My birthday

Celebrating 25 Years
November 14, 1984-November 14, 2009

It was a wonderful day that consisted of Eli blowing off his homework, at my request, so we could spend the day together watching Smallville, since we are pretty much obsessed right now, and eating at Five Guys Burgers and Fries (which is THE BEST burger joint ever) with our friends Amy, Arthur, and Mia (just kidding Amy) Maya. They even treated us to Cold Stone ice cream. It was a great relaxing day. Cause now that I am so old I can't do a whole lot that I used to besides just resting and relaxing...just kidding. Eli was the best though, he did all the dishes and cleaned our house while I was gone to a meeting the next day. He said he was just earning "velvet bucks" which I am sure he has enough to start his own bank. It was a great day with friends and family.

All Hallows Eve

This year the festivities consisted of a late afternoon ward trunk or treat partay! We LOVE halloween, so of course we all dress up. This year's theme was centered around Eli's brilliant costume. Rummaging through the old Williams Ward Church building before it was torn down, he happened to come across an old Williams Ward basketball jersey. The scary thing is that it was a legitimate uniform...it was actually worn in public. It would have been classic without the T-shirt and spandex underneath, but for the sake of the ward members we thought maybe it would be a good idea to indeed wear the spandex. It turned out to be pretty chilly so it was a good thing. So, Eli is the 70's basketball player, I'm the 70's cheerleader, and Axel is the ref.
It was a great Halloween.

That's the love of my life right there. Where was he all of my life?
One happy, but really wierd and gooberish-type family!!
