Happy Birthday!

Ok, so yeah, this is sort of late. I've sold my life away to work and school.

This past week has been full of birthdays! On January 14th Heather turned 23. By best friend is becoming an old fart. :oP Not really-it's just fun to say that. We went to this awesome reptile store so she could look at leopard geckos. Her sweet brothers were going to buy her one since Stitch decided to elope. It was the most amazing place I've ever seen. My mom is just lucky I didn't bring home a snake. Heather ended up getting her gecko at Petsmart, but it was still fun to visit. After Algernon got settled in his new home, we played Dance Dance Revolution for probably way too long of a time. What can I say? It's addicting. She had ribs for dinner at Outback and Culver's ice cream cake. And she had the best birthday presents a girl can ask for. *coughMr.Pcough* ;o)

Aaron's birthday was yesterday, the 18th. He's getting so old. And big. *sniff* I got to spend the morning and afternoon of his birthday at work. Mom made chicken enchiladas for dinner and then we had cake and Oberweis chocolate chip cookie dough icecream. It only comes in pints, so Aaron got a whole one to himself. Unfortunately, the first one he got didn't have any cookie dough pieces in it. Oops. Then I had to spend the rest of the night getting culturally diversified in my Soc class. At least Aaron had a great day. Especially since I got him Santa boxers as part of his present. :o)


Ready for house-wifely duties.


Heather knows how to put these away.


This turning 16 year old stuff is a piece of cake.


Can you say yum?


My little (big) brother.

Yes Sir, That's My Danny

Say goodbye to the Big Man and hello to Ambitech. Dan now has his foot in the door. He's Ambitech's newest drafter.


What a handsome guy!


His cube is looking a little empty, but I love that picture on his desk. :oP

Happy New Year

Happy New Year! This weekend we had the Aldrins, Anthony and Lour, Deena, and Randy over for our New Years Eve party. We had great fun.


Mom and Dad.


How come Sugar looks so sweet and innocent whenever the Aldrins are around??? They can have her.


Aaron looks gi-normous.


Playing with knives.


Oh my.


Too cool.


Kara was very entertaining.


That's my Dan.


Mr. and Mrs. Aldrin.


Randy and Kara had several rounds of arm wrestling.


Look at those muscles!


Josh, Jon, and Nate played games all night long.


Kara takes pride in the fact she tells worse jokes than Dad. Yikes.


What a cute threesome.


"Do you know what Heather said--?"


Anthony and Ryan.


Anthony and Lour have got to be the cutest newlyweds I've ever known.


Deena and Lour.


Poker isn't quite as fun as Maui Maui, but it's pretty close.


Getting all sugared up on the sparkling juice.


Ryan is not drunk. He's just a little high on sugar.
