Dave and I were lucky enough to go to The National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas this year. We went with Daves cousin Candice and her husband K.C. it was sooo much fun! We left Wes home with his Grandma and Grandpa Andersen and spent a long weekend shopping, playing, eating and most importantly going to the awesome rodeo two nights in a row. It was so much fun and I know we will never forget it!!!
Candice and I at Fremont Street (the old strip)
While we were there, we saw a group of three ladies (standing behind us) and could not get over how funny it was that they had not only matching outfits and purses bur haircuts as well.
This is one of three huge expo centers filled with cowboy merchandise. Candice and I had A LOT of fun shopping wile Dave and K.C. followed nervously adding up all of our reciepts.
The first night we went to the rodeo, K.C. surprised us all with a huge Escalade limo for the ride! What a stud we had so much fun!
K.C., Candice, me, and Dave in front of the huge limo.
K.C., Trevor Brazile, and Candice
Trevor Brazile won the all around cowboy award by the time the rodeo was over! He is won an event every night and is the "biggest cowboy" in the circuit.
Dave and I were able to go through a session at the Vegas Temple while we were there. It was so nice to do, we unfortunatley haven't been able to go as often as we like since Wes has been born.

We thought that this picture was a classicand couldn't pass up on the opportunity to get it.
Every night before the rodeo started, all of the contestants came out in groups with there state flag. Texas had something like 36 contestants.
Dave and K.C. were on a bowling kick and we went bowling almost every night. K.C. kept talkin' up how good he was, but in the end Dave came out with the win every time.
K.C. seems to know all of the right people, and was able to get us back stage at the Buckle Ceremony to meet all of the winners from that night. This is one of our favorite pictures Dave and I with the one and only Trevor Brazile.
In the middle of the month, we were able to go for a ride on the "Polar Express" in Heber with my family. This is a cute picture of Wes with his grandma and grandpa Andersen during our ride to the North Pole.

We make gingerbread houses every year with my family and this is what Dave and I came up with this year.
