EASTER SUNDAY- April 8th, 2012-On our way to the airport we stopped an d had dinner at "Maggianos".

We had a nice dinner, Ashley was supper excited about the desert.

Yes, this is the Cheesecake I adore.  This is all I wanted for my birthday.

Ashley shared with me and Jesse, I took a few bites and it was heavenly.  Then Ashley and Jess enjoyed the rest together.  After each bite they said "This is wonderful", or "It's amazing", or "This is soooo Good".

Savoring each and every bite to the last.

Mom and Ash outside the restaurant just before we said goodbye and I flew back to Utah.

Thanks mom for taking care of me and coming to be with me.

Ash and Jess, so happy to have had their Italian food and especially the cheesecake.

Thanks for dinner mom

Ashley finally felt pretty good on Saturday April 7th so she got to open her presents from me, dad and Landon. Happy 30th Birthday Ashley.

Landon got Ashley a Life flight shirt from Primary Children s hospital

I really like this shirt.

Ashley and I went to the hospital were she works. She took me into the area she works in-recovery and same day surgery.

These are home in the neighborhood where Ashley and Jess live.

Ash and Jess's home in the distance.

These are the deer we enjoyed watching while we ate dinner. The deer were very close to the house.

Ashley and Jesse's home is lovely and set on an acre of land. Deer come down and eat the grass in their backyard. They just had a snow storm the day before. Their are pine trees everywhere and it is very quiet.

 I went for a walk and took these pictures.

 Deer come down to this area and eat grass.  While we were eating dinner around 6 p.m-we looked out the window and deer were standing in this area eating grass.  We ate dinner and watched the deer.  It was fun.

Olive Garden-Friday April 6th, 2012.

 Ashley and I got soup and salad at the Olive Garden.  Ashley really enjoyed it and said "it tasted sooooo good".  We love Pasta fagole and the salad.

We had such fun together.

I flew to Denver Colorado to be with Ashley for her 30 th birthday. Ash and Jess live in Monument, Colorado.

 Ashley called me Wednesday morning to tell me she had got strep throat from a girl at work.  My flight to Denver was at 3:30p.m.  I encouraged Ashley to get into a Dr. and get on an Antibiotic to treat the strep throat, she did and then her and Jess picked me up at the Denver airport at 5pm.  Ashley had a fever and was really sick.  So I just did as much as I could to help her out.

These are some pictures of the inside of Ashley and Jess's home.  It is so comfortable and has great views to the forests outside.

 View from balcony, Ashley is on the couch watching T.V.  We watched T.V wed night and lots of movies all day on Thursday while she was trying to get better.  I made her homemade chicken noodle soup which was delicious with cornbread.  Ash did not have a great appetite, but I made sure she got plenty of fluids down.  We had plans to do lots of fun things.  I told her sometimes life gives us Lemons and we have to make Lemonade-so that's what we did.

This area is from the family room going into the kitchen area.  Ash has a large kitchen with beautiful views of the pine trees.  I loved her wood flooring.

I took this picture of Ashley on Friday April 6.  She was starting to feel a little bit better, we went out and drove around to see the area of Monument where they live and into Colorado Springs to eat at Olive Garden.  Ashley was getting her appetite a little more and said soup and salad sounds good.(Ashley did not want her picture taken, but she looked so cute)
