Baby went to Vegas!

Yes..., we took the Baby to Vegas already!
Kevin (Ryan's youngest Brother) turned 21 so everyone went to Vegas to celebrate! Despite having to take it easy in that heat and not hang out all night, we are glad we were able to celebrate with Kevin! Here are some highlights from the weekend!
(The photo above is pre-Boatsman family arriving (I came down a day early for the shower and treated my Mom to a late Mothers Day Pedi ~ She definitely deserved it!)

Las Vegas Baby Shower w/ Family & Friends!


May 14, 2009
Thanks to the combined idea from my Cousin Jennifer (who drove up from California just to be there), Aunt Susan & my Mom... I arrived in Vegas & a wonderful baby shower had been planned for me & the Baby!
It was a great day and spending time with everyone that was there made it truly special! The Baby was happy too as it got a lot of wonderful food (and Krakles- Thank you Aunt Cindy!!) so it was nice and content! =)
The photo above was taken right when I got to the baggage claim- this was the first time my Parents saw the Baby Bump in person!!
Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate!
