UFC!

Tonight my cute hubby is inviting some friends over to watch the UFC. I am making a bunch of goodies for them and taking the kids out of their hair the whole night. It is part of his birthday present from a couple weeks ago. Doing nice things for your spouse sure does make ya feel good inside!

Scorpions and Spiders and Roaches Oh My!

First off I have to say I have loved the weather here in Vegas. It is always sunny and warm out. There have been some things about it here that I am not liking. For example, the health care is terrible. I have gone to a few pediatricians so far looking for a decent one, a couple of family doctors, and my woman doctor is proving to be as horrible as the others (not calling until a month later to tell me I needed antibiotics!). Also, the attitudes people have about living here has been discouraging. Why cant I just run into somebody who has something good to say??? Like I said, I have loved the weather ans also have loved the fact that we have been getting a lot of visitors. I love company! BUT I do HATE something about it here worse than the people and the health care and that is the BUGS! I had my first encounter with three cockroaches yesterday. While I was killing an enormous colony of red ants right on my back patio, three lightning fast roaches came out and quickly run up to the ceiling. I screamed like a girl, hurried Kingston inside and watched Chez and Josh kill the roaches. We got a flier in the mail also yesterday that showed us which bugs to watch out for here in the hot desert. One is the roach, another the black widow, ants, another type of spider, and most frightening (next to the black widow), the SCORPIONS! AHHH. I am so hoping we never run into one of those.

Aside from the bugs, we really are liking it here and we have a summer full of fun ahead of us. We just got a brand new patio set for our backyard, a swing, one of those above ground pools that is only 3 feet deep, and we are attending our third bbq/pool party this Sunday. Makenna is turning 1 in two weeks, Kingston will be attending an awesome preschool for the first time, we are (the Jones's) hoping to plan a trip to Disneyland here in a month or two, my birthday, 4th of July, and my parents and sister are coming to Visit me as well as attend my brother and his fiance's wedding here in Vegas in August. Fun stuff and I am excited!!

Happy Birthday Chez

Just wanted to say happy birthday to my cute husband!

We are back!

Disney World was a blast. We stayed at probably the nicest resort I have ever stayed at which is saying a lot since we stayed at a Four Seasons in California a few years ago. You could take a little boat from the boardwalk of the resort to Epcot or Hollywood Studios or a bus from the resort to the Magic Kingdom or Animal Kingdom. The resort itself at a really cool pool with a water slide that Kingston loved. You could see the fireworks from the boardwalk (our resort was called the Boardwalk), and there was all sorts of fun shops and restaurants all along the boardwalk. You couldnt get bored. The first couple days we went to Seaworld and the Magic Kingdom. We did Hollywood Studios on day 3, Epcot and Magic Kingdom day 4, Animal Kingdom day 5, and Magic Kingdom day 6. We flew home on day 7 :(. I hated to leave the most magical place on earth. Kingston had the time of his life. I literally got choked up when I watched Kingston meet all the disney characters. He was in awe. We took tons of pictures. Hopefully we will be going to Disneyland in a month. We only live 4 hours from LA. I think I am addicted to Disney! My little souvenier from the trip is actually funny. The last night, I rode thunder mountain with King and Chez. For those of you who know that ride, you know how crazy the turns are. I made the mistake of sitting on the end with Chez next to me. We went around a corner and his body slammed against mine and it was like a snap! crackle! and pop! Then OUCH!! It was quite painful. A week later, I am very sore but I will be fine. The X-ray came out normal! haha. But while on the topic of Thunder Mt., I must say, that was Kingstons favorite. While everyone watched the fireworks show, Chez and Kingston stayed on the ride and never got off for like 45 minutes. The workers let them stay put and go around and around!
