Just a little trip to Sin City

Yep, we went to Las Vegas with Ryan's family to play for the weekend. Ryan's sister owns a house down there, so we stayed there for 2 nights and at the Mandalay Bay for 2 nights. We pretty much just hung out at the pool the whole time. We ate lots and lots of food, did little shopping, and of course rode the New York, New York roller coaster. Me and Amy BG are the only people that did it and it was sooooo fun! She even got a free ticket from some lady in line and of course I didn't take a camera.
At the pool at the Mandalay Bay we rented a Cabana for the day, it was awesome shade for the kids, it had a flat screen tv and free drinks. Although Jack wouldn't even hang out in the cabana, all he wanted to do was play in the water. And 3 full days in the sun, we didn't even get sunburnt, just tan, the Vegas sun must be magic.




Jack and Bebebebebe Max (this is what he calls baby max) hanging out in the cabana. Jack had just woken up from his nap and was grouchy, if your wondering why he's wearing socks, he won't sleep without them.

Back Again

Sorry, I know I was missed but we have been super busy with Ryan graduating and trying to find a job. As of today, it looks like we will be going to Idaho Falls. Ryan had a pretty sweet job offer there that is just 3 days a week. That's what I'm talking about, more play for us :) But anything could change in the next few weeks, so we'll see. We went to the cabin after an informal second interview in Idaho Falls, it's only an hour away, SWeet!
This kid is a champ on the balance bike, he can hold both of his feet up and cruise. His cruising got so fast we had to invest in a helmet ASAP.

Teton N.P. where we had just seen a bear.... awesomeness.

Then we did an 18 mile bike ride to Teton Canyon and up towards Grand Targhee. I volunteered to pull our tanker child. Let's be honest, with no running and 5 days a week of spin class, I had to show Ryan my skills. Oh and don't be jealous of all these Teton views.

Hopefully I will be more consistent with my blogging in the future, but probably not.
And by the way, I get to run for an entire 12 minutes straight tomorrow! I can't wait! Slow and steady with lots of walk breaks are doctors orders. It's actually quite the particular run/walk schedule, for example I run 12 minutes, walk 2, run 12, walk 2, run 12. Then each day the running increases and the walking decreases. I would hate to re-injure my leg, so far I'm being compliant but it's so hard to hold back when I just want to run my guts out. Ryan refers to me as the caged beast! July 16th can't come fast enough for my first race, post injury. Tin Cup Half Marathon here I come!
