Sheets Family Vacation at Aspen Grove

Emilie won first place in the women's archery competition.
Paul and I lost every shuffle Board game, big time!
At least we know how to play now. . .
Like father like son.

Emilie and I won the women's doubles badminton tournament.
Matthew playing a killer game of volleyball.
The beautiful view...
Water Aerobics with a little synchronized swimming at the end.
Matt and Paul playing in the ping pong tournament. I won't mention who did or didn't win. . .

Nice view!

Mormon Night at Dodger's Stadium

John Williams Concert at the Hollywood Bowl

California Strawberry Festival

It is my dream to do this someday!

Paul and I met up with some friends from Paul's work at the California Strawberry festival this weekend and had an absolute blast! We ate strawberry shortcake, strawberry smoothies AND chocolate covered strawberries!

Mother's Day Madness

This is our beautiful piano that we inherited from an older couple that moved out of our ward a couple of weeks ago. For mother's day Paul gave me the Wicked piano book. I hope our neighbors love it as much as we do.:) I also wanted to say thank you to everyone that sent us such sweet Birthday cards. As you can see we proudly displayed them on our new piano.

I baked these cinnamon rolls a couple of weeks ago. They take around 3-4 hours to prepare. I hadn't baked anything from scratch in quite sometime so I was pretty proud of myself when they turned out so well. (I thought Natter would be proud too.:)

Happy Birthday To Us!

The Gorillas were our favorite! Aren't they great?!

My Birthday was on May 13th (Mother's Day). We decided to celebrate on Saturday. Paul suprised me by taking me to the Zoo in Santa Barbara. I have wanted to go to the Zoo with him ever since we started dating, but we never got around to it. I was really excited when he told me what we were doing. After the Zoo we walked around old town Santa Barbara, had sushi for lunch and Cold Stone for dessert. Yum!:)

Paul's Birthday was on April 27th. I think I did a really good job of suprising him with his new bike. He looked just like a little boy on Christmas morning. We went to the Ronald Reagan Presidential library to celebrate. I have to say that he really enjoyed it and made sure to stop and watch every video at every display. One of the highlights of this presidential library is the Airforce One jet that was just retired in 2001.

This one's for you Mom!

My mom made these cute coordinating aprons for me and Paul for Christmas. We wore them today while making dinner. We had a delicious Pork roast. Aren't you proud Mom?! (p.s. My hair is turning brown! I hope the California summer sun can change that!)

Picnic In The Park

As noted in the picture above, Paul and his laptop have been almost inseperable as he has been studying for the CPA. I sure hope he passed the last part of the exam! We'll let you know as soon as we hear next month.

Sweet Greeting. . .

I spent Spring Break in UT and had a great time! But, Paul and I really missed each other. I couldn't wait to see him when I arrived at the airport. What a plesant suprise it was when he arrived with a bouquet of a dozen beautiful roses in my favorite colors!
