Last night was amazing. If you are ever in Denver, CO go to a place called Zango's. They have the most amazing food and atmosphere. Quite expensive but well worth it. Of course, the company was great also. We decided to stay an extra day in Denver so we could hang out with Phil's sister Rebecca and her husband a little more. Today was fun as well. We got to walk around downtown Denver and see some sites. The Brown Palace is so beautiful. It is a hotel in Denver built by Molly Brown from the Titanic. It looks just like the dining area on the Titanic. We had tea and desserts with the kids today. It was fun but a little too elegant for children (in my opinion).
We are, alas, heading home tomorrow. This has been a whirlwind week but a lot of fun. Seeing younger siblings getting married and a baby joining the church was amazing. So many wonderful blessings in our life. Sometimes I forget them and have to be reminded.

Denver Trip Day ???
Ok, I haven't blogged for a few days because it's been so busy. Let's see, Friday we visited New Belgium Brewing Company in Fort Collins, CO. They make our favorite beer 1554 and Fat Tire. It was neat. Small company that recycle a ton of stuff and use wind power to power the brewery. It's very small but interesting. Friday night consisted on the rehearsal dinner of Auth Chili Mac and salad with Grandma Auth's salad dressing. The two families mingled together (kinda). Saturday morning was very relaxing for me. I went to my sil's house to get ready for my other sil's wedding. We got pictures taken before the ceremony which I believe is really odd because you are not actually married in your wedding pictures but I guess that is the way most people do it these days. The rehearsal dinner was at Fr. Mike's house where it rained off and on (making the bride very happy, odd i know).
Ok, now today Sunday was the baptism of my God daughter Hannah Clair. We were more involved in the mass than I thought we would be but it was awesome. I got to hold her while she was being baptized. She was asleep when we started and promptly woke up when the Holy water was poured over her head. She didn't seem to mind.
Ok, the next couple of days will hopefully be a little more relaxing. I will probably blog more in a few days.

Denver Day 3
Wednesday June 17th
We traveled from Green River, UT to Denver CO. It took us 10 hours. Normally just driving should have taken about 6 hours. We stopped at Arches National Park for a few hours driving around and hiking a little. It was amazing. The rock formations are beautiful. Erik didn't like any of the hikes until the last one where he basically went rock climbing. I was a nervous Nelly watching him and Phil with Sarah on his back scaling rocks. It was a fun family experience. Then we got in the car and drove FOREVER. We had to deal with some "road construction" The reason I put it in quotes was because they were not actually doing construction just putting up cones to close a lane so we were driving about 10 mph for about 45 min. We finally got into Denver and to our rental house by 10pm. It felt good to sleep even though the kids woke up a few times in the night due to being in a strange place.
Today (Thursday) has been very relaxing so far. Today we will be starting the wedding stuff like bachlorette party and such. I am feeling a little under the weather due to lack of sleep but hopefully I will get better.
We are enjoying our trip so far... More pictures on facebook...
