Whew! THAT was FUN!

As most everyone knows Tom and I got to go back to Las Vegas this past week.  We had a blast! We took a plane out to the West side of the Grand Canyon.  Once there we took a helicopter ride down into the grand canyon and then hopped on a boat and went down the Colorado River!

We went to the top of the Effiel Tower and rode the gondalas at the Venetian!  I am posting some pictures...by Friday we were ready to come home though.  We kinda missed the kids :) Only a little though!

Tom being cheesy!

We got to the top of the tower just in time to watch the fountains at the Belagio

No me though...

Our friends Karen & Chris who got married while we were there! If I had pics of the wedding I would show you all how beautiful the wedding was, but I don't have them yet!

One final lesson for those of you who play slots...THIS is why you ALWAYS bet the maximum credits!

Tom and I on the way to the airport to come home.  Is it just me or does he look tired?!?!?

What have you done?

I was surfing the internet and come across a site that got me thinking of all the "mean/funny" stuff we do/tell our kids.  I am notorius for being sarcastic and my kids are included! My top 3:

1.  I once convinced Elizabeth that her real name was Charlie and that we only called her Elizabeth because we didn't want the other kids at school to make fun of her!  I had her completely convinced for about 2 months before she finally asked Tom "Daddy, if my name is really Charlie, why do you call me Elizabeth?"  He was like "What?" And I just died laughing.

2.  If I don't want to eat at Burger King, McDonald's, etc. I tell the kids that they are closed for the day because it's the owner's birthday.  The reason there are cars are in the parking lot is because those are the people who are there for the party.

3.  We have fairies.  Yes, you read it right, FAIRIES.  What kind of fairies you ask?  Well, we have all kinds of fairies here.  There is a shoe fairy, a toy fairy, a balloon fairy, a tooth fairy, and a clothes fairy!  What do these fairies do?  THESE fairies come at night while the kids are asleep and cart off the broken toys, clothes/shoes that don't fit, and...well...you get the idea :)

I want to hear yours!
