We're home!! Las Vegas was great....it was definitely over the top....We loved walking through all the hotels....They were beautiful!! We went to the top of the Eiffel Tower at the Paris Hotel and watched the fountains at the Bellagio... that was probably one of my favorite moments of the trip. The view was beautiful from the top.
We went to see KA Cirque de Soleil....Unfortunately, that was a huge disappointment. There was so much hype about the show, but for the money we paid, we wish we had done something else.
We also saw Jubilee, which is one of the oldest showgirl shows in Vegas....We enjoyed that much more than KA.
It's good to be home with our girls!! We won't be home for long though...We're leaving for Florida on Wednesday.....I can't wait!!

Hi from Las Vegas!! We're having a great time!! Yesterday, we spent the entire day at the west rim of the Grand Canyon.....It was amazing!! The views were magnificent....pictures can't do it justice....
The top picture is us at the skywalk....It is a clear platform that is suspended 4000 feet over the rim of the canyon....I was scared to death, but I made myself go for it!! I'm glad we did it...
there were birds flying underneath our feet... WOW! When you step on, it feels like you're stepping off the side because it is completely clear beneath you....Amazing!!
Today, we're going to Red Rock...I'm not sure what that is....but I'll post pics later!!

Ok please don't send me hate mail....I know maple cabinets are beautiful and many people think it's shameful to paint them........BUT, we were going for a different look in our kitchen.......so YES, we're painting and glazing our kitchen cabinets. New granite countertops are coming in the next couple of weeks (squeal!!).....This is a pic of our current kitchen.....I will update with new pics when the cabinets are complete.....


Having a great time visiting with my mom!!
