The City That Never Sleeps (You can say that again).. VIVA LAS VEGAS

Warning:
AnOtHeR LoNg POST.
SEE WHY:

On Saturday, my mom, Shalae, Alisse & I DROVE to Vegas for a BUSINESS TRIP.
BORE-ING!!
YEAH RIGHT...

We have figured out that it is so much more FUN for us to drive places rather than fly. There was never a dull moment in that car. We loved playing "Don't Forget the Lyrics", singing with the ugliest voices, making fun of ourselves, ETC.... During all of this fun, we thought we might have been lost, even though my mom was following her GPS, so VIC gave ON STAR a call.

The first night we were there, I was incharge of "DALLING UP" my sisters...

Alisse BEFORE:

ALISSE AFTER:

3 SMOKIN' HOT LADIES

TOURIST, just taking pictures of "THE CITY OF LIGHTS"...

FYI: NO, this was not my first time to come here... actually none of ours!!

From this point on, guys were hitting on Shalae LEFT AND RIGHT.

(It's hard to see that picture, but 2 guys were waving to her out their car window.)

YAHOO, I am now a MILLIONARE!!! HA HA

But SERIOUSLY..... We went on a romantic date.

OUR (single??) WAITER... uh oh, sis!

BTW- I now have 6 jobs... I run "The Singles Network" (with some of my other family members) for my smokin' hot sister, SHALAE!!!!

After we ate, we asked our waiter where we should go to STAR STALK. He told us Maroon 5 was coming, and so was 50 Cent and his peeps. So we decided to just stay at Mandalay Bay (sp?) to scope people out. We never saw 50 Cent, but oh well... here is who we did see:

Maroon 5 was the first people we saw,

then some nasty girls waiting to get in the club,

The custest mom ever: Vicki Sherwood,

as we were just sitting there, look who walked by...

our FAVORITE SUNS PLAYER: Dan Marjerle.

When he passed us, my mom goes "DAN!" (like he knew us & we were bffs.) So we introduced him to the singles network, Shalae & him ELOPED & this is the wedding photo. (*WINK)

CUTE, HUH!! Don't ask if we told him that we named our dog after him & we were his biggest fans... cause you all ready know that answer.

Local lady from the news.. CH 15, maybe. (She was with Dan.. OH, he is so cute!!)

This girl was so cute. She works for a local bank. Her name is Alisse Baldwin, I think!

Sorry, this turned out dark & blurry. I am not even sure who it was, but Lance says that the guy is a drummer for a band. ??

(Let me know if you know anyone in the photos that I don't)

(Those 2 people again)

This girl was so wierd, but the crowd was going crazy over her.

Ahh..?? Do they work for MTV??

I was so mad, I totally wanted a good picture of her face.

Shalae Hunt from She's Got It All.

ANYONE?? No clue.

EWW...

We saw these 2 older men seperately, & they were so creepy. We thought they were trying to steal from girls purses, or ???. Later, we found them together going into the club. They told Shalae that they had one more ticket to get in. SICK!!!

(The scary thought is that dumb girls probably fall for that)

AND THEN LATER, they were basiclly denied & the security was trying to tell them to leave.. HA HA...

We also saw Miss America, and Hayden Panettiere (from HEROS).

We headed home & it took us 1 hour to go about 2 miles on the strip.

While we were stuck in traffic, 2 guys on scooters were weaving in between cars . 2 officers went to bust them & next thing you know the cops are giving one of them high fives & talking to them. (The 2 officers went & took their pictures with him later, it just made me laugh. They reminded me of 2 Mormon Missionaries.. )

TURNS OUT to be:

FLAVA FLAVE!!

DURING our long wait, Shalae decided she'd take a pic with him... it's all about the NETWORK, ya know!

SO... NOW I have 7 jobs... just added: Popparatzi (sp??)

We really did go to VEGAS for a kids/baby convention.

Here are some new items & new companies we found!!!

Some fun & simple aprons that match these cute chalk boards that can be rolled up to take to church, or where ever. You can wipe them off with wipes or water! I loved them.
This company makes a lot of BLING items... and then some TUTU'S that were really extreme, and more expensive... BUT, I loved them & I thought they were extremely cute!! (Leggings attached, tons of ribbon & each tutu was filled with cute items!!!

OH, I LOVE!!!

Cute vintage shirts for BOYS & GIRLS!!

We loved every single frame from this company.

Alls I gotts ta say: GET ready for our upcoming trunk shows!!

Wall decor for kids!

UHH OH, I had to snap that snug.

BACK on the town...



My mom rocks!! She took us all to see "MAMA MIA"..

LOVED IT!!!
It was so cute & so much fun.



