shower

Carrie's sister, Laura, held a baby shower for her this past weekend and I thought I'd just share a few photos with you all. and by a few I mean 2.

this first one is a picture of the cake that Laura made. 

and this second one is of Carrie and myself. 
okay so you probably could have figured out what the pictures were of without my little explanation but, it's too late now, I've already typed it and there is no way to remove text from a computer once it's typed.

trip to utah

okay so I know it's been two weeks since we were there but here is a recap of our trip to utah.

we will start off with the most important thing. tyson let me ride his motorcycle. I have to say it was a lot of fun, thank you tyson. I didn't really like the cruiser style bike but after riding it I'm starting to change my mind. 

we went out to lunch with gary, fanessa and ender. I can't remember the name of the place but it was kinda like a cafe rio only better, much much better. 
we had a pizza party at mom and dad's where I snapped this amazing shot of nathan eating.
while in utah we got to meet cameron's wonderful wife sarah. It was nice spending time with the new couple whom we also went out to lunch with. 
this last picture is of sedona doing what sedona does best.

The Birds

Out in front of our place there is a garden area, (nothing has ever been planted there, but the dirt is there) there is another garden area (flowers are planted in this one) just under our living room window.  The garden area is basically a big garden box. Anyway, there are a bunch of House Sparrows that use the garden area to take dirt baths in. This garden area is about 10 feet from our window and Carrie and I like watching the birds play in the dirt. 


Recently the Birds have been picking at the wood that is holding our air conditioner in. Which means that they are right next to our window. So I decided to place some bread crumbs out on the window ledge and see if I could get some photos of the birds.


Well about a week has gone by and I wasn't able to get anything. Until today that is. I heard them outside playing on the AC so I opened the window a bit and grabbed my camera. After standing motionless by the window for about an hour I finally got a few pictures. They aren't great because I was shooting through the window screen, but I thought I would share the pictures anyway. (and a long story to go with them)



These guys are playing just under our window
He was scared by the shutter sound before he got anything to eat.

Finally I got a picture of the bird eating the bread.

Max's First Halloween Costume




Jared and I got into the Halloween spirit last night and decided to dress Max up in his very first costume.  I only wish it was warm enough so I could go out trick or treating and reap the rewards!!
