Memorial Day Weekend 2011

This year we went to Denver for Memorial Day weekend to visit family and run the Bolder Boulder. The best part was getting to meet the newest edition to the family, baby Ellie! She is so so cute!


We celebrated Dan's birthday...Happy Birthday Daddy!


Here we are with cute baby Ellie...


Such a cute family!


Mason was pooped...


I decided to run this year! I don't think I would have made it I didn't have Benja running it with me! Here we are at the starting line...


This is after...couldn't have been that bad if we are smiling, right?


Here's everyone that ran this year...



Party at Jon and Benja's house...

Happy 3rd Birthday Mason!

Our little guy Mason turned 3 this week! People always tell me how fast it goes by, and I think I am finally starting to see that.

So, for Mason's birthday, we started with a stack of waffles and pancakes with candles on top. Then we took Mason to his new favorite place, Monkey Island, which is a warehouse full of bounce houses.

And on Saturday, the 12th, we had a birthday party for him. Pizza and cake at our house followed by, yep, Monkey Island!

It is such a joy for us to watch Mason grow and learn. We love him so much and are reminded everyday, especially on his birthday, how blessed we are to have him in our lives. Happy Birthday Mason!

Tahitian Noni Caribbean Cruise

Ok, so I just have to say that Dan works for an awesome company! They bought an entire cruise boat for one of their international conventions and thankfully invited some of their employees to attend!

We had an absolutely fabulous time! Our ports were Ocho Rios, Jamaica, Labadee, Haiti, and Nassau, Bahamas. All beautiful locations! The boat was loaded with things to do! There was a flow rider (water wave you can boogie board or surf), a rock wall, and an ice skating rink. When Dan wasn't at meetings he was constantly on the flow rider or climbing the rock wall. In the evenings we would all have dinner together and then go a show or two... I saw my first ice skating show! And then there was the karaoke! Dan works with some of the funniest people, so you can only imagine how funny some of the karaoke performances were! And yes, Dan and I actually got up on stage and sang the song "Like a Virgin" by Madonna! I don't know what we were thinking. And then, to end the evenings, Dan and I would go to the dance club and dance till we couldn't dance anymore. We were exhausted, but loved every minute!

Here are some of the pictures....



This is the Flow Rider...Dan is really good at it...me, not so much.

This is the view of the boat from the beach on Labadee, Haiti







We got a private tour of the bridge while they were leaving Labadee, so we got to watch how they operate the boat. There are lots of computer screens.
Here's a picture of Me and Alfa in the bridge.




Here's Dan and I at the dance club...


Dan and Todd...


This is Ryan and Meg...we were fortunate to meet them on the cruise and just fell in love with them!



On the evening of our return, we treated my Mom and Reid to some In and Out burger. You have to be able to say that you have at least had In and Out burger once!



Here's my Mom and Reid...


We had a very memorable trip and are so grateful that Dan works for such a wonderful company! We are also grateful for my Mom being able to stay with Mason while we were gone. Mason always loves spending time with his grand parents! We both have such wonderful parents that are there for us when we need them...we are truly blessed.
