Weekend Getaway

Trevor and I went to Las Vegas for the weekend. We left on Valentines Day and stayed over night in Trevor's grandparent's house in Paragonah, a small town about half way between here and Vegas. We had the house to ourselves and it was really nice. On Sunday morning, we drove in to Vegas and spent the day walking around. It was a little chilly, but we had a great time. We went to M&M world, which was way too busy, we gambled a little (and won about $100), shopped, and went to a concert at night.
Trevor was so great and drove the entire way- there and back.

The sunset was beautiful on the drive down.

The house in Paragonah

This is the hotel lobby at the Bellagio.

Our room at the Bellagio. It was a gorgeous hotel and the nicest room we have ever stayed in! We would definitely stay there again!


Hanging out at Margaritaville

There was a really neat garden in the lobby

The water show at night. We were able to watch the last three shows of the night.

Leaving...we wanted to stay another day, but we had to get back to school and work. It was really nice to get away, even if it was a short trip.

Valentine's flowers from my wonderful husband

A balloon flower also came with my Valentine's Day gifts. :)

Aunt Karolin, Uncle Greg, Luca, and Quinn came to visit from California this past weekend. We don't get to see them very often so it was really fun to hang out with them. These pictures were from Valentine's day. Trevor loves his cousins... and they really loved Jersey! Notice how they put a crown on her and made her walk around on the leash with it on. I'm not sure Jersey enjoyed this, but she was a good sport.

Luca and Jersey playing in the snow. He would throw snowballs for her to chase -or just throw them at her :)


Quinn, Karolin, and Jersey playing

Jersey loved having someone her about her size to play with

Mardi Gras...in Utah

Hillcrest High School has a Mardi Gras performance every year. Music is played by the band and jazz band, dinner is served, and there is dancing for anyone who wants to participate. This tradiation started my senior year in high school. We did the first Mardi Gras show... not such a hit! It had grown each year and has become a tradition in the Harris family. This year was Mitchell's final year (he is Trevor's youngest brother).
