Update/Trip to LA

Not much has been going on really.  We have

been working hard and going to school, and when we are

not doing either of those things we are spending time with each other and our cats.

We are still slowly fixing up our house and making it look nice, which

has been at times a headache but we still enjoy making it ours.  I've been lucky with getting some great deals at Dillards on things that go perfectly with my designs for the kitchen and living room.  I got two great pillows for 8 dollars when both were originally over thirty dollars; they look great on

our couch.  I'm in two photography classes this semester and they have been

really fun so far.  One of them more challenging than the other but so far

I've done excellent on all my assignments according to my teachers, which is

 usually a good sign. Also, several weeks ago Tim and I decided we needed

a break from work and school so we decided to take a little vacation/trip to LA.  

It was really fun.

Well here are some pictures and words in no particular order of what's been going on.

This is Mr. Kitty he lives on our porch and we love him.  He is the sweetest cat.  We don't know

where he came from but he pretty much stays on our porch all day and just waits for

us to come home from work each day. He always wants to be held and in return he

gives very slobbery kisses.

This is Mr. Kitty's sister we think. She isn't around as much as he is.  

She is also very pretty and very playful and loving.  Really hope

these cats don't belong to anyone else, I would feel bad.  I would think

if someone lost their cat they would post something around the neighborhood.

Anyways they like us better apparently or else they wouldn't stay on our

porch all day.

Here is our mischievous Baby Burlious always getting into things

then jumps on the couch and acts all precious like he hasn't

done a thing.  Haha he is one funny cat.

This is Little One.  She is so sweet and obedient. She loves to play all day, and

she thinks that every blanket is hers.  If we leave a blanket unattended 

she will bite it and start dragging it to her room.

Okay now for our trip to LA.

Last month we decided to go to LA just for fun.  We stayed

in the Roosevelt Hotel, which is said to be haunted by

Marilyn Monroe.  It was really beautiful inside and our room was really

nice.

We walked down the walk of fame and went to the wax 

museum and had some fun taking pictures.

We also got a tour of the Kodak theater where all 

the celebrities come for the Oscars.

I got my picture taken next to Johnny Depp's Hand and shoe prints.

We went on a tour of celebrities houses, and down town

Hollywood.

We also went to the Ripleys believe it or not museum and

the Hollywood historical museum. 

We just relaxed and had a good time. 

Well thats about it for now, hopefully I will get better at posting

more frequently.

Isabella's Baptism

Here are some of the pictures from Isabella's Baptism.

She is getting to be so pretty!

Here are some of the family and of baby Tessa.

Easter!

So for Easter Tim and I decided to let family come over

and see our house and have a meal and such.  I'm pretty sure everyone

had fun.  There was an easter egg hunt for the kids which

was really fun to watch.  We had a really good meal.  I cooked my first ham

and it turned out just fine haha.  Anyways here are some of the pictures

I took.

Kitchen

Our kitchen is pretty much finished except a corner of the ceiling needs

to be painted and our microwave is going to be mounted in the spot

above the stove, but other than that it looks great.

Here are the before and after pictures.

Yeah so thats about it.

Vegas!

Last week for spring break Tim and I went to

Vegas for a couple days just to get away and relax from work

and school.  It was really fun, and the weather was

in the eighty's which I love!

We stayed at the Luxor which is a big pyramid and I've been

wanting to stay there because I love Egyptian stuff.

This is a view from just outside our room.

This is the outside of the hotel.

This is one of the statues inside the hotel that was really cool.

Monday we mostly walked the strip and went into the different hotels and looked

at the different shops they had. 

This is the statue of liberty made out of jelly belly's it

was pretty cool.

Tuesday we went to see the Titanic exhibit, which was

really amazing to see all the artifacts.

We also went to the Bodies exhibit.  We went to it when they

brought it to Salt Lake but we decided to see it again, they had

some different things that we didn't get to see the last time we went.

They always have a big bin for people to throw away their cigarettes 

after actually seeing what it does to your lungs and other organs.

After that we went to the Shark Reef Aquarium.

I liked the Komodo Dragon I didn't realize how big they

were.

I don't know what kind of shark this is but it is really cool looking

Later we decided to walk down the strip the the Fashion Show Mall which is

huge.

Then when it got dark we decided to walk back so we could see

all the lights on the strip.

We got to see the volcano erupt at the Mirage.

The fountain of Zeus lit up

The fountain show at the Bellagio

The M&M store

 New York, New York and MGM Hotels

ExCalibur Hotel

Finally a picture of the Luxor lit up

We both had a good time and It was a good first 

visit to Las Vegas for me. Even though I went when 

I was really little, I don't remember a lot from then.

We got to see and do a lot in two days and Wednesday

morning we ate a great breakfast at the Luxor cafe and

then flew home.
