Back From Vegas!!

Well we made it back Vegas!! Unfortunately....We had the best time. It was over 80 degrees at the race. Which was nice...but a tad too hot for me.....Kyle Busch won the race...which was his first win in Vegas.

We did see a famous Rapper guy....i didnt know who he was, im kind of a country girl i guess. But there were all these people standing around a craps table...and i asked who it was. Jess says its Flavor Flav, and i said Flavornoid??...im like who is that. A rapper from awhile back i learned...he had a pick in his hair, and a huge clock around his neck....seriously....i would never walk out of the house lookn like that...but im not famous either...haha!

Jess and I gambled at one table for over 5 hours. We met the funniest people, and laughed and laughed all night long. I think we got back to the MGM at around 4 in the morning. We didnt lose too much money but didnt make any either. Oh well...had a blast anyways.

We went shopping at IKEA!! If you have never been to that store, you should go. It's amazing. I think we were there for over 3 hours. It was fun picked up a few items, and had swedish meatballs for lunch at the restaurant there.

After IKEA we had to check out the SEE'S candie place. Yummm....$31 later with over 2 pounds of chocolate....yep its gone already i ate my pound in two days....yeah the gym's not working so well yet...haha!!

Jess and I have a new found love of Iced Green Tea from Starbucks. I think its Kari's fault. I was waiting in line to get her a black iced tea when we were shopping and i tried the green tea and it was amazing....im really glad there is not a starbucks on our side of town. Starbucks Iced Green Tea, and Sees Chocolates are my new found loves....

We also go to check out the shopping at Kohls in Salt Lake. I love this store. I shopped some and tried on some clothes, while Jess waited patiently...its a miracle....he hates shopping.....I usually never ever try stuff on...but Kohls is along ways away to take something back...so nonetheless i tried everything on.

We had a long drive back to Great Falls, and reached our house after picking up the kids around 2 in the morning...it was a long day for me...but i made it.

I love Vegas. I do think Vegas Once a year is plenty.

Looks like we may be going to UTAH to watch the Jazz play basketball easter weekend. Jess and Michael will be going to the game, and of course Yoshiko and i will be shopping and visiting IKEA, and a starbucks im sure.....


Yoshiko's birthday party was fun. Lippy and I took her shopping at the mall. She got some clothes. We picked her friends up a lil later, and we all went to Bostons for Dinner. I have a few pictures but they didnt turn out very good. We ended up going rollerskating. I havent done that in long long long time...but i can still skate. Lippy made it around a few times...but it got crowded and that was enuff for us...people are just waiting to run you over there....The first song they played was a country song at the rink...yosh and her friends were freaken out...it was funny, i led them to believe that i requested country all night long....she was mad at me for about 5 minutes when a song she liked finally came on....it was quite funny....

Yoshiko also had a party with the family on her real birthday. Kari made her a cool cake. It was delicious. Im pretty sure its the best cake on this planet. She made out like a bandit this year...she is getting to the age she doesnt want presents just money. Which makes it easy for everyone....theres no shopping involved. She spent all her birthday money on clothes and shoes....which is great for me......Anyways...She says thank you to everyone for the presents...money and cards.

I can't believe you don't know who Fla Flav is you dork :) He's totally weird and crazy! That's kind of cool though. Hey there are worse things to be addicted to than iced green tea :) Yummy, I love tea. Glad you guys had fun and I'm glad Yosh had a good B-day. Thanks for the updates. Oh and I'd have eaten all the chocolate in a day too!
