Vegas Baby!

Jacob and I went to visit my sister MaryAnn and her family in Las Vegas this past weekend. We had a good time and loved getting to see and hold my new niece. She is adorable. So are Megan and Lauren. Lauren was killing me with how much she talks and how cute her little voice is. I had a difficult time understanding a lot of what she would say but I got the "don't look at me" and other such tantrum statements down. Megan is super funny too. Very imaginative and could play all day long. She wore me out for sure. And I'm positive I frustrated her on more than one occasion (getting kicked out of the girls club for talking to Jacob, not letting everyone finish candy land). I guess I'm a mean aunt.


Jacob and I also went to the strip one night because Jacob had never been. It was pretty much the strip, with a few more casinos than the last time I was there.


On our way back to MaryAnn's house we stopped at a Cafe Rio for dinner. I was so pleased to share a chicken salad with Jacob. Cafe Rio is the best!



And the baby, of course.

Yeah, those are some cute pictures. I do want some prints but I will have to take more time and look and them again. It was fun having you.

What a beautiful baby! And what great photography skills. I am glad to see you stopped for some M&Ms. That's surely where I would head if I were there.

Your new niece is sure cute! I love Cafe Rio. . . .

I did a double take when I saw you had taken Jacob to the strip because he had never been. Yeah, well, I have an active imagination and filled in all sorts of scenarios around that sentence until I read it again. Precious precious baby.

Congrats to all connected. Babies, nieces and family in general are the best.

You know you aren't a mean aunt!! The baby is adorable, as are her sisters; thanks for sharing the pics as I am ashamed to say I haven't been by to see her in person yet. I'll have to remedy that. Aunt Lynda

Cute little girl. Being with three little ones...good enough birth control for ya? :)

I think the strip is probably worth seeing once or twice, but it gets old fast. Emily is getting very cute, the new born weird look is mostly gone!

Mom and I watched your slide show and thoroughly enjoyed it! Ed Madsen and fam went to the strip recently. Sam commented that he'd never seen so many trophy wives. Ed said "Uh, Sam, those arent't trophy wives!" Isn't naivety grand?
