iphone pictures

I was flipping through my phone yesterday while I waited for my allergy shot and noticed that I had some cute pics that I had taken of the kids with my phone, enjoy...

Bryan enjoying corn on the cob

Shortall basketball team


The kids got "laptops" as their gift for being good for daddy while I was out of town last week...apparently they've seen Patrick and I laying on the floor with our laptops so they decided to do the same!

At the dentist...we've been taking both kids every six months since they turned 1 and this was the first time that neither of them cried! They did soooo good and their teeth look nice and healthy!!

(Isn't actually a phone pic but I had it saved to the phone after a friend messaged it to me...Bryan enjoying a snowcone with his friends at Pre-School!)

Emma's soccer party- of course she would spend half the time admiring the trophies on the table!!

Annual Girls Trip!!

Last week I went Las Vegas with my four best friends (Sara, Sarah, Ashley and Beth) from high school. It was sooo much fun and sooo good to see everyone!! We have decided to take an annual trip somewhere and take turns planning the trip (and keeping the location a surprise until a couple weeks before). I was first to plan and though Vegas would be fun, and I was right we had a blast!! Cannot wait to see what Sara plans for next year!! Sorry the pics are in reverse order...

Our last stop, the Mirage for the Volcano show!
Ashley and Sarah sharing some awesome ice cream sundae with fried oreos from Serendipity!!

We saw this super funny show, or rather we participated in a super funny show, called Tina and Tony's Wedding. It's an interactive dinner show where you are actually a guest at Tina and Tony's Italian wedding! Depending upon where you sat in the ballroom you saw a different part of the show. This is a pic of the brother of the bride (Yes, I said brother) leaving the wedding in some heels he picked up!

Pregnant bridesmaid who waddled the whole night!


At one point in the night we looked at the empty table behind us to find a bridesmaid and groomsmen getting it on under the table!

Brother of the Bride re-applying his lip gloss!

Groomsmen and Groom doing the YMCA (and yes, as guest you could get up and dance on the dance floor with the "actors"...and yes, we did plenty of dancing!)


Ex-boyfriend of the bride, talked with Sarah for like an hour!!


More dancing!


The ballroom...if you are in Vegas and looking for a show go see this, it was SOOOO FUNNY and SOOOO MUCH FUN!!


We have a tradition of taking leg shots (we were all athletes and thus thought we had awesome legs...and I guess we really do!) This is the ONLY one we took the entire trip, but it turned out cute!


Bar that we had drinks at before the show.

Elevator pic!

Sad to realize that the sun had gone away when we tried to lay out for a second day, oh well it was still beautiful weather!!


Hanging with the Blue Man group at the Venetian

Bus picture!


We found this super fun slot machine at the MGM, it was the game Deal or No Deal...we were pretty loud when we played and at one point noticed that a group of about 20 people had gathered behind us and were watching...we sure know how to draw a crowd!


Washing off our feet after walking miles on the strip in our flip flops!


In high school we had a knack of finding fun things to take pictures with...I saw this while we walked through Caesar's Palace and knew we needed a pic. We stopped some guys to take the picture so we could get everyone in, little did I know they didn't speak English, but it was fun trying to explain to them how to work the camera!





Hotel we stayed at!

Fountains at the Bellagio...think we watched it four different times- so cool!

Inside the Bellagio

Freemont Street Experience in Downtown Las Vegas...so cool to see all the old casinos!

Sara and Sarah showing off their cheap beer samplers




Another bus pictures!



Laying out at our hotel pool!




Pretty ladies on our way to mass...yes, we are the good Catholic girls and found a church to go to mass at on Sunday
Sara's first win on the slot machines
