St. George Weekend!

We were invited by some friends to go to St. George last weekend.  WE HAD A BLAST!!!!  I honestly don't think I've ever laughed so hard for so long.  It was non-stop fun!  We stayed up till 3 a.m. or later every night and just went all day.  We drove to St. George Thursday night.  We stopped at Moochie's in SLC for dinner and then headed the rest of the way.  We had walkie talkie's between the two cars, so we were able to play a rousing game of "Would you rather" to pass the time.  We got to St. George around 11:30 that night and then we settled into the theater room for some conversation, some joking around and of course laughing!

We got up the next morning, ate at the Bear Paw Cafe and then headed to Las Vegas for the day.  We discovered we had the Moulon Rouge CD in our car so we had a sing along on the drive.  We are fantastic singers!  We went to H&M first thing.......and spent 2 1/2 hours there!  The boys were getting a little bored and this is what we found:

These guys are hilarious.  Male models in the making.  After our long shopping trip where I got a ton of great stuff, we headed to the Hard Rock  Hotel to eat dinner.  Dinner was delicious.  After dinner we decided we wanted to ride the Big Shot at Stratosphere.  Unfortunately, it was too windy, and the only ride open was Insanity.  We talked ourselves into going on Insanity (you hang 900 feet over the edge of the Stratosphere and go in circles!) and it took a good 30 minutes to do so.  We purchased our tickets and headed to the top.  We wanted to take a picture before we got into the elevator, in case it was the last picture we ever took (what if we died on Insanity!)

But when we got there, the ride had closed!  Bummer!!!  So we took the elevator back down and tried to tell ourselves we weren't scared in the first place.  Ya right.  I was terrified to go on the ride and slightly relieved when it ended up being closed.  We walked around the casino's and Paul tried to win $11MM on the slot machines.

Imagine our surprise when we didn't win. :)  We headed back to St. George around 12:00 and got home about 1:30. After a bit more talking, it was time for bed.

The next morning, the guys went golfing and the girls went for pedicures.  After we were done being pampered, we met up to do some shooting.  That was fun!  I love shooting.  Check out my stance, probably close to perfect (hee, hee)

After shooting we got some pizza and settled in for the night.  We played an extremely loud game of Catch Phrase, danced to the Kinect, and played a friendly game of cards.  It was close to 4 am before anyone was in bed.  That night was the funnest!

The next morning we woke up, stopped at In N Out for lunch and headed home.  The ride home consisted of singing songs, and reminiscing about the trip.  Overall, this was one of the funnest weekends I've had!  It was great to get away.

Halloween Fun!

Halloween this year was a blast!  We were invited to our friends house for FHE to eat homemade chili and carve pumpkins.  The chili was delicious and then we got down to business.  Mine and Paul's pumpkin carving skills were a little off, but our friend's and their two sons were incredible!  Among their creations was Lady Gaga and a scary dinosaur.  Very impressive!  It was such a fun night with wonderful friends.

  The infamous Lady Gaga!

 Getting our hands dirty!

All the pumpkins.  Mine and Paul's are the two on the left (we need a little practice). :)

Notice Paul's goatee.  He was growing out his facial hair for his Halloween costume.  We had a costume party at our house and he and his friend went as Magnum PI and Higgins (great show from the '80's for all you youngin's out there).  The costume's turned out pretty good.  My friend went as Richard Simmons and I went as a lady Sweatin' to the Oldies (another '80's thing.....excercising).  It's too bad you can't see the writing on the shirt because I time stakingly wrote, "Sweatin' to the Oldie's" on it. :)  The party was a hit and we had a ton of fun!

The next day was the best day because Paul FINALLY shaved his mustache.  He wanted a picture of it so it could be remembered forever.  I'm just happy to have my clean-shaven husband back.
