Shipp Family Birthdays

Here are a few pictures from various Shipp family birthdays during the last several months. Nicholas had an outdoor soccer and football party in late December. Sue's friends came and kidnapped her and took her to dinner. And Jensen had a cooking party. All fun times.

Kansas City Royals 2009 Opening Day

Here are a few pictures from our trip out to the "new" Kaufmann Stadium, which has been renovated over the past two years. I was fortunate to know someone in my office who has contacts and was able to get us 3 tickets to opening day, a very popular ticket since it was the first game in the new ballpark. I took Jonathan and Nicholas out of school early and we hit the 3:00pm game time. The boys especially loved playing in the "Little K", where they can field balls being hit by other kids.

Easter Sunday and Jensen's Birthday

Okay, I am giving this a try, so that our parents and siblings can keep up to date with our activities. These are a few pictures from this past Sunday. It was Easter Sunday and also Jensen's birthday. We had an Easter egg hunt in the morning with the kids of our great friends, Matt and Lindsay Larsen. They were also watching a girl of another couple in our ward who had to be rushed to the hospital that morning because the mom nearly cut her finger off (fun). Also pictured is one of Jensen's best and newest friends. She is the daughter of one of Sue's friends from high school and their family just moved here in the last two months. She and Jensen immediately hit it off. Jensen loved having her birhtday on Easter Sunday for the first time since she was born on Easter 11 years ago.
