She zipped herself into the suit case but couldn't get it unzipped.
Right when you walk off the plane, in the airport are ... you guessed it....
Slot machines. Malissa told me that there are slots in every store, CVS, Walgreens...
Malissa and I got to tour the strip. We parked at the Bellagio, saw the famous Bellagio fountain Music show and then walked the strip.
Of Course it wouldn't have been a trip to Vegas if we didn't try the slots. I was terrible at the slots but it was still fun.
The Monti Carlo
Since Kylie's favorite is M&M's we made a stop at M&M World. It is a 3 story tall store of M&M stuff. Kylie prize from Mommy's trip was a Slot Machine M&M dispenser (she loves it). They had one wall of all different colors of M&M's. This store was amazing.
This is the strip late at night from the main road by Malissa's house.
This, believe it or not is Malissa's very first time playing the slot machine's.
This is a Chocolate fountain inside the Bellagio. It is a full wall and different kinds of chocolate. It reminds me of the Chocolate lake in Charlie and the Chocolate factory and how they mix the chocolate in the movie. It looks like this is how they mix their chocolate. It was very neat.
Even though the Vegas strip was great and Malissa and I haven't been out together in years, my favorite part of Vegas was just spending quality time with Malissa, Gary, Corinne and our newest addition to the McDonald/Webb/Ferrone crew Kaitlyn. Since I didn't have my precious clan with me, I was able to focus on just them. I missed my crew but it was fantastic to just relax and play with Kaitlyn and Corinne. I got to be Aunt Jenn for the whole weekend.
By the end of my trip Corinne was an Ipad Master. Shhhhhh don't tell Kylie I put special games on there for Corinne. After I showed her how it worked, Corinne was able to play all three games and watch a movie on netflix.
Malissa and I haven't spent quality time together in years so just hanging out was a lot of fun. She took me to my first Hobby Lobby, Osh Cosh B'Gosh outlet and Carter's outlets stores. Kylie, Corinne, Bella and Kaitlyn have some really cute matching girly clothes for this summer. Jaxson got some great new adorable summer clothes too.
Malissa made a delicious corn beef and cabbage dinner for St. Patricks day.
Gary (aka Mr. Mom) was busy helping Malissa with the baby, Corinne, laundry, making dinner (when we went out) and everything great Dad's do.

Corinne and I would wake up play games and color while we were waiting for Malissa and Gary to get up. They needed to catch as much sleep as they could while Kaitlyn slept. It was my pleisure sneeking in as much Corinne time as I could.
Aunt Jenn brought their easter presents.
Most of the senery is dirt. Everywhere you look is dirt and more mountains of dirt. But every subdivision has, what they nick named "the Green", it is where all the kids go to practice soccer and just play in the grass.
Most of the houses look the same, with stucko finishes and most look square. These are a little different but are surrounded in, you guessed it, dirt.
Even the target is surrounded in dirt.
All of the houseing is surrounded in dirt also but beautifully landscaped. The unlandscaped natural hills and dirt surrounding the subdivisions have what I nick named them "lava rocks". You will see in the pictures I took in Malissa's back yard on the hill behind her house that some of the rocks, are covered in black but there is a line along the bottom where the lava stopped. I was obbsessed with these rocks and the whole concept of Lava at one point covering the area that I went out in search of a lava rock to bring home for show and tell.
This is Malissa & Gary's beautiful house.
This is through the gate and their front door.
This is the great view out their kitchen window to their resort back yard.
Their dinning room.
This is through the door in their dinning room
Kaitlyn's room.
Corinne's room.
Family room and Kitchen.
Their resort style back yard. If you are ever lucky enough to visit, just step outside to their back yard, looks like a paradise.
This is my obbsession with "Lava Rocks" and this is the hill behind their back fence.
My adorible niece. She has the best poses and could totally be a pagent girl. She is such a ham in front of the camera.
Miss Kaitlyn getting a bath.
This is in their front court yard.
Miss Kaitlyn is stingy with her smiles but Aunt Jenn was able to catch a few. Here is my favorite.

I had the most amazing time in Las Vegas. Thank you Malissa & Gary for opening your home and great quality time with your whole family. I am truly greatful for all the memories we made together. Your home is beautiful and your family is of course fantastic. Gary, you are a great Dad and are taking great care of Malissa and the girls, thank you for having me. Malissa I miss you already! It was priceless spending time with you and your family. You are an amazing Mom! You are holding everything together and doing a great job. It will get easier but don't be fooled, just when you think you've got it down, those girls will change it up on you but I am sure you will keep everything moving smoothly. Well as smoothly as it gets with children. I love you Sis and I love your Family!
I do have one last special shot out! This trip could not have happened if I didn't have an amazing husband. I came home to happy Babies and a Happy 4 year old. The house was clean and laundry was done. Not only did he work from home but he also took care of everything! Miss Bella is walking a little more than she did when I left and Sissy is back at school. Kylie filled me in on everything she did. Thank you Grammy for stopping by over the weekend and helping out on Monday!
There is nothing better than walking off the plane seeing my babies get so excited to see me and having Kylie run to me with hugs and tears of joy in her eyes! This trip was awesome all the way to the end!
