Celebrate!

Jeremy and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary yesterday. We went out to dinner just the two of us.

Today we are celebrating something new!

Baby Johnson is expected January 13th 2011. Lentil as we like to call him/her is seven weeks along and has a strong heartbeat!

Shoppertunistic

I love Kohl's! Remember when Jeremy bought our new Stainless Steel Pots & Pans for Valentine's Day? Well we spent enough money to get $30 on Kohl's cash. That combined with another $15 Kohl's cash voucher(thanks Tami) got me one of these, completely free!

That is right, a Panini Grill! Now that is what I call Shoppertunistic.

Nascar!!!

The main reason we went to Vegas was so Jeremy and his Dad could drive a Nascar at the Richard Petty Driving experience. They have driven them once before in celebration of Bart's 50th Birthday. That time they drove 30 laps behind an instructor. This time they drove 80 laps and we able to drive with other students in a formation. Tami, Greg, Tiffany, and I were able to do ride alongs with a Professional Driver. It was awesome!

It was super windy and COLD!

The jumpsuits you had to wear were lovely! As was the helmet that was too large for my head.

Don't we look special

Greg was absolutely thrilled about all the pictures

Dinner @ Hank's

Dinner at Hank's Fine Steaks & Martinis is always a must when visiting Henderson, NV. It is THE best Steak House ever! I'm not a huge fan of red meat, but I love a petite filet from Hank's. Medium rare, of course! Unfortunately, the night started off with a crash. While waiting to be seated, Jeremy ordered a round of drinks for eveyone. Clumsy me, I knocked the bottom of my MIL'S glass as my brother was setting it down. This resulted in the glass falling out of Greg's hand, hitting the Granite table, and shattering everywhere. My MIL ended up with a cut on her finger, and the drink all over the 3 of us. Not my proudest moment. To make matters worse, when we asked the hostess for a band-aid, she informed us that Hotel Security would have to come with a first aid kit. We were seated and security finally arrived. They insisted on taking pictures of the wound, having Tami, who mind you was still bleeding, fill out a 3 page accident report, then finally bandaging the wound. Which they did a horrible job of. How hard is it to put a band-aid on? Apparently too hard for a security guard with blue gloves on! Once the security guard finally left, we had a wonderful evening. The food was amazing as always.

And the Haut! He unfortunately was not invited to dinner. He dressed up for it, but no Kitties allowed!

Hoover Dam

While we were in Vegas, we took a trip to the Hoover Dam. I have only been there once, 3 years ago on the way to my Grandpa's Funeral. We drove through the area, as it is the only way to get to Arizona through Southern Nevada, but we didn't have time to stop. This time, we went specifically to tour the Dam.

Greg, Jeremy and Me. We were all so thrilled to take this picture!

The Dam wall. The tour was pretty amazing. The Tour Guides however were too much. I have never heard a person get so much enjoyment out of saying the word dam. "I'll be your Dam Tour Guide... If you have any Dam questions... " were just a few of the phrases we heard over, over, and over again. My Dad should become a Dam Tour Guide, it would be right up his ally.

Humor

I think this is my Husband's idea of humor. Throwing his socks in a pile in front of the hamper, instead of inside. Hilarious.
