Vegas Baby!!

Last week my dental office went to Las Vegas for a dental training. We drove down Wenesday and came home Sunday. The training was at the venetion. It was a very pretty hotel. We stayed off the strip at South point which was a super nice hotel. The days were pretty long, but we managed to get a little fun in.

Las Vegas Strip!

Tubbin it up after a long day of meetings. It felt so nice.

The view of vegas on the flight home. I had to leave a day early because It was my nieces blessing on Sunday. The rest of the office had to drive home. I love flying

I came home on sunday morning to go to Bentleys blessing. Gabe and I barely made it in time. The blessing was at 1, and we drove straight from the airport to the blessing with only a few minutes to spare. The blessing was great. Bentley is so adorable. It was deffinately a great week!

Don't mind my nasty hair. Megan, Kellie, and I all had our own alarms set for that morning, and not one of them went off, so this is my non-showered look:)

Cute little Ludwig family!

Dental Convention

Last week was the annual UDA(Utah Dental Association)convention. It was up in salt lake at the salt palace. We were there thursday and Friday. We had a girls night on thursday and Stayed at the Little America in SLC. We had a blast with a lot of eventful experiences. Like bums asking us for our left overs, Showing up at the howard Johnson express hotel and being disgusted by it and scared for our lives, so Dr. Swenson said he would pay for us to stay at the Little America:), and having the worst waitress ever at the maccaroni grill, where we had to wait and wait for over 2 and a half hours. It was deffinatley unforgettable and a great way to bond with the girls.

Megan, me, Kellie, Mari, Mandy, &Lindsay waiting for the tracks train to take us to Maccaroni Grill.

Riding the tacks. That was my first experience riding the tracks.

This was our scary hotel. It's worse inside. It smelled like mold. So we wanted to all go in on the hotel and not spend atone of money to just stay over night. We looked on line, and the pictures looked great and it looked like a nice hotel. Well, the internet lied. So Dr. Swenson payed for us to go stay at the Little America wich was a lot of fun. Thanks Dr S.

This picture cracks me up. At the convention, one of the dental suppliers Henry Schein was taking pictures of offices on the Harley. We just had to get one. P.s. That's Dr. S's wife on he back with him:) We look pretty hard core don't we.

We had a great time at the convention, even though we were in classes all day long. I love the office that I work for. The girls are the best and we are all such good friends. Dr. S treats us really great too.

A Seafood Valentines!!

We had a really good Valentines day this year! It started off with Luch and a movie. We saw he's just not that into you with The Maughans. We didn't really like it, but it was still fun. After the movie we went over to the Maughans with a bunch of our friends and had a little party. We cooked up ALOT of seafood, steak, salad, and yummy desserts. After we were all stuffed, the girls talked and laughed our heads off, while the guys watched the dunk contest. Romantic huh:) We then topped the night off with our I-pod singing game. We loved being with our friends and sharing valentines with them.

Gabe and Brandon with there Crab legs, they were very yummy!

The ladies with all of our king crab legs. P.S. I use to hate crab, but Gabe made me try it, and now I love it.

Wow we made a mess, but man was it worth it.

Brittany got her finger stuck trying to fish out the crab meat:)

Some of our friends eatin some grub.

Adam, Austin, and Gabe intensively watching the dunk contest

Gabe and Brandon singing a duet blind-folded. This is a really funny game. You have to put the headphones in your ear with the music blaring while blind-folded. SO pretty puch you sing out loud and you can't hear or see anyone laughing there heads off at you. It's a fun game that we love to play.

Hope everyone had a great valentines day!!

Happy Valentines Day!!

So, since Valentines day is coming up, I felt it was appropriate to brag about my amazing husband and the things I love most about him.

1. Gabe is the best husband I could have ever asked for.


2. He is the hardest worker I know


3. He watches the batchelor with me every single monday night.


4. He gives me a back tickle with a smile on his face every night, even if he doesn't want to at all(I love my back tickled).


5. He has a very optimistic personality and is always positive no matter what the situation is.


6. If i'm having a bad day, he always tries his hardest to make it better.


7. He loves the outdoors, which is great because I love being outside too.


8. He is very outgoing and is friendly to everyone


9. He plays board games with me even if he's not in the mood.


10. He is so easy to please, I made hamburger helper for dinner the other night, and he was so greatful and thought it tasted so good:)


11. He's very organized. He organizes the whole house all of the time, which I love.


12. He is a great listener, well as good as a man will listen:)


13. He lets me put my car in the garage every day, while he sacrafices and has to scrape his car in the freezing cold every morning.


14. He likes to be around our friends and family a lot, wich I love to do as well.


15. He's an amasing person, and I couldn't ask for a better guy to spend eternity with. Love you Gabe.

Baby Bentley is here!!

My sister Nicole had her baby Thursday morning! Her name is Bentley Nicole. She weighed 7lbs, 8oz's 19.5 in. long. Nicole had an awesome labor with no compications at all. She did great. Josh and Nicole are already great parents. Bentley is a very good baby. She hardly ever cries and is always just looking around. She is so tiny, her premie clothes drown her:) We are all so excited that she is here. It's so fun to have a baby around. We are so excited to be in her life and can't wait to watch her grow.

I thought I would post this video to show how good and adorable she is!

Basketball Season

So Now that basketball season is in full swing, our lives are pretty much consumed in it. Gabe loves basketball. He would play every day if he could. Him and some of his friends are in an American Fork league. They play every monday night. They are in a pretty tough league. The "A" league. The wives were laughing since they put there selves in that high of a league, but they are deffinately holding there own. They have won three out of four season games. The wives of the b-ball players usually go to the games and cheer them on. We have a lot of fun! We have a lot more games left, so we'll see how we do. Go Wizards!!
