Three Years never looked sweeter

Bruce and I celebrated 3 years of wedding bliss. I can't believe that 3 years have passed and how quickly time goes.  I truly love him more now then the day we were married.  

Here are the flowers he gave me.  They were amazing roses, with lilies, and hydrangeas,  the greenery they used was beautiful.  He even told me how he helped pull the arrangement together.  They were perfect.

I found this GPS for him and he loves it.  We took it for a test drive bright and early the day of our anniversary.  

Oliver turns 3.

Happy Birthday Oliver.  He turned 3 11/24.  Here is the best photo we have of the little guy.  I think this photo captures his personality.

I always love perspective so below is a photo of Oliver when he was 8 weeks old.  He was 4 lbs. when we brought him home and he always loved sleeping with Bruce.

All grown up and still like to sleep with Bruce.  Notice how big he got over the years.

Just because

So I came home last night from work with these beautiful flowers on the table.  No special occasion - Bruce said he was just thinking about me and wanted to let me know...  what a guy right!!!

Thanks Bruce, I love you!

All Hallow's Eve

So the way we celebrate Halloween over here is that we all get together in the cul-de-sac before the kids go trick-or-treating for a Pizza Party.  It was really fun to see the kids waiting for the eve to come and then they can run from door to door laughing and playing.

Here are the neighborhood kids.  We had the range from a cute little lady bug to the very modern transformer.

One of our friends in the cul-de-sac really gets into Halloween.

 Here is Beth, with her two little kids.

Trip to NYC

This past weekend we got the chance to go up to New York City to see Nicole dance with San Francisco Ballet.  The company was doing a tour of the US and I haven't seen Nicole dance with the company ever so we jumped on the chance. We also got to see some old students and friends.  Friday we got there and I went to see Nicole and Bruce went off to hang out with Mark.  Friday Night was the ballet.  Saturday I got to see a former student from my teaching days at Jose Mateo's Ballet Theatre.  Lastly Bruce and I did a little of the tourist thing and took a ride through central park and ate Ray's Pizza.  

Here is the lobby at City Center

After the show we went out and here are the boys doing really bad Karaoke.

What you do when you are Young Women's President

So in the LDS church we are given callings (kind of like jobs) in different area's of the church.  When Bruce and I came home from Utah I was called to be the Young Women's President. I am now over 15 girls from the age of 12-18.  The first thing I wanted to do is to have a sleepover.  That night we had so much fun, we ate pizza, watched Troop Beverly Hills, played Twister and Catch Phrase and Tp'd Paige Holder's home at 1:00 in the morning.  Bruce was in his office and would occasionally come down to make sure the screaming was just because we are girls and not that someone actually got hurt.

All in to watch Troop Beverly Hills

General Conference

In the LDS church we have the opportunity to listen or watch General Conference.  Bruce and I have made a big deal about this and we like to have friends over with a big brunch for the morning sessions.  This year we had our friends the Hanline's come over and share in our tradition.  

This is the food spread

After many hours on the food network I have figured out how to create a beautiful fruit plate.
