Holy SHNIKIES!!!!!!!

My birthday was yesterday and Clark had this elaborate surprise for me. I had NO idea where we were going or what we were doing! Clark's sister, Liz, took Lils and Ebay for the the day and Clark, Rose, and I just started driving. I kept trying to guess where we were headed, what we were doing... nothing made sense! Then I noticed we were getting closer and closer to San Francisco... then past the city to this random beach/cliff area where I saw some large kites.... "are we going to go fly some large kites, Clark?" I asked, teasing, thinking we had made a wrong turn... "wait a minute those aren't kites", I thought... "ARE WE GOING HANG GLIDING????!!!!!" I SCREAMED!!!!! YES! We were going hang gliding!!! Clark had been planning this for a month! I have always wanted to go and when Dave was in Brazil two years ago and went hang gliding in Rio De Janeiro, I almost killed him!!! :) But yesterday was my turn! It was really cold and windy in San Fran, but I didn't care... plus, I was really glad it was windy! :)

We met Gordon, the pilot, and I signed my life away on some forms. Then I got strapped in and we ran off the cliff! What a feeling! It was incredible! Right there on the coast there is a VERY strong up-draft of wind that goes from the ocean below and hits the cliffs and goes up. So we soared down the coast line on the glider. Gordon did a bunch of really cool dives and 360's while we were up there. But mostly we just soared around and floated on the breeze. We were up there for a half hour and my feet were starting to go numb from the cold. Landing was a really neat feeling too. Oh man, what an incredible surprise! Clark is the best ever! Happy birthday to me!

Rose's baby blessing.

Rose was blessed in church on Sunday. It was a beautiful blessing! My Mom, Clark's parent's, Clark's sister and her family, and brother Jeff and his girlfriend were all able to come. It was so wonderful! As a parent, it's one of those moments that make all the craziness of a new baby go away and you really can focus and see your child as this wonderful, sweet little spirit from heaven! She's been such a little joy in our home. Our ward building is right beside the Sacramento Temple, so we get to go there every week! It's been really great to see the temple every week, and the kids love it. There are always wild turkeys roaming around the temple grounds, too, which is pretty crazy, so we try to see who can find the wild turkeys first!

4th of July weekend!

Here are just a few pictures of our 4th of July weekend! We were up in Oroville with Clark's fam and had a great time! Here are the 10 of 14 grandkids on Clark's side in "Fairytale Town" and our first family photo with our new little baby Rose. She's 6 weeks old now-
