Mesquite

We took our friends Amy and Austin to Mesquite this last weekend. They never been so we thought it would be fun to go and who wouldn't want to go on vacation again? We spent our time in the water to beat the heat. I forgot to take pictures because we were having so much fun. We also braved the heat and rode Go Carts and played a game of Mini Golf. Saturday we made our way to Las Vegas. We went through a Temple Session. I hate myself for not taking pictures because it's such a beautiful Temple. I guess we just have to go again! Amy and Austin never walked the strip so we decided to stay an extra night to walk it. I'm glad we did because Matt and I never saw the falls at the Bellagio. It's also a fun Casino to walk through.

Since we were staying, we had to make a late night run to Wal-Mart for food and yes, we are in our pajamas.

If it weren’t for Amy, we wouldn’t have had these pictures.

What a rush!

This last week was the Thompson Family Reunion. We stayed in a small town just outside of St. George. It's always so nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and just get away especially when it's with family that you only get to spend time with once a year. I honestly wish it could have lasted longer. A surprise Baby Shower was thrown for me and Aunt Becky. I honestly got really cute things and can't wait for his appearance.

The family skits were a laugh. We role played "Nephi Builds a Ship". Matt was Nephi and I his wife.

Can you guess who the other family members were?
And there's always the family pictures before we left

During the reunion, Matt and I had to take a detour to San Diego for my older brothers wedding. We hopped on a late evening flight from Las Vegas so we could be there the following morning. The Wedding Ceremony was beautiful.

After the reception and before we flew back to the reunion, we had time to watch the Padres play. We loved the looks on our Uncles faces when they heard we were there when they only got to watch it on TV. It was a good game!