THANKS AGAIN MOM!!!! You are the DANCING QUEEN!!



I love people watching. I almost wet my pants when I snapped this lady turning around. She kept turning around & making the worst faces. I couldn't help it!!

(SLOTHS MOM)



They asked for there to be no picture taking during the performance, so when I thought it was done, I took a couple pictures, & then a video. Next thing I knew, there was a security man running up the stairs with his flash light to shine it in my eyes. I almost died, cause people kept starring at me!! OOPS!!!



NOW, back to stalking..



(SPEAKING OF THE PALMS).... At the Palms we saw....

STEVE-O from the show Jack A--.

This is.... hmm... I don't really know. Do you?
Billy Rae's Dad?? I'm not sure who this is, but people kept snapping his picture. HA HA (so of course I joined in)
Kid Rock (who fought Tommy Lee just a little while before this)


I'll just pretend that those are my long, skinny, tan legs in the middle of the picture.

Who the heck is that wierdo & what the HECK was she thinking?? Maybe it was a dare.



When I asked Lance who this was, he said "Terell Suggs, just kidding". Any other guesses?

Michelle, Amber, or any other soap watchers....

We heard this was some guy from a soap opera.. I don't know who it is, but he looked a little familiar. ANYONE??

AHHH... Shalae got an unalment (sp?) from DAN, so she could elope with this guy...

(CONGRATS you two make a lovely couple. HA HA)

Shalae & I were taking a picture of Kelly Slater (famous surfer), and he was itching his nose, but it looked like he was picking his nose, so I asked if he would smile so I could take a pic... Kelly said "How about you just get in it with me"... FINE!!!!! I told him my husband was gonna be mad that I took a picture with an other guy, so how about he take a picture with my single sister. They hit it off GREAT (*wink)!!

Which do you like better for their announcements?

Here he is! (I copied this from somewhere online)
OH, and he was really nice. We were just posing for people on the red carpet.. HA HA

NASTY, incase you didn't hear me, I said NASTY.

I reconized him from Surreal Life on VH1. He is ugly & dirty, & Eww...

His name is Ron Jeremy.

Some how Shalae & I missed this nice guy, but Alisse snapped a quick pic & he even shook her hand. Mario Lopez .

We also saw one of the Pussy Cat Dolls, The Foo Fighters, & actually right now I can't remember who else..
BUT, the last known people we saw... were the same as the first celebrities we saw. This time, Alisse hopped in the pictures, since we saw them in a spot that wouldn't make a scene.

Some of Maroon 5, again.

We knew we had a long day ahead of us, so we left at about midnight.

Monday morning, back to the convention!

Try to find the end of this huge floor. AND there was 2 floors!! Man, do I need a foot, shoulder & back massage. AND it isn't only long, but also very wide!!

Here is a few more sneak peeks:

Tables & Chairs now available in BROWN & a really cute blue or pink!!

Since we do pretty good with booties, we couldn't pass some of these up!

More wall decor!! Oh how I love the glitter!!

Look at how cute all these colors are on this furniture! (Can you just imagine a room decked out in this??!!)

I love this collection.. I love that pink & I love that bunk!!

SOoOo FuN!!

Alisse & Shalae were the most excited for the money grap we had heard about. We were thinking we would be standing in one...

OR NOT !!!!

(I can hear the "Debbie Downer" music now!)

Strict rules applied & the timer was set for 10 seconds.. (10 x 2 for the last day) But at least Shalae got to meet another attractive guy!

Yummy!!

"When I get nervous I put my fingers in my arm pits & then I smell them like this"

FINALLY, a lift!! Shalae pretty much jumped in the front seat. AND it was hillarious. Please notice Alisse's hands in the background. "It's the network".

Alisse pulling the huge handle at the end of the convention.. good thing we all won a shot glass! {in Nepolian's voice: "LUCKY"}

Shalae is so tall that my mom had to buy a car that her head could fit out of. (thank you sun roof) She had to wear her sunglasses the whole way home due to direct sunlight! HA HA HA, Just kidding! (BUT, nice booster seat!!)

Shalae & I had to make some {CHRISTMAS & UPCOMING TRUNK SHOWS} orders on our drive home...

SO, thank you Miss VJ... or I mean DJ: ALISSE, who played all of her Christmas songs on her I-POD to get us in that joyfull Christmas mood!!

A couple things we brought home for the KIDS!!:

(All things shown are from G-MA VICKI)

Beads, cute vintage shirts, & a new cute decorative booster seat for her kitchen table!!

We all ready are so excited to go again. Next year it better be the same weekend for the MTV Music Awards again, & most importantly:

AUBURN, YOU BETTER BE THERE !!!!
