Vegas Day Two-12 hour day

Day two in Vegas and we are still alive!

We left our hotel room after some pool time at 11:10am to start the touring. We returned to our room at 11:05pm (all Vegas time). I'm pretty sure we did about 8 different attractions. Ate at two different unique places. We saw some sharks and dolphins.

We went through the following hotels/casinos: MGM Grand, New York, New York, Excalibur, Mandalay Bay, Mirage, Luxar, and ended at the Bellagio where we saw the water show out front too! The amount of money spent to design these attractions is crazy to even think about. They are all so unique and overwhelming. We did gamble at each of these places and we shopped too.

My feet are sore and we are tired, but we had a blast! :) According to Larry's pedometer, we walked 13.7 miles today! Ahhh!!

At Mandalay Bay, I won almost 25 bucks, but total down $33. Two days of some gambling and I'm ok with that.

Today I am thankful for being able to see all the awesome Vegas Hotels.

Vegas Day One

We have been awake for 20 hours! It's been a day of travel! Even though it's only 1016pm here in sin city, my butt is already in bed!

Today we arrived in Vegas at 940am. We ate some lunch, picked up some food at good 'ole Walmart, and did some touring.

We got familiar with our MGM Grand Hotel. We ate at the Rain Forest Cafe after checking out the poolS!!

Our gambling probably should improve. I am cheap. Very cheap. I lost $5.00!! in slots today! Ahhh! Think Josh lost $20!

Today I am thankful for day one in Vegas!!

Day off

Today I am thankful for a good productive Saturday. I guess that depends on what you call productive. Productive to ME today, meant some time in the sun!! It meant breakfast AND lunch at Panera. It meant a visit with both my grandma's. It meant cleaning out my car. It meant a trip to Kohls. It meant babysitting my awesome niece Paige so my sister and brother in law didn't have to pay a sitter...this meant a swim trip to the Oliver's! :) Paige loves the water. It meant dinner out with Josh and it meant cleaning my house!! :) even the toilets.

Even with all these productive things, I managed to pack my suitcase for Vegas baby!! :)

Today I am thankful for a Tonya productive day!

Wrap up

Tonight we wrapped up our softball season with root beer floats after Michelle Leavitt's open house.

It was a bitter sweet day. Last day of work before we take a week vacation. Michelle's last 'school' function. Abby and Michelle's last school softball season end party (tear). And the ending of another fun softball season.

It was a nice evening as all the parents and grandparents showed up for a final night of support. Awards were fun to pass out. All the girls and parents were in good moods. Lots of smiles and some tears.

I appreciate all our parent support this season. They were wonderful.

Afterwards, Donna and I both received scrapbooks of memories throughout the season. Love them. They make me cry every year.

After that Josh and I headed to Outback to close out the season and celebrate our first night of summer with Scott and Julie Oliver.

Tonight I am thankful for a great ending to our softball season and an evening with our friends the Oliver's.

To Do List

Today I got to actually leave work at 3pm and do whatever I desired.

Today I had to complete my 'To Do List'. It consisted of 20 things that I needed to complete before tomorrow softball awards night and before we leave for Vegas!!

I left work and circled all over Jackson checking off items left and right. Wow did that feel good!!

I even picked up dinner for me and Josh too. I am thankful I was able to get my to do list completed.

Little League Softball

Tonight after a meeting, I ran by the high school to check out some little league (5th and 6th grade) softball. I knew many of the girls on the rosters. I even saw some alumni coaching and in the stands.

It was nice to see the girls loving the game and the fans so supportive. I love little league softball. :)

Spring Cleaning

Today we wrapped up our paperwork and end of the season stuff for softball. Pretty much the boring stuff, but it's gotta be done.

I asked the girls to help really clean the pressbox. I just had to get our stuff organized It had been neglected for quite some time. Totes, totes, and more totes!! It looks good and I feel like I finally know where all our 'stuff' can be found!!

Today I am thankful for my girls helping me clean our press box!! It looks great! Thank you for your help!
