Lake Okoboji Part 1

Best gift ever

I was supposed to work on Mother's Day and was luckily drawn to be cancelled. I was surprised with Starbucks, doughnuts and roses from Jason and the girls. Then given all of my special homemade gifts. We went to my sister's for some fun in the sun and then to my in-laws for mexican food and margarita's.

Prescott

Great times up in Prescott this weekend for Madelyn's soccer tournament. The weather was great and the company even better. All the girls on the team are so sweet and they just played their little hearts out. It is sad that the season is over. When we started the season we did not even know if she would like it. I think we love it just as much as she does. We met some great families and hope to continue as long as she loves it! We had some time in the morning to go into town and walk around. They made candles, hula hooped and played with goats. Nothing like a small town! Here are some action shots of Madelyn kicking the ball. The one of the team sitting on the bench is funny because they were told to "visualize" what they were going to do in the game and this is what they looked like.

Vegas

This past weekend was our 11th wedding anniversary and we went to Vegas to celebrate. My parents came and stayed with the kids so we had no worries about them having a great time. We stayed with his roommate from college Mike and his wife Elizabeth for the first two nights and then at the Venetian for our Anniversary. We got the VIP treatment when we went out to the clubs and restaurants because they knew all the right people. No waits, no covers and even reserved areas to be while we were there. We did not take a lot of pictures because we were just too busy enjoying ourselves with no agenda. We did not gamble alot, but the one time I did sit down to use the $20 my dad sent for me to put in a slot for him I won $75. Then Jason said put one in for us and I won $150. That was fun. He played a little poker and we dabbled in some other games here and there. We are so thankful for this time to "reset" and just enjoy each other. You know it's good when you can be in Vegas and feel like the only two people there!
