Shanna's First Birthday

I cannot underline it enough that Shanna's first birthday was the event of the year. We were very pleased that Shawn's parents, Ron and Joyce, (Pop and Grammie), were able to come out from California. (Also that Ron convinced me to start this blog.) Pop as always was very helpful in the kitchen and Grammie did her best to spoil the grandkids.

Brent (Shawn's brother) and his wife, Melinda, also came out from California, with their kids: Jake, Paige, and Noah. We enjoyed their visit and the opportunity to have game night (Settler's of Catan and Bang.) Also, Brent took me to Cottonwood Park and showed me how to play Frisbee Golf. I sure can't fling it as far as Brent, but I improved the second time we went out and actually "birdied" a hole.


Also at the birthday party were my parents, Phil and Pat, and my brother, Todd, and his wife, Leslie, as well as their children: Levi, Benjamin, Connor, and Landon. After, the party, Todd, Brent, and I took some of the kids to the park and threw the frisbees around.
