Happy Birthday buddy!

I totally forgot to post on Eli's birthday! My little bro turned the big 1-3 on January 17th! My mom now has three teenagers in the house again! All her babies are growing up! :) Love you buddy and I hope you had a wonderful birthday!

Viva Las Vegas!

Last weekend Ben & I went to Las Vegas with Tyler & Naomi. I am very proud of myself because I kept this trip a secret for about THREE MONTHS! Tyler planned the whole thing for his and Naomi's 1st anniversary and everything was a complete surprise for Naomi! It was SO much fun to surprise her! (Even though she does hate surprises:) We stayed at the MGM and had so much fun. We ate a lot of good food, did some shopping, watched Phantom of the Opera, and even did a little gambling! So a funny little story about the gambling...Ben and I gave ourselves a limit of like $10 that we could spend on the penny slots. So we start playing and not five minutes later I win $45! And on the PENNY slots! It was awesome. So yeah, I took that money and ran! It was just funny because I never gamble! We had so much fun hanging Tyler & Naomi! We hope to plan another couples trip soon! On another funny note - I had to go back to Las Vegas on Wednesday thru Friday for work and we stayed at the MGM. It was like deja vu! So I am definitely all "Vegas'd out", but I would totally go back for another show!
