{viva las vegas}

Well, this past weekend the boys and I took a much needed mini getaway to St. George and Las Vegas with my parents. Poor Steve had to stay behind for rotations, but I think he enjoyed sleeping in Sat. and Sun. minus the kids, just as much as we enjoyed soaking up the sun down south. I have been telling Hunter about the M&M Factory in Las Vegas for a few weeks now...and boy was he excited to go and check it all out. It was definitely worth the trip there, that is for sure. The weather was perfect, we had lots of fun swimming at the pool, shopping at the outlets, watching movies, and just plain relaxing. Just what we all needed---because starting back Monday it all begins again.....

I haven't really had the the time to update as much as I would like to, but working these night shifts is almost killing me. I am SO SO grateful for all of the amazing help I am getting from my awesome mom and mother- in- law who help me out so much with watching my boys, but it has been really hard for me to adjust to so many new things. My 6 week long orientation is finally over this week--so that means I am all on my own! Freaky right??? Each day I am feeling more and more comfortable, but there is still so much that I have to learn. I swear I thought after having two babies myself and working as a nurse for over 5 years--I just might have had a step up, when it came to Labor and Delivery. Umm....that would be a NO. I was wrong, very very, wrong. But on a positive note, it is definitely the coolest job I have EVER had, and I get to work with some really fun people. So, we are trying our best to juggle Steve's rotations, Hunter's preschool, Tanner's wild and crazy toddler ways, and my sanity.

So yes...a mini trip this weekend, is just what we needed to gear up for another week ahead.

Yep...it was lots of fun. I have to say though, the highlight of the whole weekend just might have been when I discovered that my favorite Monster cereal's were already out. Do any of you remember eating these as a kid??? My favorite was Franken Berry! YUM! So sugary...but oh so good.

So which one is your favorite.........
