St. George and Vegas

This past weekend Willie went out to the Mountain West Conference Basketball tournament in Las Vegas with his brothers, dad, brother in law, uncle, and cousin to cheer on BYU! They had a great time watching all of the games and lost their voices cheering. They had great seats right behind the basket, and were even on TV!

While the boys were gone, Willie's mom invited Kelli and I down to St. George for some fun girl time. We had the best time there! We visited, went shopping, saw the movie Just Go With It (Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler are surprisingly so cute together!), and ate lots of yummy food. We had such a fun time. I can't believe I forgot to take pictures!!!

Saturday we all got up early and drove up to meet the boys in Vegas. The boys got ready and we met up with Uncle Tim and Tommy before getting some breakfast and sight seeing (this is where the camera finally came out).

Us at the MGM hotel where the boys stayed. They picked that one because that is where the team was staying. Sadly, there were no Jimmer sightings.

We looked around the M&M store

After walking around the strip we met up with Bill, Jamie, and Timmy (they had taken Timmy through the Vegas temple) and ate at Cafe Rio.



After lunch us girls headed back and the boys went to the last game. BYU lost :(. The boys got home late late late that night. We went to church the next morning, and then came back to rest. We were all TIRED!!

I snuck up and took this picture while they were sleeping squished on the air mattress...cute!

We headed back to Provo and colder weather Sunday afternoon. I loved it being so nice and warm in St. George!! We had such a fun time, and it was the perfect weekend getaway!

I feel so, so left out. I wish more than anything I could've been with you guys this weekend. It's just so fun to spend time together outside of my parents living room, ya know? But I still can't wait to see you guys in my parents' living room soon!

(Also, I know this is not the point of this post, but yikesies with Willie's shoes. I was like, "Is he wearing socks with sandals?" But then I zoomed in and found out that those are, unfortunately, not sandals. Poor college students? :))
