Las Vegas 2008

Vegas here we come. We went to Las Vegas with Clint's family for our Christmas present. I was so fun. I love going to the National Finals Rodeo and we haven't taken the kids so we did this year and they loved it.
We made it to Mesquite before the rest of them. Clint and the kids had fun running around the water fountain acting just like kids.

WNFR we went to the rodeo on Sunday night just us and the kids. Eli loved it he couldn't wait to see Cody Wright he asked Clint about every 5 minutes if that was Cody. Our pre-show entertainment was Brooks and Dunn , that was cool .

Eli watched so intently.
Kristy Lee Cook sang the National Anthem. (she was on American idol)



Here he is Cody Wright. He signed Eli's old hat and We have been following him this year i think that is why Eli likes him so much
In all the years I have gone to or watched Rodeo. (witch is most of my life) I have never seen this. A calf carried off on a stretcher.


They had great entertainment this year. They had this coach and the horses preformed awesome. They had a tribute troops and people from all branches of the military came out and Lee Greenwood came and sang God Bless the USA. That was neat. When we all came in the building they handed out flags to all of us and to see all those people standing waving their flags was so cool..

The next night we went to the tournament of King dinner show. We have all been before but it was fun to take the kids.
Brecken and Pazley being silly

All the kids that were there except Bridger he was in the stroller.

The fam before the show

We were in the Norway section.


After the show some of us went to the M&M factory. Eli didn't want to hold anyones hand but Breckens. Poor Brecken got smothered by my kids Pazley and Eli wouldn't leave her alone.

Time spent at the Hotel. Circus Circus has so much stuff for the kids to do.


Eli acting like he was Cody Wright riding those bucking horses

No body slept that well in Vegas and like i posted before that Eli didn't have his binki he was fighting his sleep on the way home. He made it all the way to Parowan before he crashed and we even stooped at Costco.

The calf on a strecher is not all that uncommon they just try to hide it from you! ive seen it 3-4 times down there and they always try to redirect your attention to something else and i might add they are quit sneaky

Ya i know it happens and i know they dont talk about it, because of all the people that will cause drama over it...
