Las Vegas- Day 2

Trey and I were super tired from traveling the day before, so we slept in til 9:45. We both showered and had Uber take us to the Venetian! We enjoyed walking around the casinos and even found Carlos Bakery in the hotel. We saw a river running through the hotel with gandola rides! We landed on an awesome lunch place- The Yardbird! Trey enjoyed GF fried chicken and broussel sprouts, I enjoyed fried chicken and okra! It was a delicious lunch. We walked across the street to view the Mirage! Our favorite store there was the precious soap store! We bought Caroline a popsicle soap stick! Then, we took a tram to Treasure Island- it wasn’t that exciting! I have now seen all the greatest hotel/casinos in Vegas ! We headed back to our hotel about 3:00. I enjoyed time by the pool before heading up to freshen up for our dinner show! Can’t wait! We left for Mike’s Dinner Show about 5:30. The service there was amazing. I really enjoyed the entertainment, too! Trey and I shared 3 of the best meatballs and stuffed calamari for appetizers! Then, for dinner, I had lasagna and he had pot roast! I got some terimusus for dessert! We made it back to the hotel about 9:00. It was a super night!

Welcome to Viva Las Vegas- Day 1

Today, Trey and I left Memphis at 8:00 to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary in Las Vegas! We arrived in town about 2:45 and went straight to the famous sign! We ate dinner at a Mexican restaurant called Cabo Wabo. After that, we enjoyed walking the strip. We went inside the Bellagio. We enjoyed a phone call from Griffin and Caroline, plus heard great news that taylor was kept safe in his basketball game and Saints win! Here below are some pictures of our 1st day!

Anniversary Dinner & Soccer Game

I dropped  the kids off at mom’s house about 3:30. I headed home and enjoyed a quiet house. Trey headed home about 5:30 and we made a few returns, then enjoyed fried catfish at Catfish Cabin! It was also fun because Summer sent me pictures of everyone at the Memphis 901 soccer game babe nashville. Here are some pictures of our Anniversary night!

Packed and ready !







Griffin Starts Competitive Baseball

Last night, Griffin had his 4th straight day of tryouts. We ended with the Dragons at their indoor facility! Coach Jason lined up Griffin a private tryout with only four boys. The coach called us only an hour after the tryout was over to offer us a spot. Griffin was the #1 of those four boys! They commented on his great defense (fielding and throwing). We immediately called Jason at 9:00 to weigh out our options. Griffin had made three teams (The Rays, Batters Box & Dragons). Jason began to sell us on why the Dragons would be a great fit for our family- the big reasons were access to indoor facility, buying only 1 team’s gear and convenience of the practice field! We ran upstairs to wake Griffin and ask him, but he never fully woke up. I felt better having tried to ask him...but in the end, Trey and I chose the Collierville Dragons bc it’s a great fit for our family! Trey called back Travis Bright and had a super conversation with him telling him we would accept the spot! Fast forward to the next morning. Trey and I took Griffin to Chick-fil-a to talk it over baseball with him! Griffin was so excited to be a Dragon like Taylor! Here he is after learning the news!
