BIRTHDAY, I think I still like having them!?!?!?!?

So Saturday I again grew a year older. I woke up to my son and wife and realized what a blessing they are in my life. My wife took Tanner and I out to breakfast at a Greek restaurant that just started serving breakfast. I had a Greek omelet that had lamb and feta cheese and some other stuff that was really good. Tanner and Caitlin had Toast with jam(tanners favorite) and Caitlin had a BYOC(build your own crepe. It was definitely not your everyday breakfast but was a great change in the scheme of things. After ward we went home and put Tanner down for a nap while I went to get my hair cut. We then headed over to a photographer that cost entirely too much but the sitting fee was free because of Presley our puppy. We did that for an hour then came home and got dressed for dinner and the show. We ran out to a friends house, Raelene, to drop tanner off for the night. It sure is nice to have good friends that you can trust. Caitlin and I then went out to Scottsdale for dinner as we had a Goupon to use. It was at an excellent Thai restaurant named, Mailee's on Main. It was exquisite. We then drove 5 mile to a Drive In movie. Where we watched, "The Princess and the Frog" as well as " A Christmas Carol." We liked both even though they definitely had their dark sides as the Princess and the Frog was based in New Orleans where they have a lot of Voodoo and such and the Christmas Carol, Caitlin says that it follows the book really closely and she admired that. Other than that we didn't do much of anything, that is except to go and pick Tanner back up from Raelene. Now to bed to wake in the morning to go back to work to help change the life of others for the better.

Another weekend come and GONE

Why is it that when we are doing things that we truly enjoy it seems that time speeds up and when we are doing things that aren't enjoyable time stops. This weekend was awesome other than it had come and gone before it was here, or so it seems. We took a trip up to Kingman to help out with the Blessing of Rochelle's son Hunter. It was the first time that we were able to see him as he is only a month old. We went up Friday after work and watched a little NFR with my mom. The next day we slept in a little and then went shopping in Kingman as well as Bullhead. We found some really good deals including a suit that was originally around 300 dollars and bought it for 56ish. Also finished up our Christmas shopping that we could and were able to find our Christmas ornaments for everyone. My mother also found some really neat penguin ornaments. Sunday came and we went to Church and had the blessings. Afterward the Stucki family had us over for lunch, which was really good. Then we headed back over to mom and dad's and finished packing and came home to do homework and get to bed. Caitlin and I have a really important meeting tomorrow with the VP of the Apollo Grp.
On another note, Caitlin has finished her first class and is now in math. It isn't her favorite subject but she is much better at it then she would ever let anyone know. I am almost done with my first two classes and doing well so far. I have my final project due next Friday and will then be done with my first block of classes. Then i will only have 6 more blocks to finish my Associates degree and am excited to get to that point and begin my BSB. I will see about pictures of my suit when I finish the hemming.

December Starts

Well another month has com and gone and so far I think that I am doing much better at posting more ofter to keep all updated. We had a wonderful Thankgiving vacation and hope that everyone else did as well. We had the opportunity to go out to California to spend the holiday with Caitlin's family and had an awesome time. We took tanner to the ocean for the second time in his life and he had a blast playing in the sand on the beach but wan't so happy with the 65 degree water that dad(nicolas) helped him to experience. Our family also had the chance to meet our little nephew on Caitlin's side, Bodhi (I hope that I spelled it right if not let me know and i will go in and change it). He is a little bundle of joy and seemed happy as long as there was food going into his belly:) Tanner also enjoys sail boats, although for lack of a jacket we just stay docked. Below are some pictures we took please enojoy.

Tanner was so tired on turkeyday that he fell off

Talk about a load of fun.... We just took Tanner to Bass Pro Shop to get pictures taken with santa...he was absolutely mad as could be and is crying in the picture, I will post it later. Now time to eat a little surf and turf.
On some other new I just bought a new laptop for school and am now able to skype so if anyone would like to contact us and we can set up a time sunday afternoon is the best time

So we had a somewhat uneventful weekend. We started early saturday morning by waking up and letting presley out to go the bathroom. We went out and practiced fetching a little toy pheasant. He was able to retrieve and release on command. We then proceeded to the puppies first vet visit. He did well and everything checked out number one A O K. Next we went to a presentation and won a free trip and 150 dollars worth of food. We finished by watching some movies. By the way G.I.Joe was an awesome movie. Sunday we didn't do much other than some homework and start to clean up. It is just the four of us now, caitlin, tanner, presley, and I. I tried hard as I might but tanner was insistent on being like presley including barking and crawling on the ground and begging.

Well, I guess you could say that was a fun weekend. The only reason that I would say it wasn't is that the whole reason we went to Las Vegas was to go and see the actors kellan lutz and ashley greene. We were able to see them but there were so many people that it drove us nuts. On the brightside we all had fun and I even got a chance to go hunting with my dad for quail we was a blast. Now we are home and katy caitlin and I all have work in the morning so for me it is off to bed
