SuRpRiSe!!!

After a long day at work on Friday I came home to a surprise! Mike had the overnight bags packed with his things, ready for mine. He had planned a Mother's Day trip to Vegas. I loaded up my things and off we went. We stayed at the Hilton just off the strip. After checking in, we headed out to the strip so we could eat at PF Changs. We ordered way too much food so we were able to bring some home to the kids the next day. They are always happy with leftovers. We didn't spend much time walking amongst the weirdos, but we did get to see the waters at the Billagio, Elvis (a couple of times), the Mad Hatter, and Captain Jack Sparrow (you too can get your picture with him for a small tip:)). The next day we went shopping. That didn't last too long. There are way too many people there and it's way too loud, even in the malls. We had a great time! Thanks Mikey for being so awesome. To add to that, I got breakfast in bed, a book written about me, cookies, Gage gave a talk in church about mothers, Kenzie did laundry & cleaned the house, and Noah participated in a special Mother's Day program on Friday where the whole 4th grade played songs they learned on their recorders and then sang a song while doing sign language. I must be the luckiest mom in the world!
