Turkey Day 2010

Thanksgiving was at Leah and Mike's this year. What a BEAUTIFUL home they have. This is the only picture I have from the day, and the only reason I have it, is thanks to my dear sister-in-law, Laura.

Funny story from Turkey day 2010: Leah put the turkey in the downstairs fridge until Thanksgiving day. Only when she went to get the turkey out of said fridge that morning, she realized the fridge was not plugged in and that poor turkey had been sitting in there for 3 DAYS! So dearest Leah ran to the grocery store early in the morning to get a non-nasty turkey. The only turkey she found was a whopping 30 pounds! Needless to say, there was more than enough to eat.

Thanks Leah and Mike for letting us spend Thanksgiving at your house!

Las Vegas

Do I go to Las Vegas more than most people? Apparently. But I love it. I took my parents and my little brother and his fiance for a weekend getaway just before Thanksgiving.



Let the dam jokes begin!!!

We went on the dam tour...

This was my favorite part of the tour! Obviously, they have to have a way out of the dam just in case the power goes out, so there are a MILLION stairs, you can't even see where it starts or ends. Our dam tour guide told us that his friend took the stairs once and it took him almost an HOUR to do the whole thing.

It was so freaking windy. I could NOT stop laughing! You could lean into the wind and it would support you. But the funny part was, it was only windy in Nevada. As soon as you crossed the state line into Arizona, it wasn't as windy.

This is the part where I told Jake "hey dad is taking a picture so make a dorky face with me"

We walked across the new bridge.

The gift shop.

Las Vegas temple

Of all the times I've been to Vegas, I have never taken my picture in front of the sign. Check that one off the bucket list.

Our last night there we went to see Blue Man Group. SO. FREAKING. AWESOME.

I have seen a lot of Vegas shows, but this one is definatly in the top 3.

The parents went to get our tickets while Jake, Jenna and I went to the M&M's store. My mom called me while she was standing in line and said "how do you feel about sitting in the 'poncho section'?" And I said "not good". You wear poncho's so you don't get paint on you! But I ended up being worried for nothing. We didn't get splattered.

New Callings All Around

After 3 years of being in primary/nursery (and that's just in this ward) guess who FINALLY got released?! ME!!! I enjoyed my freedom for about a month. And then the 1st counselor showed up at my house. I am now, drum roll please....................
