5 Year Anniversary

Landen and I had our 5 year anniversary on July 29th. We decided to go down to Vegas and St. George to celebrate. We left Wed. morning and got to Vegas in the afternoon. We stayed at the Excalibur. After we checked in we did some shopping around on the strip and ate dinner and then we headed off to see The Phantom of the Opera. It was SO GOOD. I had seen it once before at the capitol theater and it was so much better in vegas. We loved it. Thursday we went out to breakfast with Landen's friend and his wife. We spent the rest of the day shopping around and walking the strip. We love to shop and I am not lieing when I say WE. Landen likes it more than I do. Which is really good because I know there will always be time for that anywhere we go, Landen makes sure of it. That night we went and saw The Lion King. It was a really good show. I thought it was better when I saw it in NYC but it was still really good. On Friday we checked out of our hotel and did some more last minute shopping and then we went to the wax museum. Tickets to the wax museum came with our tickets to the Lion King. After the Wax museum we left vegas (which I was so ready to do) and headed to St. George. When we got to St. George we had just enough time to check into our hotel and go look for a place to eat before we headed up to the Tuacahn. We couldn't find anywhere that was fast enough and that sounded good so we skipped dinner and decided to eat after the show. Little did we know was that the power was out at the Tuacahn because of a wind storm and the show wouldn't even start until after 10. We ended up just eating snacks from the show for dinner and called it good. Saturday we went and did sealings at the St. George Temple. I love that Temple. It was so nice to go there and spend some time with Landen doing sealings to celebrate our anniversary. After the Temple we went and visited with Landen's friend and his wife for a couple of hours. It was so nice to site and talk with them. Before we headed home we decided to go do more shopping at the outlet stores. We found lots of great stuff there.
This is me and Landen on a Gondola ride. Our guide was awesome and sang really well too. (Landen looks a little freaked out)
This was made out of Jelly Belly's.

John Wayne at the wax museum. We got this one for my Dad.


We got this one for Andie. When we showed her she loved it.
We had so much fun and it was nice to get away for a couple of days. I was in the sick stage of being pregnant but as long as I ate a good breakfast I felt pretty good.
