Vegas Trip 1
I’m off to Las Vegas again today, for this year’s Splunk conf, once again at the MGM Grand. I’m not speaking this year, so hopefully, I can relax and just learn a whole lot! The travel was uneventful, but I took photos for the kids to keep them updated. Brandon took the kids to Chick-Fil-A for dinner tonight, always a treat! I had somewhat-disappointing appetizers for dinner, as we walked around the vendor showcase room. The conference gets under way officially tomorrow...

The kids are loving their new Halloween pajamas! Today they wore them for awhile as they played Legos and danced around.

Some of Brian’s hockey photos are in the sample book–front page, even! We did...

Brian was really rocking out to one of his current favorite songs, “Sandstorm“, in the car today. The song is older than him, but, he loves it!

Some girls and I were at a place sort of like a Dave & Buster’s, with food and lots of video games, but it had a small dancefloor as well. The music was awful, and we mostly stood around rolling our eyes at the lameness of the tunes and the clientele....
Read MoreKendall’s Nightgown
I picked up this very fancy Frozen nightgown for Kendall on one of my many Target runs on the way to the beach last time (I was trying to collect a full set of Power Ponies for her birthday before the collector nerds got them all. I think I visited six different Targets along our route to the beach!) She debuted it today, along with a sparkly princess crown. Just lovely,...
