st george, part III

on our last day, sunday, it was so wonderfully warm that we put on our bathing suits and layed out by the pool. and yes, even though not a word of it was said to my children, we got in the pool. i now have a nice tan glow about me. around 4 i told molly it was time to hit the road. so we packed up and followed eachother home, just to make sure the other wasn't harmed in any way.

this is a shot of molly and i stopping for some dinner at good ol subway, again i had to make sure we ate somewhere where there is a veggie option. we shared the veggie sandwich and it was good!!

i know that some of you are thinking what the H is this shot about?? well let me tell you, i have to go to the dentist today and i already know that i am going to hear bad news. i always hear bad news, no matter how much i brush, use special toothpaste, and floss...i ALWAYS HEAR BAD NEWS. so this picture makes me think of all of my feeling towards going to the dentist. that, and the fact that i have been watching ALIAS again (i mean i am obsessed all over again)! for those of you who have watched it you will understand. (my mom has all of the seasons on dvd)

st george, part II

first and foremost i must say this before i begin another st george story...

happy birthday BABY MOLLY, we love you and can't imagine life without you!!!

and now we begin our saturday story of life in southern utah. molly came down to the theatre room (where i was sleeping, nice and dark) and woke me up at 8:30. she was mad that she had already been up for an hour because of the sunlight in her bedroom. then, the three girls went for a run outside (this puts a lovely tan on your face) and it ended up killing us physically. we then got ready and were off to vegas.


we took a shot of us before we were leaving. in this photo is aunt dixine, uncle ross, grandma hoyt, me, molly, and nic. oh, we were so excited to get on our way.
we first went to these outside shops that were a ways down the strip kind of off by mandalay bay. let me tell you this mall is worth coming to vegas for!! it had this courtyard in the middle of mall that had a big old park for kids to play in and a water area too! and then the shops they had...oh, all the wonderful shops. we first ate some japanese food, per molly, she had to get her sushi on!! ps, we could have totally gotten nicole to drink some sake by convincing her it was japanese lemonade, she had no idea what sake was...don't worry we didn't. then we went to h&m, that store was so much fun and also where i spent most of my money. it was a wonderful place to spend some time (the picture was taken just outside of h&m). then we made our way over to ceasar's palace to walk around the mall there. we decided to stop in the casino and each play a dollar in one of the slot machines. the three of us sit down, put in our money, 2 seconds later molly yells "my money is all gone". nicole then says "i am up $1.40" which makes molly start yelling " CASH OUT CASH OUT CASH OUT". nic keeps playing and ends up with .40 cents. meanwhile i keep hitting buttons until it won't let me anymore and i have to cash out .08 cents. molly is now obsessed with turning in our reciepts to get our money. i throw away my reciept to which molly cries out"WHY, WHY WOULD YOU THROW AWAY 8 CENTS". i just look at her like she is nuts. we then walk into the mall and decide we are in too much pain from running to walk around and decide to leave vegas. as we are leaving we find a machine for nic to put in her reciept for 40 cents. it was hilarious, we are standing in line watching people cash out nothing less than $100 and here we are waiting for 40 cents. when we got back to st george we stopped and got food at in n out burger (heavenly) and molly ate cold left over veggie pizza (i made a joke about this that made nicole crack up, molly was in the bathroom and i yelled to her MOLLY HURRY UP YOUR PIZZA IS GETTING COLD, then i turned to nic and said I AM SO FUNNY and she is dying of laughter saying YOU REALLY ARE FUNNY).

what can i say, we all think we are a hoot to be with and completely enjoy eachothers company. i loved being with them all day long that day. and of course we ended the night sitting in the hot tub crying about our sore muscles.

st george, part I

so it seems that i do not put my mother in my blog enough...mom this one is dedicated to YOU! i left for st george on thursday night with my sister nicole with me. my children hugged and kissed me goodbye and tessa was more than happy to be left with her dad. nic and i hit a few snowstorms on the way down (happy happy joy), but we made it safely there. the next day we went running and then made my grandma watch marley and me. my uncle ross then took me, grandma,nic, aunt dixine, and himself out to lunch at red robin. my mom was waiting back at home for her old friend from las vegas to arrive (debbie). when we got back nic and i decided that we wanted to go see 17 again (i have discovered that my 6 year old and i have a crush on the same boy). we called molly to find out when she would be arriving, we ended up going to the 7 showing and having a good time being sisters. here are some shots from Friday.

my MOTHER, GRANDMA, and NICOLE

then i forced MY FACE in the picture

this is molly calling mom and saying that she needed to order us some dinner cause we were hungry after the movie...and they were supposed to wait for us!!
this is us waiting for our dinner...veggie pizza (molly is a vegatarian now)


grandma was left at home to be teased by her grand daughters. she was watching some stupid show on tv so i made her watch notting hill, love you grandma.
