What Happens In Vegas....


This last weekend we spent in Vegas with Kurts family for a little reunion time. Not everyone could make it but we still had a blast. So much to cover and post on that it would take days to write it all out so I am just going to cover some highlights of our trip. Favorite Highlights: Game Nights especially Pictionary (lol, sorry Jaker), Chatting and catching up with Larkie and Kaylene, Skyjump (ohhhh yaaa), Bellagio Buffet with all the family, Little Baby Gracies blessing (Luke and Kaylenes newest addition), Swim time or in my case sun time, Family Conversations ranging in deep to embarrassing subjects, Prank calls, Watching all the kids play together, Family temple trip, etc. Those are just to name a few. Being together was just plain awesome even if we weren't doing anything in particular just catching up with everyone was worth the trip. I especially enjoyed seeing Larkie, Jake, and Luke because we don't see them as often. Larkie and I were able to have alot of girl chat time, and it made me realize how much I've missed her. I love you Larkie. Her babies are the funniest kids, they have her fun loving personality and made for some funny moments. Jake always brings life to the party, he is really creative and makes up fun games to play or topics to discuss, he cracks me up. Luke is also a funny guy, and since we grew up together, I always enjoy seeing their cute family. His little boy William was my little playmate and I loved every second of it. Get all these crazy guys in the same room and kiss your boredom goodbye. Now on to the gazillions of photos---

Cute kids playing in the jacuzzi on the deck of the awesome suite the main Shillig family had.

The 3 little guys hanging out together, they are all pretty much the same age, and they were so fun to watch. (William, Atticus, and Maddox)

Peek a Boo!

My pride and joy

Shillig men hanging out, who's feet are who's?


I don't remember what I was laughing at, my husband just loves taking random pictures of me

It's exhausting with all these cousin around


All aboard the luggage trolley! All packed up ready to go hit the strip and head home.

Family Photos before Larkie and Seth leave and we hit the strip

Getting all suited up for the SkyJump!

At the arcade in the Stratosphere, I started this elephant up for Maddox but as soon as it started moving he wanted off, so William decided to take a ride.

Bellagio Buffet- this was Jakes idea, he said we just had to try it so the whole family went. It was awesome! This picture does not do the justice I had in mind for these men and their PILES of crab legs. Jake and Chase were definitely the Kings of the crab.

The love of my life stuffed out of his mind right now. I look at this picture and a line from Tangled goes through my head. "All right I didn't want to have to do this but you leave me no choice....here comes the smolder."

The kids were dropping like flies, we were at the buffet for about 3 hours. Maddox got a nice little head massage from Grandpa that sent him snoozing.


My first experience eating mussels, Lark was so grossed out it was hilarious, I had to rub it in a little. ;)

Cute Isaac still going strong, his final plate choices shrimp and some oranges.


Emmitt grubbing on some ice cream, my kids even ate alot too. We were all so stuffed!! Really great buffet I highly recommend it!

Alaina covered in ice cream and running on sugar. Such a fun vacation!! I didn't want to come home. The videos are to follow in a seperate post, including my skyjump so stay tuned....
