Pictures from our fun Trip!

Thanks to Shaely and Cory for bringing their camera and capturing some pics of us on our fun trip!

Cory and Shaely in front of New York, New York

Inside the New York, New York casino, we found this statue completely made of jellybeans!

We visited the Rainforest Cafe's gift shop in the MGM Grand and they had some fun stuff there! Like this snake that looked pretty real, especially because the neck of it moved.

This is Tracy Tree at the gift shop and she talked- kind of like Grandmother Willow from Pocahauntus.

We went and visited the aquarium at the Silverton Hotel and they had a ton of these sting rays there and they kept swimming over by us. We had a ton of fun just looking at the different fish.

This is the Volcano at the Mirage Hotel. It goes off every night and the volcano is a ways from the street, but when it blows out fire, you can feel the heat really well!

This is Logan and I on top of the Stratosphere. We were holding Cory and Shaely's stuff while they were waiting in line to go on the ride. So we decided to take advantage of the time-since we had just gotten our camera taken hours before.

A belly picture- since I haven't gotten any yet! This is at 17 weeks.

This is at the Palazzo Hotel. I love the giant butterflies and went to look at what they were made of and Logan decided he liked them too and wanted a picture. OH, and they are made out of false flowers of all different kinds.

While at Fremont St., we watched a guy make this painting our of spray paint. It was really entertaining to watch and very cool looking after.

The trip ride home, we were tuckered out.

Thank Goodness for Good People!

Getting back from our trip created a lot of work for me and a lot more money spending for us than we planned on.

I went Monday morning to renew my license (thank goodness I turned 21 this weekend and needed to do this anyway!) and had an easy time doing so. I then headed over to our bank to close our account and open a new one. Then I ran home to get Logan the documents he would need to go get his license. As I was dropping off his stuff to him, I got a phone call and it was a lady from Cedar City that was looking for Logan. I talked to her and found out that she had picked up Logan's phone and wallet from off the street and was trying to figure out where to send them to return them to him. I was SO relieved! I can't tell you how awesome of a feeling we had that someone would take the time to pick those items up and try to return them!

I gave her the address to send them to and we are just excited that we don't have to spend more money trying to replace those things.

It's funny the impact that things like that have on another person. I know that as the person doing the good deed, you think, "oh, it's what I would hope someone else would do for me" but you don't quite understand the gratefulness and relief you give to others who have a weekend like ours. I can't wait to get the package and send the lady a thank you note!

So keep doing those things that might seem like nothing to you because you don't know the impact it could have on another person's life.

Spring Break and Las Vegas= FUN!

For spring break (and my birthday) Logan decided to take me to Las Vegas again. We loved going last time and had just as much fun this time! We went with Cory and Shaely and we are so glad we had someone to travel with! We drove down Thursday night and stayed at my aunt and uncle's home in St. George and loved visiting with them. Then we got up bright and early the next morning to head the Vegas. Once we got there, we drove down the strip to get familiar with where everything was and parked at the Luxor hotel at the south end of the strip. From there we walked down the strip and checked out a few stores like the Coca~Cola shop and M&M World. We even got to watch a 3-D movie at M&M World. We then checked out what shows were going on that evening and decided on a magic show.

Later that night we checked into our hotel and went to dinner, then the magic show. It was a small audience kind of low key but they had some really cool magic tricks that made even master magician Logan go, "WOW". After the show, it was dark and a perfect time to show Cory and Shaely how amazing the Belagio fountains were. The first song we saw was, God Bless the USA, and the fountain work on it was really breath taking. While it was dark, we walked down the strip to catch some other night performances live the Volcano but didn't make it to Treasure Island in time. So we headed back to the car and went to the hotel. We were all beat! We had been walking all day and were so exhausted we fell right to sleep.

