Las Vegas or as Cruz would say....Lost Begasst

Mommy and Alegra at Circus Circus
Crus at Circus Circus

Shawn was in Irvine California all week working. He left on Sunday afternoon and didn't return until late last night. He was doing an audit in the Irvine office and then at night he was busy working to get a grant submitted that was due by yesterday. To say the least, he was working LONG hours to get everything done he needed to.
Grammy, Kelly, and Alegra. We all had a blast hanging out with Grammy!
Like Father like Son.....Cruz had to go to this motorcycle video game and sit on the motorcycle for like 10 minutes!

My mom got a screaming deal sent to her by the Wynn Hotel and so while Shawn was gone we decided to go to Las Vegas from Tuesday until Friday. We drove down Tuesday afternoon. Part of the deal was 2 tickets to La Reve, the show playing at the Wynn. My mom went to the 7:00 p.m. show and I went to the 9:30 show, that way we could both see the show, but one of us could also be with the kids.The show was amazing and totally worth the drive down. I used to go down to Vegas in college and even when I lived in California a couple times a year, and I have to tell you, Vegas is a lot different with kids. It was still fun but definitely harder. The Wynn Hotel was beautiful and it was nice to stay in a really cool, modern hotel. The pools were pretty and the food was good. We swam at the pools, went shopping a little, and went to Circus Circus (for Cruz). I had never been to Circus Circus and it was crazy. Cruz loved it. They have an indoor adventuredome that had rides and games. Cruz had to play the dart game (where you throw the dart to pop the balloon). He loves that game. He rode the Merry-Go-Round and an airplane ride. After about an hour in that place we were all frazzled though, loud, lots of people, lots of germs, and just kind of chaos. Alegra was so good the whole time. She just went along for the ride. Cruz, well, I have to say, he is definitely 3 and we are having some power struggle issues. I LOVE Cruz to pieces but right now is a hard stage. He could be such a little stinker and then turn around and be so charming and cute! Anyway, I know they all go through it, I just have to remember that.


Grammy holding Alegra....I was probably trying to get Cruz to talk in a quiet voice at the time in the hotel room. That kid has the loudest voice and it seems amplified in a hotel room at 6 in the morning!

I have to say we got lots of attention from everyone at the hotels, etc. as I walked through the casino with my double stroller, everyone thought my kids were so cute, and I have to agree! :)
