Happy Birthday Paul!

So this post is a little late. Paul turned 29 last Friday the 27th, but we were out of town for the weekend so I am a little behind. We decided to go on one last getaway before Crew comes and it just so happened to work out for Paul's Birthday weekend. So last Wednesday we headed down south and spent the night at Tammy's house in Mesquite. On Thursday, Paul and I headed to Vegas and Kate got to spend the night at Tammy's. I found a way good deal online for the Excalbur and when we got there they upgraded us to a suite for free. Two rooms, two bathrooms, two plasma tv's, jetted tub, robe and slippers all for 50 bucks. Not too bad, eh?

We also got a bunch of coupons for free stuff around the casino. So while we were killing time before our show, we wandered around and used them up. Nice action shot, huh?

Paul won a teddy bear for Kate and Crew. He was quite proud of himself.

Free drinks... virgin of course.

We went to the Tournament of Kings dinner show which was quite entertaining. Although I'm not too into ripping apart a whole little chicken.

The next day we did some shopping. It's so strange how we both have way more fun shopping for our kids now. (that feels very strange to say kids) It probably doesn't help that I am hugely pregnant and don't really want to try anything on. I will have to post new pics of my belly soon, I swear it has doubled in size in the last couple of weeks.

This was the longest I have ever left Kate, yes a whole 24 hours. Needless to say, we were very anxious to get back and see her, but it was nice to have some alone time. I was all worried that she would be sad we were gone and not sleep very well, but Tammy said she was a perfect angel. I guess she had som much fun playing with her cousins, she didn't even know we were gone.

On Saturday morning we went to Tammy's ward easter egg hunt with them. Kate loved to waddle around and find the eggs and to play with her cousins. Here she is with cute cousin Hazel.

Of course we had to hit up Judd's in St. George on the way home for some soup and breadsticks. Kate was so worn out from all the fun, she conked right out.


On Sunday, we went to to Paul's house for his birthday dinner. Every year Paul's mom makes all of the kids a German Chocolate cake from scratch for the b days. This year she turned it over to me. So this was my first attempt, and I must say it turned out delicious. It's not much to look at, but Paul was impressed. His dad told my I am finally an official Broadbent.

Happy Birthday baby, we love you!
