Calogero turned 26 on Sunday May 10th (Happy Birthday Babe!) he had an awesome birthday weekend even though he had to share it with Mothers Day this year. Friday we went and saw Wolverine (thanks Shane and Ash), Saturday Shane took Calogero golfing at Wasatch and then we did dinner at Porcupine Grill.
I also gave Calogero all of his birthday stuff on Saturday. As you can see from the picture there are some goldfish included in his birthday gifts. Why you ask? Let me tell you. If you have had a conversation with Calogero in the past 3 years you have no doubt heard how badly he wants a dog! Well this year I said lets get one for your birthday! (I'm not really ready but I can't take the dog emails, and photos of possible pets for us any longer so I thought lets do this it will be fun!) Well surprise surprise Calog said no so as a joke I got him a back-up pet to fill in until he's ready. So Stew and Stanley became part of our family on Saturday and then both passed away by Sunday. (Isn't it funny how God made a creature with such a short life span, alive on Saturday floating on the top of the bowl by Sunday night!)

Calogero and I went to Church on Sunday morning with my Mom and Dad and heard a great sermon from the pastors wife. Then we went to lunch with my Mom, Dad, and Grandpa. My brothers were both in the Philippines but since my Mother had her favorite child with her it was still a GREAT Mother's Day! Then later that day we did dinner with Vita and Pino to celebrate Mothers Day and Birthdays all at once. It was a great day but I ate way to much.
Andrew and Matthew came home from the Philippines on Tuesday. They went with Collide School of Ministry where both of them are students. This trip was to minister to the people of the Philippines, but I know that each of them were also really touched by the love and graciousness they were greeted with. They had an amazing time but I missed them and am so glad they are home! They sent us update videos while they gone you should check them out: go to http://www.youtube.com/ and then search under CollideSOM and their videos will pop up. Oh yeah so you know how pretty much all of your shoes, jeans, and bags say: MADE IN THE PHILIPPINES? Well when orders don't get shipped out they go to this market and are sold to locals for crazy cheap prices. My brothers got True Religion Jeans for $20, Diesel and Lacosta shoes for $15 and Coach bags $30 and not knock offs the real thing, Jealous! Just thought I would share that. Good luck with finals this week you two Love YA! 
Well there is my update but there will be more soon!
