Hand Slap Game

On night in December, we got together with our great friends, Trevin and Kalisha. It was getting late, and the boys came up with a crazy idea. Daniel has informed me that this game actually does exist. I'm not sure I'm convinced.

Please enjoy this fantastic video:



Here is the best photo from the night:

We love hanging out with them!

Birthday Fun at the Dinosaur Museum

On Daniel's birthday, we took a trip to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point.

They had so many fun things to do!


One of our favorite things was the 3-D movie: "African Adventure." Really, we just wanted an excuse to wear the glasses!

SHARK!
Daniel is always getting me to take silly pictures.

Look at us discovering fossils!


Hooray for the Dinosaur Museum!

Happy Birthmaka!

This past week began a week-long celebration. Of what you might ask? Well, for those of you that are familiar with the OC, the term "Christmaka Bar Mitzvahka" will be relatively familiar. That blending of Christmas and Hanukkah became the inspiration for the blending of Hanukkah with another famous day- my birthday!


And so, let's chronicle the days of the celebration and see how sweet my wife was to me this year!

Day One

Day One saw me gain two important assets. The first- Ped Egg (as seen on TV)


As you can see, not only was I thoroughly surprised, but also supremely pleased at receiving such a fun gift! I've already tested it out, and boy, is it fun.


Also, Alexa gave me (not a toothbrush, but) a car scraper. That's just me being silly. As usual.


Day Two

Day Two continued the fun with Zebra pens! These are quite possibly the greatest pens in the universe, but for some reason they are hard to find here in Utah. Nevertheless, my wonderfull wife found both the ballpoint and the gel versions.


Day Three

Day Three saw me getting a knitting kit! These are the circular kinds of frames that allow you to make beanies. I am very excited. (Man, do I look goofy in this picture of what?)


Day Four

The day before I thought that I was going have to wait before I started making beanies for lack of yarn. But little did I know that the very next day I would be getting some fantastic colors to work with!

(The funny thing is, Alexa didn't think that I was seriously going to make hats for myself. She thought that I was going to continue a ward project and make hats for charity. That can certainly be on the agenda, but so will personal beanie making...)


Day Five

To end off the birthday celebration, I got a big hymnbook! It's spiral bound, so it will even stay open all by itself. Yay!

(Alexa got herself a hymns-made-easy book).


Today

Today, just the day after my birthday, I finished my first beanie. Isn't it great? I think that I will wear it tomorrow.


Doesn't it look great!?! I'm so proud.

Happy birthday to me!
