We had an amazing fun filled week in Vegas. We always try to get out to Vegas at least once every 2 years. We actually went out for Aidan's hip hop Nationals competition so we decided to take a few more days off for R&R.

I had so much fun packing because I knew how hot the weather would be so it would be fun and challenging at the same time. I knew that I'd be wearing lots of hats so I just brought what I could put inside my hat box. I also packed a pair of flats along with a matching pair of heels because there would be so much walking to do. I packed my loving pair of chucks but I actually never wore them. I always go a little crazy with wardrobe because depending on the day, weather, event, and my mood for the day, I always bring plenty of options. I always pack at least 3 little black dresses (short, long, mid cuts), 2 clutches and at least 3 different bags.  As for jewelry, I have to admit, I went a little crazy for this trip, but I had lots of options! I did change my nail polish 3 times and it became an extra accessory!

While we were there, we also attended the KARtv Award and Benefits Live Show featuring live performances from MOS Wanted Crew and a few other popular groups.  We just wanted to see BAM (Brian Martin) our friend and his group and we did just that. Aidan finally got to meet Brian and he was so ecstatic, yet very shy.

I just wanted to announce that Aidan and his little group did win 1st Place for their hip hip division so that was an awesome win since he only had 1 number.  The trip was amazing and we had a wonderful time with The Talent Factory and representing such an amazing studio.

We spent the rest of our time walking the strip and just enjoying all the new addition that the strip has on a yearly basis. Here are just a few shots from our trip (I had over 1500 pictures... I know!) so if you want to see more, feel free to visit my facebook page.

This was my FAVORITE shot that I captured! 

Have a GREAT WEEK! 

Weekend FUN

Saturday June 23: Aidan's Annual Recital 

Aidan is my 6 year old son.  He had his recital this past weekend and we had so much fun watching him with 2 different hip hop numbers.  He's been competing with the Showstopper Competition Team at The Talent Factory and he's been having a blast.  Here a few pictures from the Recital.

After church we went to lunch before we headed off to Venice Beach for the day

I love this shot because my intentions were of course to shoot my girls

but I didn't even notice the guy in the middle until I looked at the photo later. 

CLASSIC! 

**********

What an amazing weekend we had.  I asked my sister in law to grab me a few items from IMATS

because I couldn't attend but we got to see her and hang out with her at the beach along 

with hanging with my two besties.  To Cat: I hope you get home safe and to Tina, we are so happy that you came to visit us from Texas.  Have a great time in Fresno and we'll see you again soon. Good friends are hard to find and I'm glad I've got some amazing ones right by my side. I love you both! 

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend as well...
