Mom gets married in Vegas

Last week my mom and Mike came to Vegas to get married. They stayed at the Excalibur (the cool castle hotel where Miss M thinks princesses live). My little brother and his wife Emily made a surprise trip in from ENGLAND for the wedding. We all got to go swimming in the pool which the kids loved. Also, Mom, Emily and Deanna and went to a yummy Tapas (spanish appetizers) bar called Firefly for an early dinner and then to Ka - a cirque de soleil show at the MGM the night before the wedding. The wedding was also at the Excalibur, but Mom and Mike chose not to wear the knight and princess costumes. We had great wedding cake - cupcakes from The Cupcakery and they were delicious! Thanks Deanna for posting these pics on facebook. I will probably post more on here after Emily posts hers because our camera is broke... the flash doesnt work so everything is blurry. We need to by a new one.. if anyone has any suggestions on what kind to get, please let me know!

After the wedding, all us kids went to the Bass Pro shop. The girls love to see the big giraffes and lions. Well this was the visit where Miss M learned that all the animals were all alive at one time, roaming the earth and they had been hunted and stuffed.. and put on display at Bass Pro.... Well she thought a lot about this, and then we found her hugging this mannequin kid and talking to him... turns out she thought the mannequins were all once alive and had been stuffed to model clothing. I explained to her that they had always been pretend, and she was very happy about that.

  1. Hey there!! Congrats on all the happy wedding news lately.

    Where in England are your brother and sis in law? Billy and I have been in Lakenheath for about 7 months. We are expecting our 2nd baby after 7 1/2 years of trying. It is a baby boy.
    Can't wait to get caught up.
