This is our lay over hotel in Denver. Awesome 4 star we would recommend to anyone called "The Renaissance".

Devree's cake that she decorated at Young Women's that has a rose in the center with fondant icing and rose.

We flew out on Thursday and it seemed we got to wear our same Sunday clothes for 3 days straight. It was a glorious reunion with getting to see people in the family that I haven't seen for many years. It was a great time to catch up and reminisce and see what is going on in a lot of our cousins lives. We definitely want to get more reunions going for the Hamblin side and the Mackley side. Enjoy the pictures.

Oh one really important note that I forgot. We did get the results back from Devree's "hot spot". She has arthritis in her spine. According to the Ortho doctor here. They gave me a 10 lb package of all of her CT scans and MRI's and I will be taking them to St. Jude's next week to get their opinion also. But we are happy and relieved!

I have one funny story. As I was walking our little dog on Tuesday morning, a huge dog came with teeth showing and growling and lunged at Low Rider our dog. I didn't have time to pick up our dog so I swung him high around in a circle by his leash trying to yell "NO!" to the big dog. Finally the owner came and got his dog (who was loose) but the big dog lunged again! This time I had picked up Low Rider so he could breathe and finally the big dog got taken away by the owner who was apologizing. As soon as Low Rider could breathe again he started growling. The big dog could've eaten him in one bite!
