I (Heart) the Padres!

Spring Training is in full force here in Arizona. I was fortunate enough to travel to the westside to go see my boys (the Padres) play some ball against the Giants and the Angels. Of all my years here in AZ, I had never been to a Spring Training game. It was also a bonus cause the Szokas and both Sorensen families came out from San Diego to watch as well. It was so great to see everyone. We had such a great time and miss these people dearly(they are like 2nd families to me!) The games were great and I also got to see my boy Tony play a really great game! Thanks again Mike and Kathy for inviting us...hope to see you guys next year!

Beer Fest!

.


I know its been awhile....Me and Mike got a chance to go to AZ Beerfest at Tempe Town Lake at the beginning of March. We invited Mike and Dana to join us. 4 hours of tasting yummy beer was so much fun. We tried a lot new beers and got see some of our favs (New Beligum, O'Dell's, New Moon) It was a gorgeous day and could have had a better time!

Happy Birthday to O'Hara

Last Day in Denver...

After a fun filled weekend with Sean and Heather, it sure was hard saying goodbye. We had so much fun and made so many new memories. Our last day we hung around the house, went on an excursion to find an Asian market. Mike made his famous pork and bean sauce dish while me and Heather did some quick sewing. We made it over the river to check out a super cute neighborhood with this cute little creamery called Little Man Ice Cream. Loved the decor and the milk bottle shaped building. We just had to get some yummy ice cream (in 20 degree weather!). We hope to visit them soon hopefully in the summer! Love you guys and miss you!

Snowboarding!!!

Jeff helping me...by the end of the day I wasn't doing half bad!

One of the main reasons we went to Colorado (during the winter!!) was to take advantage of the awesome resorts they have. Heather and Sean go snowboarding every week(before Sean shattered his wrist) and so they took us to their favorite mountain Breckinridge for a fun day of boarding. This was my second time snowboarding so I was a little rusty..Jeff was sure a good teacher. Breckinridge was such a huge mountain..it made Snowbowl look like a kiddie park. It was also my first time in snow that was falling. It was so cool. Can't wait to go back next winter!

Exploring Downtown Denver

After having a great New Years Eve night, the next day we kinda bummed around. The boys played X-Box while me and Heath slept. That afternoon we decided to go sightseeing. We went for a walk back to the 16th St. Mall. Cute little shops and a Starbucks on every corner. We also made our way over to the biggest REI ever. Holy moly 3 stories of outdoor stuff! The picture above is taken on the bridge with Denver in the background.

Happy New Years!

After taking a nap from our adventures to the breweries...we got ready for a fun filled night out in Downtown Denver. Keep in mind it was 20 degrees outside( I had 5 layers on!) Sean and Heather have a favorite bar they like to go to.... Lizards. That's were we started the night and that's were we ended the night! One of the bartenders there Scotty hooked us up with free drinks all night. Around 11:30 we made our way to the 16th St Mall for the firework display which was so pretty. When we returned to Lizards...they were giving out free champagne....needless to say we had a flow of champagne coming our way the rest of the night. We had tons of fun dancing to the live band and just having a good time with great friends...Happy New Year!
