We got Tangled!!

We took advantage of Travis having the day off today and enjoyed a movie out with the kids. Trav made me realize that this was the first movie that we have all seen together (minus seeing Toy Story 3 at the Drive In) as a family! I've taken the kids with my parents to see movies but I guess we haven't seen one with Daddy. That's pretty sad but was happy we remedied it! When we first got there, Jordyn had to go to the bathroom and ran right into the Men's bathroom!! Makenna ran right in after her and I had to yell for them to get out while the guy taking the tickets laughed at me:) Once we were seated, the previews started and one came on about Justin Bieber. It was very loud so Jordyn covered her ears and said her ears hurt. Travis then replied, "It's ok sweetie. My ears hurt when I hear Justin Bieber too!" He had me and everyone around us laughing. Jordyn was a lot better than she has been in the past. And even when she got restless, she was fine once she got some licorice or kisses:) I think it had to do with it being a Princess movie too! Baby boy was good as well. I was a little worried about it since he is a lot more mobile. I kept him in his car seat for as long as he would let me, feeding him puffs and stuff and then nursed him when he was tired of sitting. He did really well. Jordyn also loved making her shoes light up in the dark (something I didn't think of before). Makenna was just awesome. She loved the movie and just sat there enamored by it and eating her popcorn. She ate that popcorn during the whole movie! She is just like her Mommy! And on the way out, she asked if she could play one of the games. I was confused for a minute and didn't know what she was talking about. Then we came out of the theater and I realized she was talking about the slot machines!! Sorry honey!! You can't play 'those' games!! Haha!! Only in Vegas!! We had a great time and I'm glad we went:)

A most fabulous girls night out

Sarah has been in Cedar City with her family but was able to come back to Vegas for a night to go to Phantom of the Opera with me!! She had never seen it before and it was really neat to see it with her. We started off with a yummy dinner at Lonestar! I love that place but dang their cheese fries!! We were full before we even got our steak;) The show was amazing of course. Sarah got this pic before they yelled at her. I think we had perfect seats. If you are too close up, you have to look backwards to see a bunch of stuff and everything was right in front of us.

After the show was over, we bolted down to the pit to see Travis' friend that plays trumpet for the show. He had taken Travis and me backstage when we were there in January but I didn't think he was going to do that for us. Not only did he do that for us but it was an even better tour! There was a second show the night Travis and I went so he was pretty limited. Not this night!! He took us across the stage and showed us where all the trap doors were and all that fun stuff. Then he took us behind the curtain where all the props were stacked up. We got to take this pic with the mannequins from the masquerade. As we left to go backstage, a couple of the cast (Raoul and Carlotta) passed right by us! He was super cute and she was way short;-}

Then, he took us under the stage to see how everything works. It's amazing all that goes into it. They literally shoot the Phantom onto the stage at the end of the show. They also suck him down at one point. They have pressure tanks that do this and he said he goes for a ride every night. It feels like a roller coaster. That's insane! Then we got to see all the wigs that they wear and Phantom's make up room.
But then the night was still young so we decided to catch a movie. We saw 'He's just not that into you' and it was a really good movie. It was so much fun and I love my Sarah. I wish she lived closer but I'm so thankful that her family lives close so that I get to see her when she comes to visit them:) They just better not move! I get to see her one more time on Makenna's birthday. We are going to take our girls for pedicures and lunch to celebrate. Makenna kept telling me she loved my flower every five minutes when I got my last pedicure with Sarah. So I thought it would be nice to let her get one too. So fun!!

Bolt!!

We went to see the movie 'Bolt' a couple of weeks ago with Grandma and Papa!! I wanted to let Makenna have some time out by herself so her other Grandma watched J.J. for us!! It was so fun. The last time I took her to a movie was to see Horton on her birthday. So, the first thing she says when we walk in was, "Yay, I want to see Horton!!" It was so funny. Then when we got into the theatre, she said, "Wow, that's a BIG tv!" She is such a ham;) She absolutely loved it and was crying when we got home because she wanted to bring the movie home with us. She couldn't figure out why we couldn't. We had to explain to her all night that we would have to wait until they made it for little tv's like ours. I can't wait to give her Horton for Christmas;)

And I just had to add a funny comment from my kiddo. She was watching Shrek and all of a sudden she says, "He tooted in the bathtub!!! He needs to say excuse me!"
