We're back!

We had a blast in Vegas! Nick's parents wanted to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary and Sue's 60th Birthday in style and we totally did.

I missed Ellie and Jack so much, but it was really nice to get away and not have to worry about getting up in the middle of the night, changing poopy diapers or feeding. I think Ellie was really happy to see us because she did a little dance and gave out some pretty big hugs. Jack is okay with anyone holding him, feeding him or any attention. Vegas was extra awesome this time because I won a little jackpot! I am usually a blackjack player, but played some slots and ended up winning $750! It was so exciting! Nick couldn't believe it. We saw the Jersey Boys at the Palazzo and it was awesome. All the kids got the tickets as a gift for Nick's parents 40th wedding anniversary and when we got there Nick's dad talked one of the ushers to moving us to better seats. The seats were sooo good. We also had some really good food, including hibachi one night. We stayed at the Encore which is part of the Wynn. I've been to a lot of hotels and I can say it was probably one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed at - even better than the Ritz on Maui. (not kidding).

One our way!

Mochi ice cream. Everyone's first time eating it (except mine) and they loved it!

A couple of pics

I didn't take many pictures in Vegas, but here are a couple I did get. This is on top of the Rio overlooking the strip at sunset. As you can see in the second picture, everyone was 'feeling' really good at this point. I guess that's what happens when you start drinking at 2! I on the otherhand was full from my strawberry-banana smoothie:)

Back to reality

Well, I'm back at work. This means that we did not win it big in Vegas, but we had a great time though! We walked so much my ankles still hurt -has nothing to do with my wedge sandels I wore :) or being pregnant. 

I thought that being in Vegas for 3 full days would be a little too long, but it was just the amount of time to shop, eat, gamble, relax and watch everyone drink. We left Sunday night and were exhausted because we had spent the whole day taking care of Ellie. She woke up that morning very crabby and threw up several times. She was so lathargic and just wanted to lay on the couch with one of us. It was very hard to leave her because I've never seen her this sick. She pretty much ate popsicles and laid around all day. The next morning my mom called to say that she was totally back to normal! Sometimes I think Ellie is a really good actress.

We went to the Pawn Shop. Nick and I are really into the Pawn Stars show, so we wanted to check out the place. It's kind of a dump, but it was fun to see.

Here is a picture of us at the buffet at the Wynn. This is after we ate - Nick totally has a fake smile because he is soooo stuffed. I told him that is how I feel everytime I eat because when you are pregnant there isn't much room for food!
