Our mini vaca.

So pehrson had a dental conference in Las Vegas last week for SPEA (student professional ethics association) They meet with other dental schools from all over and talked about how they can make things better in school and later in the workforce. I tagged along and spent some time with the other wives lounging by the pool and shopping at the outlet stores.

I really don't think they can get much cuter than this!

We stayed with our friends Tanner and Cami in their beautiful home. And meet their cute new baby Wyatt. Then we went up to St. George to visit family and stay with Pehrson's Aunt and Uncle in their beautiful home. They have 4 boys and 1 girl and their house is always full of neighborhood kids. I love it. I hope my house is like that someday. Just a bunch of rowdy kids running around. And their oldest cousin Pehrson was there to wrestle with them, which they loved. HA.

Our time in st. george was perfect it was relaxing and i got to be with pehrson 24/7. We went on a couple of hikes. Our first one was to snow canyon. It was very pretty and very bizarre they had red rock, white rock and lava (black) rock. Like what you see on the big island but its in the middle of st. george, Ut! But it made for some nice pictures.

look at that face, he was loving it!

Beck LOVEs to drive the car and daddy loves to play tricks so this is what it looks like when you combine them together.

Are you sick of pictures yet? Well i have some more so stick with me (if you want). That night Aunt Jenny offered to watch Beck while Pehrson and I went to see "the Help" (LOVED IT) when i went up to pay, the ticket lady said okay thats $12. And i said for two??? I was shocked. It was awesome. California is a rip-off. P and I only go to the cheap theater here cause it just gets to pricy. But $12 for two at night. It made the movie just that much better. Then the next day we decided to go to Zions National Park. It was the first time for me, that i remember. And it was a beautiful day, the views were breath taking. The first hike we did was "the narrows" we never did any research we just thought this one sounded like a pretty one. And it was! But we got to the beginning of the water and saw all these people putting on dry suits and huge water shoes. We decided we would just go and see how far we could get. The water was cold. But it was so pretty. We reached a point where the water was waist deep and that's where we turned around. So next time we will come more prepared. But it was still worth it none the less.

After the narrows. We decided to do another hike called "emerald pools" which was also really pretty. Look at this view.

It was way past nap time but there were too many cool things to look at Beck wouldn't fall asleep. He was getting cranking so we had a cracker break.

And then he finally fell asleep.

We went out to eat that night and then left the next day back to vegas for an Air Force meeting at the Nellis AFB. We got to vegas around 3 and did some walking around on the strip, cause it's been a long time for both of us. There are so many people there (and it was a thursday afternoon) We walked through some cool hotels, looked at some fun buildings, saw a lot of wierd people. It was fun. And we went to the Las Vegas temple. I love the spirit you feel there amongst so much evil that's around you. Just like the LA temple.

Later that night we meet up and stayed with our other good friends, Tyler and Sara. It was a short and sweet visit. But hopefully we will be neighbors next year!! After the Air Force conference on friday we made our way back to LA. I love traveling and being away from reality, but I was excited to get Beck back on his healthy nap schedule and not making him have to take his naps in his car seat. It was a great trip and so fun to just be with my little family of 3. Beck did way better than I thought in the car. We tried to travel during sleeping times, so that helped but we were both very impressed.

It was a great trip.
