Static shock

Our couch is a major producer of static electricity.  Seriously, I think we could leave our batteries on it and they would recharge.  At any rate, after laying on it, this is what happens.  Hannah, of course, thinks this is the greatest thing ever.

Once there was a snowman...

I think this is pretty cool.

Happy Birthday Mom!

This week was my mother's 60th birthday (the day before Seth's third!), and we went to Colorado Springs to throw her a surprise party.  The only still photos we have from our video camera are of the boffo cake that Stacey made, so here it is.  Happy Birthday, Mom!  May the next sixty years be even better than the first sixty.

Happy Birthday Seth!

Seth, our baby, turned three years old this week.    What a great ride the last three years have been for us.  We're looking forward to the rest of infinity (and beyond)! Anybody that knows him could probably guess who was on his Birthday cake.  Happy Birthday, Seth!  We love you!

Caribbean Vacation

Stacey and I had a really great trip to Santo Domingo. We got to be tourists, go to the beach, go to the temple, hit some really great restaurants, experience the lack of traffic laws, attend church in one of my old areas (a couple of members even remembered me!), and just have a great time. Oh yeah, I did get in some work as well. On the downside, our camera was stolen, so we don't really have any great photos. We managed to buy some disposable cameras and take a few shots, but the quality, of course, is much less than what we had on the digital camera. At any rate, here are a few of our favorites.

About 100 yards out into the water at Boca Chica beach.  

Same pose, very different setting.

A full view of the temple.  Going there really was a dream come true.

Got milk?

Family Home Evening and Milkshakes--a match made in Heaven.

Steak and Ice Cream

Last week we got to go to Elway's Steakhouse to help my cousin Geoffrey celebrate his birthday. I'm happy to report that I finished every bite of my outrageously tasty 12 oz. filet. Geoffrey, however, could not finish off his 33 oz. porterhouse--that thing was a monster! We had a great time and are grateful to Jo and Spike for the fabulous evening. Happy Birthday Geoffrey!
