Mommy is currently enroute to Michigan, so I am having a sleepover at Aunties!

I love it when a real life stats activity works out how it is supposed too! You can tell which one of these two pictures looks like the correct one yes? It worked! AP Stats has been kicking my butt, but every now and then something will take shape and work out like its supposed too!

Doing a little Stats activity to start the short week.

On our last day in Vegas we hit up the M & M store. Breslin got to choose 4 colors of m & m's that he wanted. He chose regular green, dark green, pink and red! Breslin (and mommy) had a blast in the m & m store! Sad to leave Vegas and fun full days with Breslin. Back to the grind tomorrow (for three days, then off to Michigan to watch some MSU football and see family and friends).

Still on vacation.... still in Vegas.... still trying to keep these two entertained :) Breslin playing Peek-a-boo whatever on his Ipad, while Oma is checking out the pictures! We are going to find out soon enough if Oma checks out this blog still!!!!!

Check out this funky monkey... After 15 minutes of screaming because he didn't want to take off his jammies, we finally got him to calm down by setting him on the table and having him play with my spartan glasses... he did have both sunglasses on at the same time at one point!

Monday's are Gymboree Days! Today we were pretending like we were butterflies flying and jumping around! I think mommy had a little bit too much fun with this today! Something about walking around and waving our "wings" really appealed to me!

Caeser's Palace. You can tell Breslin really wants to be there :)

The newest Cirque Du Soleil show in Vegas. Michael Jackson-One. As always it was a great show! Love is still my favorite, but One was very entertaining! Loved being able to see it with my sister.

Saturday June 22, 2013

Oh My! It was so crowded at the pool at Treasure Island, Las Vegas.

Friday June 21, 2013

Oh yes, we are dorks. Mom's will be mom's no matter how old you are. And mom's will continue to embarass their children no matter how old you are. We went to the MSU Dairy Store after a full day of zoo-ing and MSU apparel shopping. Christina and I decided we should go because we had only been once to the MSU Dairy Store and that was at our freshman orientation at Michigan State. It is probably the best ice cream you will ever have (and let's be honest, I have had a lot of ice cream to compare it too! MSU, being an agricultural school, has probably some of the best dairy around). Well anyway, not only was it our second time there, it was my mom's first time! I can not believe we call ourselves MSU alumn and have only been there once or in my mom's case no times. So what does my mom do, like any other embarassing mom... she pulls out her camera to document her first time at the MSU Dairy Store!

The family (minus Allan) celebrating Austin's graduation from Haslett! Congratulations bud!

Hannah, Breslin, and Teagan. My favorite little people in the whole wide world!

Only coming back home for five days we had to cram in a lot of things to a short amount of time. So each day we did about two big things. Today we headed off to Anna's house to play with Hannah and Teagan. They are all so adorable. Breslin has surpassed Tea in height, continuing to be a super tall toddler, but Teagan and Hannah surpass him in smarts (hahaha). In the evening we went to Ukai (a japanese steakhouse) to celebrate Austin's graduation. Today was the type of day that truly made me miss living in Michigan. I got to see almost all of my friends and family out here. Our family is so tight knit that it is a struggle to head back to California without them, and my friends, well it is just fun to see our kiddos hanging out with each other. Even though they are so tiny and young, they all know each other's names when they play, and will talk about each other when they are not with each other. I can not wait until the next time they get to meet up!

This was Breslin's first trip to Grand Haven. It was slightly chilly in the a.m. but once the fog lifted it was an absolutely gorgeous day in "Pure Michigan."

Doug, Kim, Breslin, me, Grade, Caleb, and Brady. My old time coach and long time friend Kim lives in Grand Rapids, so on our way back from the beach we stopped by for some catching up and some fabulous dinner! It is always a good time seeing them. I can't believe how fast her kiddos are growing!

Monday June 20, 2013

Thousands of miles between us, but we can meet up with the Williams like we are still next door neighbors and have a blast! (Michael, I love the skinny arm girl high school pose)!

Night 4: Tonight was about to be the best night of musicians, but there was a darn storm looming in the distance so each performer had to cut their set down in half (and poor Jake Owen only sang one song). The artists for the last night of CMA Music Fest 2013 were Gary Allan, Brad Paisley, the Band Perry, Jake Owen, and Carrie Underwood. Although the night was cut short we had an unbelievable time.

Thank you to Karen who told us about the CMA Music Fest. I can see this becoming an annual trip! We had a blast!

Day 3 of CMA Music Fest.

There were 10 different stages all going on at the same time. This was the Bud Light Stage where Parmalee performed. They were amazing.

After being cooped up in an airplane flying to Nashville we found this park for Breslin to play in. This park was funded by Taylor Swift after the big floods that hit Nashville a few years back. She came in and helped purchase all new equipment for this playground that had been all underwater.