Saturday morning was beautiful. We slept in, went and got breakfast and then went swimming! At 10am! It was so warm and we had a blast! Definitely got us ready for summer here! After swimming for some time we got ready and went to lunch. When we left the restaurant I realized that I forgot my purse in there hanging on the chair. So we went back immediately and it was gone. I was so upset! Not only was my wallet in there, but my keys (which had two keys to my mazda and they are about $75 to have made) and our new camera we purchased at Christmas time (that had all of our pictures on it, which is why you haven't seen any yet :) ). Cory and Shaely were good troopers for hanging out until we got all our credit cards and bank accounts straightened out and went to the police department to fill out a report. Then there was nothing else to do but to move on and continuing having fun. So we went back to the strip and went to the top of the Stratosphere- which is THE tallest building on the strip and anywhere close by- and while Cory and Shaely rode one of the rides they have up there, Logan and I enjoyed the view. It was like I was looking at a google map of the surrounding area, we were so high up, you could see into people's backyards and see for miles!

We went to a few other places on the strip that night that we wanted to see and then went to my birthday dinner. After dinner, we wanted to show Cory and Shaely the Fremont St. experience, so we went there and walked around for a bit and then headed home. We were also beat that night with all the crazy things that happened.

We woke up early on sunday morning and headed home. We decided to stop in Cedar City to take the sacrament and so we found a church and got there right on time only to find that the ward that was supposed to be there, had just moved to another building. So, we headed off. Just down the street from the church, Logan was getting hot and got out of the car to change his pants to some shorts and took his phone and wallet out and set them on the back of the car. He changed and got distracted by someone driving by and got right in the car. We took off and about an hour down the road, Cory says, "Logan, look up on your phone where the next church will be at around 1:00. (Logan has a smart phone) Then for the first time, realized that he didn't grab his phone off the car was kinda bummed. Then a couple minutes later, realized that he didn't have his wallet either. I thought he was just joking, but he wasn't and it was such a weird feeling knowing that you have basically nothing. So I started calling all of Logan's credit card companies to get him all squared away. I could not believe our luck.

We stopped at Jay and Emily's house on the way home for a break and it was nice talking to them. Then we headed the rest of the way home and were glad to get there even though I would have a ton of work to do the next day.

That was our spring break and I hope everyone had as much fun as we did, without the bad luck!

Spring Break Fever!

Well, I don't know about you, but I have Spring Fever. The off-and-on snow we got today was a downer from the last couple of decent days we have had. I am so ready to pull out my sandals and go on walks without worrying about freezing!

I know Logan has Spring Fever, he has just been ichin' to get back out and go riding on his dirt bike he bought this year. He just keeps talking about all the trips he's going to go on this summer and can't wait.

Speaking of trips, Spring Break has gotten Logan thinking. He and Cory came up with this great idea to road trip to Las Vegas this upcoming weekend. (Logan wanted to go mainly for my Birthday.) I originally asked to go visit my family, but since they are all going to be out and about, we had to change our visit to another week. This trip has us so pumped and we are just so excited to go visit there again. We really enjoyed our last trip there and can't wait!

Also, I have been busy to work on my crib bedding making and am almost finished already! I finished quite a bit sooner than I expected, but still have a few things left to do. So far I have made a couple sheets for the mattress and the bumper for the sides. So all that is left is the skirt and a blanket. The blanket I'm sure will take a bit longer, but the skirt should be pretty quick. I will have to post pictures at a later time of my progress. :)

It's Been a While

The last couple months have been very crazy for Logan and I. We went to visit lots of family during the Christmas season and it was at that time that Logan decided he wanted to go to school to be a dentist. So our plans quickly changed from staying in Utah to moving to Pocatello as soon as possible. We put our apartment up for rent and as soon as Logan got a job, he headed to Pocatello. I stayed behind for a few weeks to get things tied up at my job and hopefully sell our apartment. So when the end of January came, we packed up and moved everything to a storage shed in Pocatello. We are currently living with John and Cindy and have enjoyed our stay. We are looking to buy a house and have to wait for Logan to be at his job for at least 6 months before we can be approved for a loan. So we are waiting, driving mom and dad Thompson crazy!

We also found out during all this craziness that we are having a baby! I am currently 14 weeks along and we can't wait until we find out what we are having! I have already been going crazy on Logan about all the things we need to get and he has to remind me that we still have a while to get those things! So, as I have been looking at some items that we need to buy, I decided that I wanted to make my own bedding for the crib-that way I can keep busy instead of being a "Criminal Minds" junkie.

Anyway, we have loved being closer to family and being able to spend more time with everyone. We hope all is going well for everyone and can't wait for this summer's family trip!
