I had a wonderful birthday this year. We were able to be in Utah to celebrate with family and friends. Brady had a great idea to go on a hike and enjoy the beautiful day.

I never get over how beautiful the canyons are. After our hike my dad took us out to dinner at Macaroni Grill and to a movie (Prince of Persia).

Thank you for all the gifts and wishes!

Santa Cruz

To celebrate Memorial Day and the beautiful weather in San Fran we went camping and to the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk with some friends.

We'd never been down to Santa Cruz. It was so much fun with all the rides and cute little shops. Puppies weren't allowed so we couldn't go on any rides. Next time Lilly will have to stay home.

Brady wanted to join the beach volleyball tournament.

(The courts were amazing!)

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful sunny day.

For those of you that don't know Lilly she is a little bit of a princess. She was so hot in the sun and trying to crawl under Brady's legs for shade so we made this little cabana for her. She really liked her little shade spot.

Diana and Anisha taking some pics of the amazing scenery while the guys played frisbee.

The Girls

Cute little family:)

We went to this cute little cafe after we left the beach. They had delicious burgers and fries:)

(Not to mention my AMAZING strawberry shake!)

My Friend Heather Joy

My friend Heather came to visit me a couple of weeks ago. It was so great to see her and go sight seeing around San Fran.

Thanks for coming Heath!

Heather and Me in Union Square

Heather and the Heart of San Francisco

We went to a Giants game while Heather was here. It was snuggie give away night. We tried our best to get one, but 20,000 snuggies were given away in 20 minutes. We'll try again next year.

The weather was so amazing while Heather was here. We thought it would be fun to go and visit the Farmer's Market at the Embarcadero.

On the other side of the street near the Embarcadero they have a huge court yard with an art walk and an amazing fountain.

They were giving free drum lessons in the court yard.

After the Farmer's Market we walked over to Fisherman's Wharf.

Then we drove over to see beautiful Lombard Street!

Sunday after church we went into Golden Gate Park and walked around Stow Lake.

I can't wait until the paddle boats are out:)

San Fran is such a beautiful city! We love having visitors so we can visit all the amazing places around the city. Thanks again for coming out Heather.

Miss ya!
