Yep! I turned 25....I totally feel old!! Biggest milestone turning 25 brings is renting a car....Wahoo!! I just can't wait to go out rent myself a car, NOT!!

I did however get to celebrate my big 25 by going to Vegas!! Now I have discovered the meaning of "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!" but somethings are just too good to leave there so here is what I brought home from my fabulous B-day celebration in Vegas.....

We were supposed to leave Friday early morning but we were all too antsy on Thursday so we decided to head out that night. This is Heather at one of our potty breaks...do I even need to explain? LOL


We stayed the night in Cedar City so the next morning I was able to go to the bank to see all my old friends. I was so dumb and didn't take my camera in but it was SOOOOO good to see everybody!! A lot has changed since I was last there. It was so nice to be able to hug old friends and catch up on old times and share with them all the new happenings in my life as well!! It's so nice to be able to go back and see those familiar faces and feel the love people still have for you after being away for so long. I miss you all!!!

Then off to Vegas we went...



Probably my most favorite pic from the whole trip!!

Probably doesn't need an explanation but I'm going to give one anyway... We are going about 85 miles an hour on the free way and Heather gets a great idea to poke her head out the sunroof while I take a pic AND drive at the same time!! I know, I am so talented ;)




Our amazing room at the Tahiti Village Resort.

First night in Vegas....

Tahiti Joes known for the best Pupu's in town. We later found out pupu means appetizer in Hawaiian.

Found these beauties in the amazing outlet mall!!

Look in my left hand...that's right these 3 beautiful ladies bought me a COACH bag for my B-day!!! I could not believe it!! Thanks ladies!! As if agreeing to be stuck with me for 5 days wasn't enough!!


One of our good friends just so happened to be in Vegas getting married this night so we were SO lucky to share that with her. Congrats Amy!! You looked so beautiful as always!



After the wedding we went to New York New YorkAmy's first time on the roller coaster!

We were the ONLY 2 on the roller coaster screaming!

After the roller coaster we decided to go check out Coyote Ugly....Total disappointment! It would be a fun place if you were looking to drink and watch half dressed ladies dance on a bar....we were not interested in either so we decided to check out a club called Rok. It was a pretty fun club, but we were all feeling pretty stiff the next day!


Day 2....

The 3 of us got up to go to Madaame Tussuad's wax museum while the other 2 recovered from the night before :)

We decided to just walk from one end of the strip to the other and just stop along the way if we saw anything.

We went to the Coke factory and tasted all the different kinds of floats. Cherry Coke is yummy!!Then we walked down the WHOLE ENTIRE strip to get to the wax museum and along the way we found this creature.....Um Ya....That's HAIR!!! I could have sworn a rodent was going to come crawling out of it!!Which ones are wax?
Pictures really do tell a story LOL!!
Hef's new ladies!! Bye bye twins hello hot Utah girls!!
Heather with her man Tim!!
#13 or #14 or #15 whatever number he's at!


Then that night we got to go to Phantom of the opera!!
SO GOOD!!
I am seriously going to it every time I go to Vegas from here on out!! I could go on for days about how much I loved it but I'll just tell you, if you go to Vegas go to Phantom. Pay the extra cash for a close seat!! Oh and a really cool story. We had pretty good tickets but they were more towards the back and an usher came up to us and asked us what we were doing in Las Vegas so we told him celebrating my birthday so he asked us if we wanted to sit closer, no extra charge!! Heck ya we did so guess where he puts us?!?! 4th row it was so freaking awesome!

Even the staircase up to the opera house was amazing!

Eating at the Cheesecake Factory after Phantom.

Um ya..I guess I didn't get the black memo ha



Last day.....

She won $100 on a penny slot on Freemont Street!Total MILFs
The famous pawn shop from the T.V. show Pawn Stars. We love that show in our house!

We had searched the whole time we were there for a piece of jewelry or something that we could buy to remember this vacation and we all decided on a pearl.

Picking out our oysters.
We all chose the same pendant but we all had a different color and size of pearl so it was really neat.
Girls, I had so much fun with you. I cannot imagine my birthday being any better. It means so much to me to know that you are there for me! I have not laughed that hard and for 5 days straight EVER!! I didn't even know it was possible. I truly do have the best friends a girl could ask for. I don't know what I did to deserve you in my life but I am SO glad that you are a part of it!! I love your guts forever and I can't wait to celebrate again next year!! WOOT WOOT!
The celebrating continued when we got home and I'll post pics later!!
