Random Photos

So this is a combination post between Sammy and I. He posted the pictures and the captions, and I get to explain it all. Life has been incredibly hectic these past few weeks, but insanely fun. Sam and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary and decided to celebrate the best way parents can...dropping the sweet kid off at grandparent's for the night and spending a night alone at our very own humble abode. Our night was filled with soda, sweets, movies, sleep, and all the other stuff couples do on their anniversary (wink, wink). The best part of it all was sleeping in until 9:30 (although it doesn't beat waking up to our daughter's sweet babbles)!!

A couple of cute kids playing with the animals at Hee-Haws in Pleasant Grove.

Shanda and I also whisked our kids away to the local Hogle Zoo for some animal fun in the unusually warm October weather.

A stud and his new cape given to him on his birthday.

Sammy celebrated his b-day, and my fam blessed him with his very own BYU flag/cape. Now he can sport his true colors from our balcony. However, two weekends ago he was suffering from a serious case of Cougar let-down and was secretly trying to hide his colors.

What a good looking family. Wow!

Olive Garden just opened in our neck of the woods, and we waited one and a half hours to enjoy a birthday dinner with my fam where we ended up sitting at different tables because there was no room for our large group.

She's as cheesy as her old man.

This is the way she greets cameras, video cameras, and cell-phones.

What did I tell you? Good looking indeed! On the left is Nate Reuss, the lead singer of our favorite band — The Format. On the right is frontman for the band AIDS, uh, I mean Queen - Freddie Mercury.

And this, this is the highlight of our week. Our first annual ROKTOBERFEST was a huge success! We partied hard, Mormon style: endless bottles of root beer, candy craps, fake cigarettes that really blew out smoke if you blew out, and rocking out on Rockband till the wee hours of the night. Wow, what a great time!

The cigarette isn't real... but the rock was oh so real.

And yes, this is how disgusting my hubbie looked that night. I couldn't help but laugh everytime I laid my eyes on him.

Yeah! They worked. I had to come back and see if they were better (the pictures wern't working last time I was here-but are fine now.) I love your spooky shirt with the owl on it! So cute:).
I'm glad you guys are fun and dressed up for something. WE aren't so fun, we never dress up.
