Tebow ♥

Meet Tebow! Our lil pound puppy! He's 9 weeks old and sooo loveable. Very friendly and loves the boys! He had to of been someones pet and got lost. He is just so loveable and quiet and well mannered. He's going to be one spoiled little fella cuz he sure does not like being outside. He and Zoe are already buds. He is quite bossy with her. ! haha! He loves Luke and follows Luke everywhere! Looking forward to day he is potty trained! :) And if you haven't figured out how we got his name... he's named after Tim Tebow the Quarter Back for Florida Gators :) he is now on the Denver Broncos. But Tebow seemed to be just the perfect name since we are huge Gators and Tebow fans :)

 Playing with Zoe :)

Checking our Zoe's stuff :)

 He has already added so much joy to our lives! What a blessing! And Zoe is so good with him. At the moment he is sound asleep on his little bed :) Love my lil love bug :)

View from our room 

Belagio 

 They had character all over the strip!! Here's just one! I took lots of picts from Spongebob and patrick, Barney... Toy Story characters.. You name they were there on the strip!! Kids thought that was just awesome!



WE had a fabulous time showing the boys around. We didn't go into casinos since their's too much smoke and laws of kids being allowed in them. Which is fine... we really don't want to expose them to too much just yet ! lol! Thankfully they are so young and innocent and things go right over their heads! :0)



Bolder City Brewery

Ate at Bolder City Brewery for lunch! I have to say one of the best lunches i have ever had! and this is my 2 nd time going to a Brewery. I had a drink called "The Rattlesnake" and mix of their special brewed beer and apple cider. It was delicious!!! Justin had their Pilsner brewed beer. They poured our beer fresh out of their vats as you seen below! If you go to Vegas and go towards the Hoover dam you come to the little city Boulder City.... you have to stop at their brewery! You will not be disappointed!

Being his usal ree ree self ! LoL! :

Dinosaur Chicken Nugget fight!!! haha!

Great Outdoor World Bass Pro Shops

Mans most favorite place to go on earth :) This is the boys first time at this store! I think we came here 4 times haha! so much fun and so much to see! Boys had ablast as did Justin! lol! it is pretty cool even for a girl :) 

American Chopper made them a motorcycle! pretty awesome!

Yup... they even had a Mermaid :)

Flash Flood

After eating we experienced some serious rain in a matter of minutes! Rain drops were sooo big and came down so fast! we literally walked 10 ft to our car and all of us were soaking wet by the time we got in the car and we rushed! Unreal! From what i hear they have monsoons there! craziness! but so cool! I think it rained maybe 30 minutes and it flooded like this!

Hoover Dam

Took the boys to the Hoover dam. They thought it was pretty neato! Amazing how much they have done in a matter of a couple of years since Justin and I have been there. Huge and very high bridge that is now just a highway! They built it so you cannot see the dam when you drive over it. You think you are just on some bridge. Till you actually go to the Hoover Dam and you realize just how high you are and how big that bridge is! Mind Blowing!

Over looking the Colorado River

 been in 3 states in 2 days :) first for the boys!

Toothless

Luker lost his first tooth on Sept 1, 2011!!!! LoL !! his other bottom tooth is loose and is soon to be lost!! He was eating a hamburger when he noticed a crunch while chewing and spit it out and Wala! A tooth! When I told him the tooth fairy would visit him he immediatly laughed cuz he imagines a little man coming to give him money. You know where he got that from right? the movie The Tooth Fairy! hahaaha! So yes.. he really does believe there is a tooth fairy. Matthew almost gave it away that there is no such thing but I want Luke to have fun while young. so in our house. The tooth fairy exists :)

The boys had their friend Gage over to play and I heard some giggling. So i go check on them and they used Lukes stamp on their lips to make it look like they have lip stick on! hahahha! no they are not tranny's lol! I guess they are around me a bit to much! lol!!! Ohhh the things boys do :0)
