more shenanigans

As soon as Matt spotted the Cobra Mustang plant, he knew we had to work that into the schedule. They turn regular mustangs into Cobras and they let you see some of the process. They also have Carroll Shelby's personal car collection there.

Chloe in front of Trump International on her birthday

I took pictures of the banner that was being flown from a second helicopter. I got to fly around in a helicopter, with no doors, for two hours. It was an amazing experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

These beautiful fountains go off every 15 minutes so I got to see them several times from the sky.

grand canyon

One of the places I've wanted to visit for a long time is the Grand Canyon and I got to do that with Matt and Chloe last week. Matt had a job in Las Vegas and it worked out for Chloe and I to tag along. We got into Vegas at 8:30am (their time) and drove 5 hours to the Canyon. It was a beautiful drive and we thoroughly enjoyed it, even though we were both tired. We ended up being up for like 27 hours, with a cat nap thrown in there, but we wouldn't have changed anything (minus the baby not sleeping:) )

It was definitely more amazing in person than in pictures. When seeing God's creation in places like that it makes me feel so small.

Chloe's birthday party

We celebrated Chloe's birthday last Sunday with both sets of her grandparents. Her first birthday came up a whole lot faster than I wanted but I did enjoy putting together a girly party.

I told Matt that this was the first, first birthday cake that I haven't cried over. :) I am no cake decorator and for once I had a cake that went together easy.

She didn't really know what to do with the presents and the boys were more than willing to help her out.
