Birthday Wishes from Bruce

Nicole is 22 today! Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear Nicole, Happy Birthday to you! (repeat 22 times, in a higher key each time) Secretly she wishes for a birthday greeting from her baby, Bruce.

So here it is. Bruce sends loves and kisses.

Bruce wants you to know that he is behaving very well while you are gone to Virginia. He is a little bored that you aren't here but he wants you to know that he loves and misses you. You know that you are loved if you get TP'ed, so this one's for you. It's difficult to get it all the way up the stairs, when you get so distracted by the great flavor.

or maybe it's a texture thing...
nope, this is just plain fun...

Bruce will keep an eye out for you...

and hope you are having a great time while he takes care of the nieces and nephews for you. Bruce is such an entertainer that maybe Jake can teach him how to play it on the piano when he gets here. Birthday wishes to you from Bruce.

I Swear!

May 23, 2008- We went to Salt Lake City for the Utah State Bar Admission Ceremony. Chris said he was going to be sworn in or cussed out. He thought afterwards that he was the only one with a light suit. Evidence shows however, there was one other directly in back of him who also had a light suit and head. Here is the proud swearing moment. Neck craning,
proud moments,
as a new Utah State Bar Member with his sweet girls.
Sophia stands to show off her June Cleaver dress. She's nine months old on this day.
Beth and Chris took us up Mill Creek to LogHaven, a restaurant with an amazing ambiance.
This place was absolutely beautiful with waterfalls, trees, and butter. I guess it isn't hard to tell who stole the show in the forefront of every picture. I swear!

Thanks kids for sharing your happy day with us. It truly was a monumental occasion.

Three Reasons We're Happy for Three Years

Reason # 1: Philip takes such good care of his sweety. He makes her so happy. Reason # 2: Philip is so funny.
Reason # 3: Philip is so smart, not just in book learning, but in every way. Thank you for taking care of our princess Philip. Happy Anniversary, wherever you may be.

BONUS: Can't wait for these two princesses to get together again. It will be soon and we are excited.

Amazing

Kevin is amazing! He recently figured out that he is lactose intolerant, so I'm wondering if his discovery will cause a weight gain, thus causing him to lose the bet with Melissa. For all of you who may not know, once Kevin weighs over 200 pounds he has to pay Melissa $1000 and buy a van. If he ever buys a van, he then owes her another $100. For Kevin's sake, I hope you keep eating the Dreyers' so that the extra 80 pounds doesn't find you.

Before Evolution

At some point, Dad would like me to do a post on the evolution of his BMW life, but before that, and for now we'll just have a recap of his recent motorcyle ride from Wisconsin to Arizona. Here he is on his most recent purchase. I'm not sure if it is before or after the fish fry with Bryan.The highlight of his trip (for me=Grandma) was stopping in on these cuties.
He said they treated him royally and that Natalie has decorated the house with a classy flair. He stopped by the Nauvoo temple and saw beautiful tulips.
He called to say that he had gone all the way to Cuba. He explained that the same state also has Mexico in it.Some towns were full of angry, loud people.
Some towns were full of our relatives.All in all he went to every flippin place in the midwest... and that ain't no bull!
