A PHANTOM BIRTHDAY

For my birthday, David took me friday night to Las Vegas to see the Phantom of the Opera. It was so so so good. I loved it. I especially love the music in it. So good!

We drove to a hotel about 45 minutes away up in the mountains of Las Vegas to a place called Mount Charleston. It was really pretty. It was a little resort surrounded by mountains out of the hot air of Las Vegas. We stayed in a little room that had a balcony overlooking the pond out front. It was nice little getaway. On saturday we went shopping. I don't know if I was worried about money or just couldn't find anything I liked but I did not buy anything. We shopped for hours! What is wrong with me! We decided to come back and David took me to my favorite place, Samurai 21 for dinner. It was so yummy!

Today, we went to church and taught our first lesson.  We now teach sunday school to the 15 year olds and we got the manual like at 9 last night.  Our lesson was not the most prepared lesson but we did ok.  We have 9 kids in our class. Strange cuz our ward is all old people.  But they seem cool.  We are going to dinner at Davids parents house tonight.  They are making me a cake.  Happy Birthday to me. =)

I LOVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE

We all got together and decided to go do a session at the temple the other night. David and I went with his parents and our sister in law Julie. I had never been to the St George temple and I was so excited. It was beautiful! I am so grateful for a temple so close and for amazing people that I can share it with.

4TH OF JULY 2010!

This was the first family vacation David and I had as married people! It was so much fun.

 We took off friday night and drove to bountiful. I forgot how much I loved it there. So we woke up saturday morning and helped my parents with their ward breakfast since they are now on the activities committee. After that we headed to Idaho for the cabin! We got there in the early afternoon and started in on the activities. I played with little Caden and Eric and my cousins little cuties, Kennedy and Kinder.

Curt came with his boat so we got on that and David wakeboarded. I refused to get in the water. It was about 65 degrees in the air so you can imagine how cold that water was. I think i'm just getting too old. =) It is always so much fun hanging out with the cousins.

We watched fireworks over the lake. People on the other end always bring the awesome ones so all we have to do is set up chairs and watch. Of course we did our own cuz there are tons of pyros in the family.

On sunday we went to a baby blessing in Pocatello that we were late to and missed...oops.

We came back and had a surprise baby shower for Kleeda that was really fun. She got so many cute little things. I am so excited for a new baby Broadbent soon!

We left monday late afternoon cuz we had to get in all the skiing and tubing. Not a good idea when you have to work at 9 the next morning in St George. We made it home at 2AM. But so worth the fun family filled weekend!

A TRIP TO THE FALLS

So our neighbors called us up the other night and told us they had dinnner ready for us.  They are from El Salvador and only speak Spanish.  So David likes to practice his Spanish and hang out with them.  She is an amazing cook and makes authentic Mexican food. It is really good.  So we were over there the other night and we all decided to go up to the falls where David proposed to me.  We hopped in the Jeep and headed up there.  They Loved it!  They went and played in the water.  They loved to sit below the waterfall and let the water push them around. 

There are actually 2 waterfalls up there and David thought the water felt so good, he jumped off one of them into the pool below.  He said the water felt so good and wants to go hang out there all the time.  So ...if anyone wants to come down my way, we have somewhere to take you.  It is so beautiful and so much fun.  I was sad because I did not bring my swim suit. So I was the awesome photographer.  It was a super fun place to be on such a hot day!
