Baby update: Everything looks great and the baby's heartbeat is in the 140s. That's just what Walker did when he was in me. The first appointment he was 163 just like this one and the 2nd time he was 148. Maybe a boy?! Maybe a girl?! We will find out in 5 weeks. We can't wait!!!!! I just want to figure out room decor. :)

This is just one of the things we brought Walker back. We bought him this drum set, M&M world T-shirt, and of course we had to get him a Snap-on hat. They also handed out a lot of free stuff that we had to get two of. One for Walker and one for Josh.


This was one of the original Snap-on trucks.



This is the water show at the Bellagio which was so pretty and peaceful to watch. The water danced to the Titanic song.




This is the casino across the street from us that had a huge water show day and night. The Bellagio is a HUGE casino and they are adding on another part.


This is the light show that is above Fremont Street that everyone talked about. We thought I was going to be this great thing but we were sadly disappointed. The pizza there was great so it wasn't a waisted trip.



These are some of the oldest and most popular sites from Vegas. You see the Golden Nugget, the cowboy, and the cowgirl in just about all the movies that are filmed in Vegas. As a matter of fact, I happen to catch the ending of Pure Country yesterday and it showed all three of these. In case you were wondering, this is Fremont Street.

Viva Las Vegas

Josh and I just came back from our trip to Las Vegas this past weekend. We left Friday afternoon around 3:00 and arrived in Vegas a little past 4:00 thanks to the different time zones. The Snap-on convention was at the Bally's and Paris casinos so we stayed at the Paris. We had to be there by 6:00pm for Snap-on's welcome party where we got a sneak peak at the stuff for the show the next day. Saturday was a mad house because they had some great deals on tool boxes and new tools that are coming out later this year. Josh and I were a little overwhelmed at times because that was the first show I had ever been to. People tried selling Josh everything you can think of that had Snap-on on it somewhere. The most interesting thing Josh bought was Snap-on beef jerky made just for Snap-on so you cannot buy the same stuff anywhere else. Josh was impressed with that. They also had a lot new trucks,(way over priced) motorcycles, and one of the original Snap-on trucks which was my favorite. Saturday night they a huge dinner for everyone which was very nice. After the dinner they had dancing but we didn't stay for that part. A group of us went to this bar that was in the middle of the casino and raised up a little so you could watch everybody. The men drank and talked about tools and the women people watched til about 2:00 am. Josh and I then walked around for a couple of blocks but it was to hot for us to walk to much. Sunday was relaxing! We went back to the tool show and glanced at everything to make sure Josh did not miss anything and then Josh turned in his order book and off to the pool we went. It was very hot outside and the pool was way to cold to enjoy so we decided to walk around . We headed to Fremont Street and found some of the best pizza for dinner. We watched the 7 minute light show and headed back to the hotel to watch the water show. Monday we got to order room service!!!! The last time I ordered that was when we got married. It was so nice to pack and get ready and not worrying about breakfast, because it was on it's way. Our plane was at noon and we got home around 7:30pm. The best part of the trip was coming home to see Walker!! I was so excited the whole plane ride home.

Did you say the Flock of Seagulls were coming to town?
