So Randon has 5 sisters, plus 1 sister in law that I love spending time with. They go on a sister's trip every year and they are kind enough to let me tag along. This past weekend we went to St. George and on to Las Vegas. It was such a blast and so nice to get away. However, this was my first time leaving Easton. It was only three days, but I missed him so much! We headed out early Saturday morning for St. George. Here we have Chantel and Niesha shoved in the backseat.
There we had lunch and a pedicure...always a favorite!
Then we got settled in our hotel and got all dressed up to go to dinner and to Les Mis at the Tuachan. All the restaurants had a long wait, so here we are all dressed up to eat at...Panda Express! High class! (Niesha, me and Chantel)
Les Miserables was awesome. Loved it. Master of the house for shizzle. The next morning we headed to Vegas to the outlets. Now one thing to know about these sisters are that they are pro shoppers! After many shopping trips with them, I've been exposed to how its really done. Like 10 hours straight. With out eating I might add. Haha. Very fun though and very efficient. Then came my first experience of Vegas downtown. I know, I'm lame. Never been. Definitely a new experience! We made our way to the Rio hoping to indulge in their famous buffet, but we were too late. However we did get to see a few gentlemen from the Thunder Down Under passing by and stopped to pose by their posters...haha.
And here is Chantel with the only money won in Vegas - won by default. Money jammed into a broken machine that wasn't hers but the guy said to keep anyway. Sweet!
Casinos are kinda lame people. I looked out everywhere and saw people throwing their money away left and right. Sorry to any gambling addicted readers. And sometimes walking past the drunk half naked people with the music pounding I thought, hey... I kinda feel like I'm on a tour of the Great and Spacious Building. Haha. Jk. I just kept my focus on trying to spot any of the Ocean's Eleven. No luck. Lots of fun and laughs for sure. We were starving so we found a burger joint at the Rio to eat at. Very hungry + very tired = a little crazy. Here we have Shana with a nickel and a pickle. Soooo funny when we took the picture that night. Its what sleep and food deprivation does to you.
The next day we hit Caesar's Palace which is pretty amazing. Then we went looking for lunch at the Grand Lux Cafe, which should be at the Luxor, right? Haha. No. Of course its at the Venetian. We had yummy food there before we headed out for the long drive home.
This is Chaylece, me and Niesha...
...enjoying one of many thousands of diet cokes consumed throughout the trip.
And the beautiful Nola, Chantel and Shana doing the same.
Such a long drive home, but luckily we found a random huge rocking chair to mix it up and add a little fun.
It was an awesome trip...so much fun! Even though we didn't get home till 4 am Tuesday morning, it was all worth it! Thanks for letting me come girls, and Happy Birthday Nola!
...and my version. My ghost looks a little sickly.
They actually turned out cute after taking forever and the poor kids were screaming for more attention. And now I get a grave yard of ghosts waiting to dry on my counter. OOOoooo Spooky! 
It was a really fun day, and we might try another craft, perhaps a simpler one. Martha is just too crafty for me. 
Got the picture enlarged and sent to my house all for $5, courtesy of Costco.com. The frame was actually an old chalkboard my mom didn't want. I refinished the edges, painted the blackboard and decoupaged the picture on. Cheap and easy! 
I finally found the fabric I wanted for the bench and was all for stapling the foam to some cardboard for sturdiness. My mom and Randon informed me if anyone sat on it like that they would get a staple in their bum. So I had to save up for some plywood. No more staple bum. 
I found this clock for a good price but I didn't like the face on it. Once I had the idea of making my own, I was determined. I got many eye rolls from my beloved as he watched me tear the clock apart. Seriously it took me forever. Randon was sure he would be the one putting it back together. Nope. Did it myself. Unfortunately it doesn't tell time as it should anymore. It ticks and tocks but the hands remain motionless. Ack! And I already want to change the face again. Sigh. 
Cheap frame from Ikea for my bedroom. I like the collage with all the little moments I treasure, but there must be an easier way of arranging and and gluing without messing up the arrangement. Took a little long for a special soul such as myself. 
And is anyone excited for Halloween/Autumn? I AM! 
I got this apothecary jar at Walmart. Okay I went a little crazy with the ribbon. I love to see Randon's reactions to my projects. "Wow...thats...a lot of ribbon for a...jar..." He just doesn't get it. I want to get a couple more in different sizes. Gotta love a project.
