corey, britt and princess hallee: St. Geezie and Vegas!!

This past weekend Corey and I went down to St. George for Brons (my little bros) baseball tournament. We drove down Friday right after work, watched 2 of games that night, and we didn't get back to where we were staying until 1:30 am ya it was a long day. We did however have quite the adventure on our way down to St. Geezie (as our family calls it.) We were just out side of Cedar City and it was dark when all of a sudden we saw a huge puddle of blood in our lane on the road and before we could do anything or switch lanes we ran right over the top of an already dead deer. It was quite the jump that the good old saturn made. We couldn't believe it. The deer had obviously been hit maybe an hour or so before we decided to run over it again. So when we got to St. George we examined the car to see the damages. What we found was blood on the left side of the car and deer meat and hair all underneath the car. Ya not gonna lie it kind of grossed me out a little, beside that no other damages, which is to be expected with the Saturn she is a gem of a car! :) On Saturday me, Corey, and our good friend Austin Miller drove down and spent to day in Vegas. We did what most LDS people do and can do which is um......walk the strip!!haha. It was a ton of fun. Me and Corey rode the New York New York rollercoater. My dear friend Austin didn't accompany us on that one due to motion sickness but he was there is spirit ahah love you Austy!! Our main purpose for going down to Vegas however was because if you know my husband he is an absolutely HuGe BuFfEt fan. And who has better buffets than Vegas. So for part of my amazing hubby's birthday gift (which is actually next week the 29th) I decided that I would take him the Rio's buffet. Corey and I have been married for almost a year now so I know how much he can eat, however I can honestly say I have never in my life ever seen someone who ate as much as him. He just kept coming back with more and more food with every plate, truly impressive. I think the final count of plates eaten by Corey Jacob Hansen was atleast 8. Yeah he is pretty much a bottomless pit. I pray everyday that I don't have a ton of boys because we will be poverty stricken just by trying to feed and keep them full haha. On Sunday before we drove home we went with my family and visited the historical church site, the home of Jacob Hamblin. It was actually really interesting and fun. All growing up my dad always wanted to stop and see historical sites because he is a huge history buff. Well all of us kids would always vote against stopping to see the sites, saying that they were all the same. Even though this frustrated my dad most of the time us kids would win and we could just press forward and go home. I think that now there are only 3 kids left at home now, my dad doesn't really give them a choice and they don't really have a say in what sites they do and don't want see. I truly am so sorry Brae, Kell, and Brons!! :)......just for my sibilings I'm going to say one spot that always seemed to be or wanted to be visited by our incredible father....COVEFORT!!! It was such a fun weekend and a nice little getaway for me and Corey and to also spend some time with my family. It was also fun to get to see and spend time with our friend Austin. Austin will actually be graduating this December from Dixie, with his associates degree and his RN license! We are so proud of you Austin and are so grateful for the friendship that we have, love ya!! Thank you to my family for letting us come down and join you! Good job pitching Beyons your the best!! (3-1)

Getting ready to head back home!

Okay so the reason for this picture! My family will laugh and now exactly what I'm talking about. So when my family was younger we would go down to Mesquite with our neighbors and good friends the Millers. Of course we would always go to the Oasis buffet, which unfortunately doens't exist anymore. So as were would walk in the casino to get to the buffet us kids would always see and hear people walking around saying "Keno" We were all confused so we asked my dad. "dad who is Keno" Well my dad made up this huge story about this little boy who was lost and so they would walk around saying his name so that they might be able to find him. Of course we all believed that story, so the next time we went we were all confused and wondering why "Keno" was still gone and missing and if we should try to help find "Keno"

This guy was so cool. He was on the strip in Vegas and he seriously looked like he was a statue. In front of this guy he had a bucket that said "show the bucket some love" were people would put there money in. So Austin decided he would throw some change in to see what would happen. As soon as Austin threw the change in the guy like came to life and started moving all robotic. It was really cool to watch him, he was really good!

Me and my hubby again!

Corey loves the dill pickled sunflower seeds, obviously. Yes that is a Sobe bottle filled with Corey's sunflower seed shells. All of this was accumulated just on our drive home.
