Wicked!

Last month we had the opportunity to go see one of my favorite musicals. Wicked!!! It was my third time going but Todd's first. We started our day by going to the temple for a good friends sealing. Then we hopped on to Bart to head into the city.
We had a blast seeing Wicked with our good friends the Jacksons and Mauchelys. After the show we all headed back into Pleasanton and met up at Cheesecake Factory for a delicious dinner and dessert! Overall it was a long day but soooo worth it!

Our Crazy Summer!!!

This summer started off a little crazy in the Barth Family. In the beginning of the year I was asked to be the 4th year counselor at Turlock Stake Girls Camp. Along with being in charge of 30 girls, I was also in charge of the "overnight hike" the 4th years go on. Luck for meTodd was asked to go as preisthood for the hike. The girls did great all week with not too much drama! Aside from being up sick all night (FYI- NOT prego sick) the day before we left on our 13 mile hike everything went perfectly. The only problem now is that Todd told me we are no longer aloud to have girls... I think girls camp was a little of a shock for him!

4 days later was Todd's birthday and the day my mom and I headed to Australia to visit my oldest brother and his family. We had Todd's b-day dinner on the way to the airport as well as presents in the car.



My mom and I were in AU for 2 fun weeks. I'm just glad that my awesome husband let me go for that long. I guess the perk for him was dinner out with my dad and a few rounds of golf!

We had a quick trip up to the cabin for the 4th along with Todd's parents and 2 of his sisters.

Finally on July 10th our good friends McKae and Nate King were married in the Oakland Temple. They are such a cute couple! We had a blast up at the temple with them and then that night at the reception.

Memorial Day

Memorial Day was started off with a wonderful morning of sleeping in. I don't think I've slept in for at least 2 months! It was great. Poor Todd wasn't able to sleep in though and was up by 7am. Then we relaxed and cleaned up the house a bit. Later that afternoon we met up with Whitney's dad and grandpa and played a nice round of golf. The weather was perfect... our games, not so much! We ended the night off with a great dinner at MiMi's Cafe and a trip to the grocery store. Overall we had a great Memorial day!

Our Place

So, this post is mainly for the siblings who live out of state and the country. We thought we would give you a little tour of our place.

Our Little bathroom

The Piano

Kitchen/Dining room... notice the lovely CARPET under the table. We eat extra cautiously!

The bookshelf next to the loveseat (Todd didn't get any pictures of the whole wall with the loveseat on it)

The awesome hand-me-down couch that has been passed down from uncle to brother to us!

The office bookshelves. Sorry about the chair in the way.

The bedroom

Virginia

During spring break I had planned to go to Virginia to visit my brother and his family but while when I bought the tickets my brother surprised us and bought Todd one too! We had a blast while we were there. It ws sad to have to come home back to reality. Sienna, Porter, and Whitney- Pay no attention to the fact that Whitney just woke up!

I absolutely love this picture of the DC temple. I couldn't resist with how beautiful the tulips were.

Out in front of the Washington Monument

Handsome little Porter

Sienna and her new bike

We had so much fun visiting the sites and just spending time with everybody. We can't wait until we can go back.

A Weekend at the Cabin

A group of us went up to Barths cabin in Pinecrest. Todd, Tara, and I went up on Friday night right after work. Heather joined us the next morning bright and early. Tom, Natalie, and Jacen joined us later Saturday night.

We spent the day playing games and EATING food.
Notice how the girls are the ones in the kitchen... thanks for the help boys.

I was really sick that weekend so most of the time I was in bed or by the fire keeping warm.

Tara and Heather

Tara was definately excited for the weekend away from life.
