Vegas

We left for Sin City on Thursday morning and had a blast. I will try not to make this post too long but I do have tons of pics.
On Thursday morning I took Tyson down to Nana and Papa's and it was so sad saying goodbye to him. I couldn't help but cry when I left it was so sad. The drive down there wasn't bad. I got a call from Haas on my way down and he was trying to get his vest extenders from his friend and was trying to jump his fence since he wasnt home. He climbed a ladder and jumped over and landed on a rock. We didntknow until yesterday but he did break his ankle. So when he gets some down time from work he will be having surgery. : ( Anyways back to Vegas.
We rolled in at about 6 and my sis in law Erin was in town for business so we hooked up with her for dinner. We went to the Rio for dinner they have an amazing seafood buffet and yummy black cherry lemon drop drinks
We went to Vegas for the Las Vegas BACA chapter's patch party but since no one was arriving until friday we naturally decided to gamble since thats our favorite part. We did pretty well and ended up a couple hundred up that night. YAY!!
The next day we got up and went to get Haas some new shoes since his ankle was swollen and hurt to be in his boots so we went shopping for the morning then met up with Erin again for lunch before her flight left. After we went back for some more gambling!!! Again we did really well and Haas made bank at Craps. We decided after winning $800 that we should stop while we were ahead and we took off to the movies. We were staying at Sams Town and they had so much to do there including their own movie theatre so we saw Couple's Retreat. I thought it was funny and it was a good way to kill some time. After that we went to meet up with our BACA friends and meet the rest of the BACA people that were coming in from different states




The next morning we went on a Poker Run with all of the BACA brothers and sisters. At one of our stops we were so close to Hoover Dam that a couple of us took off to go see the dam before meeting back up with everyone



After a morning and afternoon of riding we were ready to hit the strip for a little site seaing. We started off at the Mirage and went to the Secret Garden and Dolphin sanctuary. They had a new baby dolphin and beautiful lions, tigers, panthers, and a gorgeous snow white tiger



Then we were off to the Bellagio to see the fountains!!!


I was pretty ready to go back home when Sunday came around. That was the longest that I had been away from my lil guy. Its no secret that I have a hard time on long trips in the car especially since I rode by myself. Once I got back and saw my baby boy I broke down into tears. That was a hard trip but so much fun. I am so glad to be back but Im glad that we were able to get away it was very needed. And we came back with more than we went down with. You just cant beat that. Next time though I think that we will have Nana and Papa come down with us so Buggy can be with us too.

One more thing. Please pray for the Johansen family. On the way to Vegas Pete got into an accident and passed away on saturday. Please pray for his family during this difficult time.

Big Week of Accomplishments

This has been a big week for Tyson. He now has 2 bottom teethHe can sit up by himself for a couple minutes
and he can pull up on his hands and knees and rock back and forth

Pulling a Kanye

So Im going to pull a Kanye because I personally was upset about some of the Emmy winners tonight.
I was in complete shock that the winner of Best Male Lead in a Drama didnt go to Michael C Hall in Dexter.
His character is dark and moody. At the same time you cant help but love this serial killer. You cant help but fall in love with this serial killer.
I also really thought that Dexter should have won best Drama.

or my other choice would have been Big Love
Oh I love these shows and theirnew seasons are starting up soon. Maybe they will earn their Emmys next year.

I also saw that Tyce DiOrio won an Emmy for his Garden of Eden choreography but I was shocked that an Emmy wasnt earned for the breast cancer dance.
Anyways that is my Kanye moment for tonight.

Tyson's 6 month pics

Random pics

We got these cute pics of Tyson this weekend that I had to share because he is so cute!! I realise that there is a big wetspot on his pants its not pee. He had just gotten done eating and he spit up and I had cleaned it up because I didnt want to take his cute outfit off. He is also sporting his Braves outfit from his aunt Erin and uncle Jason. He is getting ready for his first big trip to Atlanta!!!!
And last but not least I finally found what has been driving my Berkeley girl crazy everyday

Swimming

Last wednesday Liz and her little mini me daughter Olivea came out to go swimming. This was Tysons first time swimming and I knew that he would love it but it was even better than I imagined. Once he got in the pool he completely relaxed and just chilled out in the water. He would lay on his back and belly and let me float him around. When he was on his belly he kept trying to drink the water BLAH. I didnt get any pics of him in the water because well I was in the water with him. I did get these cute pics of Tyson and Liv in their suits before we went and pics of Tyson afterward. He is so cute!!!

last couple weeks

I havent posted for a little bit but I do have some pics to share. A couple weeks ago I took my brother and sister and Tyson to Discovery Gateway. When I was looking for things to do I found Discovery but the website looked like it was for younger kids. So I went to trusty facebook and asked if other peoples kids liked it and everyone said that they did, so we decided to try it out. When we walked in the lower levels was definitely for little kids. After about 5 mins Savannah came and said that she was bored. I was panicking thinking that they were going to be unhappy and I was going to try to figure out something fun and cheap to do since I had already paid for us to get in. Once we made our way upstairs it was a whole different story and they had big kid things to do. We were there all day and the kids didnt want to leave. They loved "being on the radio" playing "newscasters" putting on plays and building everything that they had. They also liked the life flight helicopters that they had outside. It turned out to be great and Tyson was so well behaved.
