Vegas Baby

For Lees birthday last week, I surprised him with a little weekend get away to Vegas. I got a great deal on Airfare, and hotel. This was our first time away from Kate. We left Kate with my parents( thanks again) and they were so excited to have her all weekend. It was so hard to leave her we both were crying (more me than Lee) when we handed her off, but she loves her grandparents and I knew she would have so much fun with them.
We left early on Friday morning, we checked into our hotel the Tropicana, then hit the strip. First of all here are the pictures of our classic Las Vegas room, mirrors and all, kind of kinky!!

Yep that's right on the ceiling

Friday was so nice we checked out all the Casinos , came back to our hotel after a while and took a long nap (times like this we were not missing our Katie Bug). After nap time we decided to head to the stratosphere to ride the rides. My dad sold the rides on top so I had been there and rode them many times but this was Lees first time, and he sure did scream like a little girl. But it was so fun. A piece of advice for those going to vegas in their lifetimes, DON'T WALK ALL THE WAY TO THE STRATOSPHERE!!! We thought, oh it is not that far, we can walk it, well an hour and a half later we finally made it and we were exhausted. So just pay the money and ride the bus.

Ya gotta love the M&M Factory

Yes I did gamble, but it was only $1.00

At the Bilogio. My fav casino

On Saturday we slept in until 10am and then hit up the pool. This was one of the highlights of the trip, it was so wonderful to sit in the sun with my headphones in and just relax, not a care in the world. So so nice. Later that night we went to the Excalibur for the mid-evil dinner and show, it was pretty darn fun. Below is a picture of dinner, I had no idea that we would not have any utensils, It was kind of gross tearing into the chicken and eating like a heathen, but it was tasty.By Sunday we were ready to be home and were more than ready to see our baby girl. Over all we had such a great time. It was so wonderful to spend time with just the two of us, sleeping in, playing cards in our room, just walking the strip holding hands. I loved it all.

Happy Birthday Lee. I love you.

I had to add this picture. I gave Kate her first pedicure. It turned our pretty cute. Man I just love my little girl.

Easter and 6 months

I hope that everyone had a Happy Easter. The Wilson Family had a great one. My brother came up from Salt Lake and we spend all weekend together. Lee and Jon went golfing, Lee was so excited he had been waiting for the snow to melt. We ate so much food over the weekend. Sunday we had the Hansen Family egg hunt, Kate was not to fast at gathering the eggs but I helped her and I also helped her eat the candy!! I love my family, I am so greatful that I am so close with my cousins, aunts and uncles, and that we get together often. Here are some pictures: Kate in her new Easter dress with her basket and eggs

My cousin Amie, her baby Kennlyn, Kate and I. I love that Amie and I are the same age and grew up together and now we both have girls that can play together also. They both are just so adorable. They are just 6 weeks apart.

(Kate experiencing her first popcicle, LOVED IT)

Not only was Sunday Easter but it was Kates 6 month mark. It blows my mind that she is that old and she is so big. Where does the time go. She is now sitting up like a champ, rolling over, slobbering up a storm, and melting our hearts every day. She is a good eater and a great sleeper. We are so greatful for her and thank our Father in Heaven every day for her. We love our little Monkey!!
