Happy Birthday Dad!

 We all know what 5-17 means at our house...it's dad's birthday!  Today we had a little gathering to celebrate!  The best part was watching the kids with the cake!  So much fun!  Dad and mom went to San Diego to see a Padres game on Saturday to celebrate (the tickets were my gift to him).  Gotta love the faces on the boys!

Sister Sharp...we meet again!

This morning we went to Sacrament Meeting with Keith, Lianne & Emily.  After the meeting we drove to the Denver Temple and met with my first companion in Japan, Erica Sharp Shields.  It was so much fun to see her and to meet her family!  She helped me lay the foundation for a good mission and she will always be important to me.

Friends & Family are the BEST!

We picked this weekend in order to support Stephanie’s family and their annual 5K.  Kate and Melinda ran it and Corrine walked it!  They all did a great job!  It was very inspiring to watch everyone as they came across the finish line.

After quick showers we headed to downtown and met up with our Barlow cousins – Kim, Wendy & Jill.  We met for lunch at The Cheesecake Factory.  I have not seen them in many, many years.  It was so much fun to visit and catch up! 

Tonight’s activity was a lot of FUN and very COLD.  We met with Keith, Lianne & Emily at the ballpark to see the Rockies play!  The field and stadium was beautiful.  We were able to walk all around the park.  Keith got us fantastic tickets right behind home plate!  The wind was blowing and so we were all cuddling together to stay warm. 

A quick trip to Denver

Today we started our quick trip to Denver Colorado!  Corrine and I flew different airlines because we were utilizing our free tickets.  Due to the weather in Denver all of our flights were delayed.  We finally made it to Denver and had a great dinner with Stephanie and her husband Jake.

Happy Mother's Day

Today is a day I am reminded how lucky I am to have such a wonderful family!  I have the world's best MOM!  I hope I can be half the person she is!  She never ceases to amaze me!  Love you MOM!

I also have wonderful siblings and today McKay and his kids put a smile on my face!  Thanks to McKay, Anna, Carly, Mac and Brad!  I love you!
