Viva Las Vegas

I hope all of you had a great New Years. I always love setting new goals and having a new determination to achieve them. We spent New Years up at Midway (near Park City) with our friends David and Becky. Both Becky and I are pregnant and due 10 days apart, both of us also having our first child. It was really fun to hang out, play games, and fall asleep on the couch before midnight! Don't worry, we woke up in time to see the ball drop! We met up with friends Rode and Katie for breakfast the next morning. They live in Heber and just had the sweetest baby girl Olivia in July. Thanks you guys for a fun New Years!


On January 1st, we continued our vacation by driving down to Vegas. Benj and I decided to have one last getaway before baby Bradshaw comes. We knew we couldn't afford anything to extravagant, so we decided on sunny, warm Las Vegas! It's a 6-hour drive, but I think I did pretty well! Our baby has found my ribs now, so he had a fun time kicking those. It doesn't hurt (yet) but it does tickle. :)

Here are a few pictures from our trip:

At the Bellagio. The Christmas display was amazing!


M&M World. I love this place! We saw a 3D movie too. This is probably the only place I would feel comfortable taking my kids to.


Me trying to pose. I think I have a bigger belly that the M&M!

The Rainforest Cafe in MGM.


Benj has seen the real thing, but this is the closest I've ever been to going to New York!

We had to try the famous In-N-Out Burger. It was fine, but Pace's is definately better!

The biggest highlight was seeing a Cirque de Soleil show called KA. It was INCREDIBLE! This is in front of the theater.

Since we couldn't take pictures, here are a few images from KA:






Also in the MGM. These were real poinsettas. I'm so lucky to have shared a trip with my handsome hubby!

I am so happy to see your tummy! It is so cute! There is nothing cuter then a prego belly (when it is not me being prego!)
We hope that we can get together with you guys and Chris and Ash next weekend!
You look adorable and only 15 weeks left!
