Road Trip

And the road trip begins...

My sexy husband in his new clothes. Hmmm.... 

Almost every time we go to Vegas we tend to stay at the HRH. I love everything about it including the decor hence all of the pictures. 

Lunch at the Pink Taco

I couldn't even tell you what Wes ordered, but it had lots of seafood in it.

My Baked Ziti from Maggiano's 

This was about the worst top I could have worn after a heavy Italian dinner, I have a pooch, how embarrassing! 

View from our room... this is the first time we haven't been looking at the parking lot or the air conditioner.

Happy 27th

Another year has gone by and I am another year older. A lot has happened in a year... Just when you think birthdays can't get any better I am always pleasantly surprised every year. My darling team decorated my desk and made me yummy cupcakes and cake balls. I work with the most amazing people. I am so blessed to have so many amazing people in my life.

Then my yummy husband took me to one of our favs, Log Haven. It was so romantic and nice to spend time with my sweetie, best birthday present EVER. Of course, it didn't end there. Wes let me pick out a new watch, I found this fabulous Vince Camuto watch that I just couldn't resist! 

Thank you everyone for such another great birthday. Love you all!

Martin Guitar

When we were in Vegas a couple of months ago we stumbled into Guitar Center and spent several hours playing acoustic guitars. It was only a matter of time until this was sitting in our living room. Wes has gotten so good at playing the guitar and he is in the process of teaching me how to play the guitar. I am absolutely terrible at playing, but you know how when you aren't good at something the last thing you want to do is practice... yeah that is what is happening at the moment. 

The Views

Wes and I have been on the browse and saving our dollars for sometime now to buy a house. I am happy to say we have finally found home. It's weird how things are meant to be sometimes. We stumbled onto this area two minutes away from where we currently live and fell in love. I can't wait for this to be home. We have been having so much fun designing the house and thinking of all the bells and whistles we want!! I will keep you posted on the progress. 

Shooting at the Range

I am sorry Wes and I have MIA for a while. I was going through some of our photos and decided to play catch up. Wes has always talked about wanting an AR-15 and he finally got one over Christmas. We found this amazing outdoor shooting range up Parley's Canyon so when bullets were easily accessible and cheaper than they are now we would bundle up and have the times of our lives. 

Vegas

Wes and I took one of our annual Vegas trips. It was so nice to leave snow for a few days and take in some sun rays and warm weather. We seriously didn't do anything but eat yummy food, enjoy quality time together, and walk around taking in all of the sites. 

The first night we were there we stayed at Hooters Hotel. That was an adventure! Let's just say it was our first time staying there and probably our last. The other two nights we stayed at The Palms in their new Palms Place. It was so nice and modern. They upgraded us to a suite on the 37th floor with a view of the strip. It was so beautiful at night. 

As many times as I have been to Vegas I have never experienced the aquarium at Mandalay Bay. If you ever have an opportunity I highly suggest going. It was awesome. My favorite was seeing the komodo dragon. I could have watched that character all day. One of our nights out on the town we stopped in to the Boot Barn. Wes got him a new pair of Ariat cowboy boots. He looks like a sexy beast and rock-star in them. 

It was so hard to come back home to a snow storm... but after a fabulous vacation it is always nice be back home!

The Barkell's

It was so nice to have everyone home for the holidays. Since, we were all home together we decided to have updated family pictures taken. We haven't had family pictures since Wes and I got married two years ago. These pictures turned out fabulous in the snow.
