Doug left this morning for Las Vegas for the SPREE (Specialty Retail Entrepreneur Expo) Convention. Today is just set up and the event runs Tuesday to Thursday. Our displays and signs look great, so hopefully it will be a productive week. There will be kiosk retailers, gift shop owners, mall managers, airport retailers, etc in attendance, Doug is a great salesperson, and our product is fun and unique (outside of Utah!) so we're hoping the combination will be synergistic and lucrative.

This morning while we were eating breakfast Doug told Jake that he was leaving town and what he'd be doing. He told Jake he was going to "dirty Las Vegas" and Jake was fixated on the dirty part. "It it really messy there? Is there a lot of dirt?" ha! ha! He also told me after Doug left, "I will take care of you, Mommy." :)

Andrew is now 11 months old! He babbles a lot, crawls super fast, stands on his own when he's concentrating and doesn't realize he's doing it, and has 6 teeth. Jake talks a lot, loves to sing songs, read books and play outside, and is really into bubbles right now. I bought plastic Eater Eggs the other day and Jake wanted to know what they were for, so I told him about the Easter Bunny; that he comes and fills the eggs up with candy, then hides them around the house and we have to find them. When he woke up from his nap he cried and cried b/c the Easter Bunny didn't come. Oops! I guess two weeks is too much notice to give about this...
