M&M's World-Las Vegas

While we were in Vegas, the boys wanted to go to the ESPN Zone at NY NY. As girls, of course we weren't all that interested, so we went with them to eat some dinner, then left for an hour or so to go walk down the strip. We didn't really know what to do, and we didn't really have that much time to walk too far, so...we went to M&M World which was right across the street from ESPN Zone. We had no problem spending the whole hour in that 4 story store! I never knew they could have that much M&M memorabilia. They have over 28 colors and kinds of m&ms that you can make your own bag from so I was going to get a bag for Kasen until I realized that it was $9 for a lb! Kasen is almost 3, he doesn't know the difference between a $9 bag and a .50 cent bag, so I opted against the lb bag! But as you can see, we were being silly and having a good time. It's nice to just act like a kid sometimes, like I said....I love to laugh!

Riviera Comedy Club

Our first night in Vegas was fun! We went to a buffet at the Mirage, which was pretty tasty. Then we got free tickets through the timeshare company to go see a comedy show at the Riviera Comedy Club. There were 3 guys and the show last about an hour. It didn't start til like 1030 pm. so we were all pretty tired by then after the long drive that day. The first guy had a few funny things to say, the second guy was absolutely hilarious (a little crude, but still funny) and the third guy was funny, but not as funny as the 2nd. We all were laughing so hard, we were clapping and our cheeks hurt after the show from smiling so much. How can that be a bad thing? I love to laugh!

Is it asking too much?

I have decided that no matter HOW hard I try, and no matter HOW many pictures I take, I will never get a picture of Jeremy with his eyes open AND a smile on his face as long as the flash is on! His cheeks are a little fuller, and his eyes are pretty inset, so when he smiles, his eyes squint so far that his eyes just CLOSE! Here are a few out of the 20 pictures I took. LITERALLY 20, and not one single pic turned out!! (This was in our hotel room in Vegas)

My new "DO"

I have been wanting a drastic change with my hair. It's so thick and really hard for me to do it when its long because I just get WAY too hot and it just takes WAY too long. So...I chopped it! I got 8 inches cut off. Can you believe it? 8 inches! I am still getting used to it, but all in all I think I will like it, A LOT!

Here are the changes:




What do you guys think? I got it thinned quite a bit too so it wont be so hot, or poofy.

1+1=2

Kasen had his first day of preschool today. I can't believe it. He is almost 3. Crazy. I know that he still has some time before he goes to kindergarten, thankfully, but today was so weird to go drop him off. He had such a good time, but I think his favorite part was wearing his cool new backpack that my parents neighbors gave him. HE LOVES IT! He wants to put anything and everything in it. It's cute. Here are a few pictures of Kasen before preschool this morning.





He is so excited to go back on Thursday. He keeps talking about how he got to finger paint and play in the water. How fun for him! I am glad he enjoyed it!

Baby Drew

My sweet sister Alison had a baby on 8/22. They named him Andrew Keith Bergstrom. They call him Drew. I am so happy for her and the family! I can't wait to meet him. I still havent met my 2 year old niece Abby. Hopefully I will meet Drew before he turns 2! Congrats to my sweet sister and her new little man! I am proud of you for all you did to bring this baby here and into the family!! I love you Ali!

Scrapbooking

I cannot express to you how MUCH I love to scrapbook. It is so much fun for me. I get to use my creative outlet, but best of all, it's something, like the only thing, I am good at. I always think if I were to try out for some talent show, like Americas Got Talent, I wouldn't have anything to physically show for. I can't sing, I can't dance, by no mean am I flexible. I don't mime, I don't balance, I don't juggle or change my clothes quickly. I have had a really hard time lately thinking that I wasn't good at anything. That I wasn't blessed with any talents. I was only thinking physical, of what my body could do. Until recently, when I realized that scrapbooking is my talent. It's something that I have a total passion for, and something that I can always improve on. My pages are not by any means the best, but they are good. I am not trying to brag at all because I don't like it when people do that, but I guess I am just trying to say that....just because people don't have more common talents like singing or dancing or playing an instrument, doesn't mean we don't have talents. Each of us do. We all are good at something. I know its hard when we run into those people who are good at everything it seems, but they struggle in their own areas. If you don't know what your talent is, please let me know and I guarantee I can make a list for you. In fact, its a challenge. If you don't know of your talents, please let me help you recpgnize them. It's a feeling of great worth when you recognize your talents. I hope that wasn't a lot of babbling, and that I actually got my point across.
