CHILDREN'S DISCOVERY MUSEUM
The Children's Discovery
Museum was rebuilt here in Las Vegas and Carlee and I decided to check it out one
afternoon after Kindergarten. It is in a beautiful building next to the new Smith Fine Art Center. It was fantastic and we hope to visit more often.
HOT TUB AND SHAVED ICE
We enjoyed a warmer evening playing in the hot tub and eating Sno-Cones. We are getting anxious for summer!

AMANDA'S BABY SHOWER
I hosted a baby shower for my friend, Amanda Stewart. She has been
waiting and waiting and waiting to have a baby and we were so excited
for her to welcome her new little bundle of joy. She is having a boy
and had his name picked out before he was even growing, Holden.
I served dessert waffles with lots of yummy toppings and we played games
and opened gifts. She is a great friend and is going to be an even
greater mama!

IN HONOR OF Q
It is now the time in our lives when we are approaching a new decade
in our birth years. Several of our good friends are turning 40 this year and we
decided to celebrate these important days with a bang! These friends
are pretty amazing and we have spent many years with them through
medical school, residency, church callings, raising kids together,
carpools, dance classes, sports teams, moves and transfers, and just
depending on each other. Marquessa is one such friend that I
absolutely adore and respect. We surprised Marquessa with a girl's
night out, sleepover downtown, and a shopping day. We
met for dinner at Grand Lux Cafe on Friday night. The food was delicious and we enjoyed
visiting and reminiscing with each other. We then did some shopping at
H&M and other stores around the Venetian and Caesars Palace
before turning in. We stayed in 2 rooms at the Venetian Hotel and
stayed up late giggling, talking, eating dessert, and giving Marquessa
her gift, an Origami Owl necklace. We each picked a charm that reminded
us of her or our relationship with her and she loved it. It was the
perfect gift!

HORSEBACK RIDING LESSONS
I bought a groupon for
horseback riding lessons and Katelyn has enjoyed every minute of it.
Her lessons have been at 7:00 in the morning so that she could squeeze
them in before school but she was very dedicated to it for two weeks.
TAKE YOUR CHILD TO WORK DAY
The kids decided to stay home with me for "Take Your Child to Work Day". That may be because Joe had to be in the operating room and that wouldn't go over very well with four little observers watching him. We cleaned the house and then headed out for lunch and cupcakes from Retro Bakery. They did such a great job and we had fun cranking up the tunes and dancing while we cleaned. It is so nice to have motivated helpers!
HIP-HOP WITH NAPPYTABS
Katelyn had the opportunity to take a hip-hop class from my favorite choreographers, Tabitha and Napoleon Du'omo. I have watched their work on the TV show "So You Think You Can Dance" and was so excited for her to learn from them. In fact, I was pretty jealous!
There was some major paparazzi going on through the windows of Bunker Dance Center as the mothers watched their children learn the dance moves of NappyTabs.
Katelyn and Mia got their autographs and pictures with them after the class
