Happy Day Brandy!

Today my little baby sister, Brandy, turns the big 3 0

Yikes!

I am so lucky to have such amazing sisters!

She is a scrapbooker champion....

I think she takes the photo and has it in a scrapbook within 24 hours... unlike me who has is in the book... oh yeah...never!

She is the best mom to her two boys... Jace and Briggs!

She is married to a real hottie... Ryan!

Their wedding was glamorous...like a wedding on a soap opera.
She is beautiful and talented! My other sister Jody and I donated our singing talent to Brandy. It is better for one sister to sing REALLY well than for three sisters to kindof sing.
Happy Birthday!
30... wow you're old!

Why it is good to know people that know people... RBC ROCKS!

This is the man of the hour... RBC! He is the ultimate hook-up for a Las Vegas birthday. ( My birthday just happened to fall on the date that this little adventure was planned...he didn't do it all for my birthday...just a coincidence)

Our first stop was at the Mac counter so all the gals could get all hooched up for a night in Vegas... everyone had fake eyelashes and were looking great!

We started the party off at Tony & Tina's Wedding... a show at the Rio. It was like we were all guests at this big Italian wedding... Russ even hooked us up with a VIP table so we got bubbles and champagne... we traded it up for diet coke and all was well. The cast got wind of that and couldn't get enough of the fact that we were Mormons. By the end of the night Tina's mom said she was now a Mormon. I think Jared converted her...those pics will have to come later.

As we walked out of the wedding... Russ told us our ride was here... He hooked up a stretch Escolade Limo for our riding pleasure for the rest of the night. We were so excited... really a bunch of dorks on Prom Night!

Lots of flashes going inside the Limo... not so many outside. The paparazzi must have been riding with us.

We were even drinking the hard stuff... it was fully stocked with Diet Coke and Cider... Jared wondered if the Cider came from the Dicken's Festival... Mindi posing with the drink of choice.

We were checking out the sunroof...

Caylor even had an i-pod cord and he and Mindi were trying to get the i-pod jammin... no luck. Mindi had made a play list of inside joke songs and favorite sing-alongs. The only part of the night that didn't pan out perfectly!

Kamari and Steve Kemp... Colby and Kristen Cowan- always a good time!

Caylor had his party on face!

The Limo even had roses for the girls...

The one and only limo pose... once in a lifetime!

My man and I at the Wynn

After the Wynn we went to New York, New York to the dueling piano bar. We rocked out there for over an hour ...the people we saw...WOW!

It was such a fun night... good friends, good entertainment, good times!

Thanks to all of our St. George Pals for letting us join in on the party!

You guys really are the best!

The Clock is ticking...I am 38!

Today I am older than dirt... just call me Mother Time! I so remember that song..."Strawberry Wine" and the line that said..." and I remember when 30 was old." I do remember when 30 was old and now I am very close to 40. YIKES... where has the time gone? The fun thing about having a birthday during the Holidays is that it is one huge party... We are in St. George and headed to Las Vegas with our St. George cronies to party like rock stars. It is always a fun time with this bunch...so I am sure this mini-vacay won't disappoint. I did get a new camera for Christmas so I will try to remember to get it out of my purse for the photo ops. It is good to be back in the blogosphere... I think I will come back for good. Oh... and thanks to Mindi for the Birthday shout-out. I am linking her blog here so you can see how hot I look on my big birthday. Only these pictures were taken when I was really fat...enjoy! That Mindi... what a gem, what a gem!

Happy Day Jacks!

Happy Birthday Jackson! Today is my middle son's big day and I am going to celebrate him in blogland... YEAH JACKS! He is my most curious, intense, funny, sometimes really goofy, kind-hearted, orange lovin', athletic, handsome, SMART, Extraordinary 11 year old!
