin's, the dirt, the 4-wheeler's and the dogs! (Ellie kept everyone up all night, that is not normal for her, she is such a great sleeper. She was scared and didn't know where she was!) Carson and Ellie loved playing with there cousin's Avery, Berkley and Paisley, they haven't seen each other for a long time. It was fun to be with everyone! Thanks Stan and Merilee for letting us come!Berkley ~ Ellie

A day on Papa's Boat

On the 24th of July we went out on Papa's boat. Carson and Noelle were so excited, that is all they talked about. A few people got to ski before the boat stopped working. We had an Old Blue flash back! It was still fun to be out on the lake! Thanks Papa & Nana, it was a fun day!

Memory Lane

Okay friends, here is a new game for us to try out. I've seen this on a few blogs and it looks like fun, so here we go...
Here are the directions:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave a memory that you and I (or you and Todd) had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember, good or bad but be nice!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.
Keep it going. ENJOY!!
