Girls trip to Las Vegas 2022

A bunch of girls I went to high school decided, while we were all at Kelli's baby shower, that we should plan a girls trip..somewhere. My friend, Laura's family, owns a house in Las Vegas, so we threw out some dates and made it happen. Lodging is so much easier when you have a friend who has a legit house somewhere!

This picture was before a show we saw, Absinthe. This was my like $11 club soda.
After the show we went to different casinos to check them all out. Here we are at the Cosmo.
Group pic, we were all supposed to wear leopard print this day. My earrings and scrunchie were, but being 16 or 17 weeks pregnant, I didn't know how things were going to fit, so a black dress it was!




We had dinner at a French restaurant, that was delicious. Had to get a cappuchino to keep up with the ladies all night.
We rented a cabana at Tao. It was the perfect day to just lay out, not too hot, not too cold. 

Detour of Branko playing his favorite game, peek-a-boo, with his fork.
It was super nice the day we got back home from Vegas, here is Branko playing with his water table for the first time. Since it's been almost 4 months since this photo, he sure has grown a lot! Those shoes no longer fit him, those shorts are actually shorts on him now, and he has to bend over a little bit to play in the table!

Back to vegas pics, we were the first to arrive. The rest of the crew didn't arrive until after midnight.

More pics from Tao.


A random girl who was telling these two how to pose in a picture-shoulders back and make a triangle with your legs.
Here is our attempt..
We went to the casino after being at Tao all day, some of the girls wanted to play roulette-I think? The dealer told Dana she couldn't eat at the table, so he was messing with her and made her sit very, very far away.



"Hennything is possible" a quote that we sang for the rest of the trip.
You can't tell, but this dealers name was "Branka"

Patrick door dashed us donuts for breakfast. They were so good! Best reviews in vegas.
Taylor won $300 on this machine!

Shortly before she won, I won about $500!

Some of the girls insisted on doing a photo shoot before dinner. Such a little bean at that time!



More cute Branko content...
Snacks and water during his ride.
Grandma and Grandpa like to spoil Branko with normal size ice cream cones!
Back to vegas again.. Little did we all know when booking this trip, we'd all be pregnant for it! From left to right; Missy-due a week after me-Nov '22, Mary Bryn due late Nov '22, and then Taylor due end of Dec'22! We were joking in our group text, who else is pregnant..then Taylor goes-me! With so many sober drivers, we rented 2 cars and saved lots of money on ubers. I've gotta say, Vegas is very easy to drive through with lots of free parking-who would've thought?

A little bit of life in Feb/March

  Someone got into the red paint post bath.. Fun trip to the library This wall had them entertained for a while Conrads a bit more of a nurturer than his brother Get in m belly! Farm fresh eggs from Taylor! Branko has been a huge super hero lover these days. He has 6 stretchy small super heros that I actually got for Conrad for valentines day. The material its made out of gets full of lint and hair, so Branko gives them "baths". Playing with the outdoor lights. There was a crazy storm one night and Branko set up Hulk/Ironman in the window to watch the storm with him. I thought I had a picture of it, I guess not! Pics from school :) Our photo frame is always a big hit with the boys Panera (or First Watch) with Grandma Conrad is so proud of himself getting the coins in the piggy bank A normal night in super hero capes and Conrad climbing on the end table/couch My oldest is getting too big to carry :( Enjoying a rare solo bath Culvers, yummmm Enjoying the spring air! Conrad is n...

 On Wednesdays, Branko has daycare, leaving me with the two younger boys. To be honest, having all three of them is easier than juggling the younger two by myself. Conrad is at a tough age right now where he wants all of my attention and gets aggressive/jealous when I need to feed or hold Michael. On this particular day, we needed to get out of the house, so Conrad led us through Target. He ran away twice, which was fun chasing him with the doona stroller. Thankfully, it wasn't busy! I hate the running away phase! We also went to my favorite coffee shop. Meanwhile, Branko learned about trains at school and was excited to go to his mama's house as his destination. Michael has started to be more alert these days. I just LOVE his eyes Superhero brothers! Our neighbors who live behind us babysit for us sometimes and this particular day Carsen was on spring break and lent a hand on a Friday where it was me and all three while Patrick was working. She played with the older boys and h...

Disney World and baby #3!!

Both boys fell asleep as soon as we landed.... in Orlando. We waited for everyone to get off the plane before waking up these sleeping beauties. We started the trip out rough, I was super sick with no energy the day before we left and Patrick had the same symptoms the day we left. I think we may have had Covid after hearing what other people's symptoms were after we got back. I didn't want to bring their car seats, so we booked a bus to take us from the airport to our hotel. NEVER AGAIN! (at least while the boys are this young). We waited in the airport for the bus for an hour and a half. Recipe for disaster after waking up early, driving to Midway airport, being on a plane, waiting in line for the bus, and then sit on the bus to get to the resort. It was a lot and not a great way to start the trip. We'll get a car rental next time. Yes, we thought about an uber, but they only have options for 1 carseat. We stayed at the Contemporary Resort to be on the monorail and close t...
