I must admit I have been a boring blogger lately! It's not because I haven't wanted to update you all, but I have been very busy since spring break. Okay, well not busy but playing more like it. I have been to Las Vegas to Pullman, Washington. I am so excited to tell you all about my adventures. First let me start by telling you that when spring break finally rolled around my best friend and I headed for Viva Las Vegas to play!
I got to escape for a whole week with no children in tow to enjoy the wonderful life of Vegas. The funny thing about this trip is that we were so excited to get to shop that we could hardly wait to get there. Natalie (my BFF haha) hasn't been to Vegas since the new strip has been built and since I have I couldn't wait to get her to my favorite place CaesarsPalace. Once we were there we were so scared to go into the stores, because there were about four security guards dressed in all black suits scattered around the store. So, when we came across a store that we wanted to go into we would first count the security guards and the ones that we didn't dare go in we just took pictures outside of the store. I know we are dorks!!
Now don't panic I did venture into Jimmy Choo, Louis Vuitton, and Dolce and Gabbana. I did however not have the guts to go into Tiffanys the wonderful and most fabulous jewelry store ever. One other stop that we made was to FAO Schwartz where I ran across the creatures of my favorite movie..............
You guessed it HARRY POTTER!!! They have ever stuffed animal in the Harry Potter books available. I had died and gone to heaven until I walked around the corner and had a flashback to my childhood. Let me show you the picture first and then I will explain. 
You're probably thinking the Smurfs sparked a flashback? Let me tell you that I almost started to cry because this is one childhood toy that I would of died to have. Julie had every single one of them and do you think she would let me play with them? The answer is NO! I was so excited but was put into a state of shock because I didn't know that they still existed. I wanted to buy every single Smurf and run home to play. The last stop on my Vegas adventure was of course the M&M factory. I love this store and as a few of you know I love every type of M&M made! 
There you have my first week of going missing in action. I was out playing with my pals. I hurried home to get my children back into the swing of things. School was back in and baseball was right around the corner. I must take a minute and brag that Tanner is the starting pitcher and Tyler is the starting first basemen on their teams! I couldn't be prouder. Anyway once they got back to their dads I headed out of town again with my other friend to Pullman, Washington. We went down to see Elton John. Yes, I know I am spoiled but that wasn't the only reason we were going.
That was just one of the perks of going. We really went down to Washington to go meet up with some friends. Let me just say that I had my eyes open to a whole new culture experience. I was the one that was the minority and I didn't like it one bit. I was however the only one that was uncomfortable with it. I did get to enjoy many of things like a step show, which is where they battle other fraternities, sororities, and step groups in the community.
Here they are practicing the night before. I must say that this experience was one of my favorite. I can't believe the talent that these boys have. I would of never of been able to do it. Unfortunately, their biggest rival beat them. I must say that I got to enjoy many of new experiences. I was sad to leave but happy to be home. I am now home and studying for finals during cold long baseball games. I hope I didn't bore you all too much!
