More cute pictures






Happy belated 13 month day, Camden!


Camden turned 13 months old while we were in Las Vegas last week. Nana took this picture for us. What a cute little froggy!

Pictures from Daddy and Camden days






Over the past couple of weekends Camden and Blake had father/son days. The first pictures are of Camden in the plane on March 21st and the last few are of Camden at the racetrack on March 29th. That kid loves being outside!

What is it that they say about paybacks?

Paybacks are hell! And boy is that true today. Camden and Landry are both showing their rumps today in protest to A) the fact that I left them, or B) the fact that Nana and Chappy left them. They obviously both got used to being served by two people and not just one. I need to clone myself. It's almost 6 pm and this is the first time the house has been silent ALL DAY LONG! Maybe tomorrow will be better. And if it's not, at least I don't have to endure it alone.

Sick of comment spam


I've been getting a large quantity of spam comments lately. In an effort to try to avoid having to make my blog private I've enabled the comment moderation. When you guys post comments from now on they won't show up until I approve them.

Some Vegas scenery

I'm not real big on the scenic photos, but since I took some I thought I'd share them.

The courtyard at the Ritz with Lake Las Vegas in the background.



The view from our room at Wynn.


The pretty flowers in the lobby/casino area.


A snail with a rose shell at Bellagio.


A flower egret at Bellagio.

A scary tree at Bellagio.




And the best photo of the week:

Some dude driving down the freeway in a convertible with his windows up and a dust mask on.

Vegas, baby!








We had a great time in Las Vegas this week. We stayed at the Ritz-Carlton the first 2 nights and Wynn Las Vegas the last 2 nights. Both were beautiful hotels, and we really enjoyed being away from town part of the time and on the strip the rest of the week. It was a nice mix. The cab rides were much cheaper the last part of the week!




Jen and Frank were great and did a great job of showing us the parts of Vegas the locals enjoy. We had a lot of fun catching up with them.




The nastiest thing that's ever happened to me in my life happened while we were at the Venetian. Blake sat down at a blackjack table and I was standing behind him. The man at the table behind me turned around and sneezed a HUMONGOUS green booger on my arm! For real. It was horrible. I did the first thing that came to mind, which was to turn around and say "look what you just sneezed on me!" He was apologetic, but it didn't slow down his blackjack playing much. I would have hit the door had I just defiled someones arm with my nose. Gross. I'm still not over it, and likely won't be for the rest of my life.




We got home last night and were very happy to see the kiddos. I'm not sure that they really missed us, but we're pretending they did. Nana and Chappy did a great job with them, but they were pretty beat by the time we got back. Hopefully they're enjoying today's stormy weather from their bed or couch!


Now we start the process of getting back into our routine. Wish us luck!
