Thanksgiving 2010

We had such a wonderful time in So. Cal this Thanksgiving. 65 degrees at the beach, sunny and family with us. Ahh....what a day.
My sister's family. The Lilomaiava's. Freddy, Leslie, Corbin, Sydney, Aubrey, Braden, Summer ( the puppy) and a mystery Lilo baby.
Freddy and Leslie at the Montage Resort. Beautiful!
My cousin Jason with myself and Leslie. Between us is just about 2 years.
Leslie and I and her cute baby bump. Can't wait to meet the next Lilo, arriving in February.
The sweetest Husband I know. It was so fun to be together at such a beautiful place.
Hunter and his cousin in arms.... Corbin. These are two peas in a pod.
Two crazy girlies. Hayley and Sydney. They are the best of friends.
It was so wonderful to get away from the freezing Cedar wind and snow. We are grateful to have such a beautiful and healthy family too.
Happy Thanksgiving.......Bring on Christmas.!.

My girlfriend Jennie and I, are the queen's of Midnight Movie premiers. This time, we were in line for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. (part 1) I was so anxious to get in line, that we were down to the theater 5 hours before it even started. Jennie is always prepared and even brought Hot Chocolate. Yummy! We took Hunter to his very first midnight showing, and we all had a great time!
Us, bundled up keeping warm. We were watching Harry Potter 5, and it finished just in time for us to go inside. They did let us in about 9 pm, which was great because it was FREEZING!!!
There was a terrible accident in the graveyard..........especially this first one. :)

Awwww...Hunt is such a great sport. He even sported a cute grim, I mean grin. Poor kid, embarrassed by his mom and her friend.
Out and about the little town of Godricks Hollow. Whew....spooky!
So happy to have good friends and family, to put up with my silliness. Who knows....Jennie may dress up next premier, so keep posted!

Vegas Baby, Yeah!

Brent and I snuck away this past week to enjoy some time in Las Vegas alone. We had a wonderful time, and even tried new things this time too! We went to the Las Vegas Boneyard, which house many of the old, updated, and dilapidated neon signs from Vegas' past. We wandered around for an hour or so, and just had a great time shooting. Here are a few.....The bending of the glass on the yucca plant was beautiful up close. Probably my favorite!
They say that an upside down horseshoe is unlucky, but I had great luck shopping. I'm only sort-of kidding! :)
Anyone remember this sign from downtown Cedar City? Yep, The China Garden. Brent grew up eating here. Not sure why it is in their collection though. Brent saw it in one of the Killers videos, and was so excited to see it again.
I just think this is such an awesome blend of angles and colors. Love it!
We stayed at the Trump Tower. It was absolutely amazing. Our room was on the 47th floor, and in the super elevator, my ears popped before we even got to our floor. It was very fancy, valet parking only (should have washed our Mormon wagon) a T.V. in the bathroom mirror, and a 4 thousand dollar mattress. (Yummy!!) We were glad none of the kiddies were with us for this hotel. What a blast!

Brent next to the new Bridge across the canyon by Boulder Dam.
Not my favorite pix of me, but the view from the Bridge to the Dam is amazing. You can't really tell you are on the bridge, so pulling of to the tourist area is a must. Gorgeous!

I am so grateful to have such a wonderful husband, who luckily enjoys doing what I love to do also. Love you hon!
