Sam the Cooking Guy

Have you ever gone to Sam the cooking guy's website? I would highly encourage you to do it! Today was the first time I've ever looked around for a while, and there are some awesome and EASY recipes on there. My friend Kim (MFK) is his bookkeeper and says that he's really a great guy, and he has a great "culinary point of view" (for anyone who watches the next food network star). Check it out! www.thecookingguy.com

Padre game with the Hanleys- We lost :(

The Coaster ride down there- don't worry, the boys WEREN't drinking!

Dad hardly ever poses for a picture, but we ran into Haley Peterson, Lauren and my Godfather Hirum at the game. We had a BALL!

Another day in paradise!

We had LOTS of fun at the beach. And YES, that's Kristen's foot in Sean's face.

Sex and the City!

Beca and I went to see the Sex and the City movie on Friday night and LOVED it! Every minute of it! We went to have munchies and a drink (or two, they were having a buy one, get one free for cosmos!) before, and had great girly conversation. Then Beca cried through the WHOLE movie, it was awesome. I think the movie was so great because it made me feel like I was hanging out with my girlfriends. . . . I want to see it again!

My Sister In Law in all her Glory

My Sister In Law, Kristen Cannan, in all her Glory

We tried to be cultured. . . .

Last Friday night Andrew and I went to see CATS, thinking we were going to have fun and go to the theatre. . . . . .. not quite the case. Why is this play so popular? There's no plot really, and at one point the actors jumped around on stage for 20 minutes, acting like they were acrobatic cats- WITH NO DIALOGUE. I think it was supposed to represent something, but we were both missing it!

So at intermission we stepped outside, and quietly walked away from the crowd of people talking about how fabulous it was. . . .and went to Extrodinary Desserts! We felt so rebellious. . . . and the berry cobbler we shared was DELISH! MUCH better than sitting through that 2nd Act!

So crafty!

Check out my new door hanger I made! How crafty is that? Hilary, I posted this one for you!

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Hanhauser!

Beca and her Dad, walking down the isle

Check me out with this RING on my finger!

Andrew's the KING of taking pictures of us when we're not ready, in hopes of gathering some more bad pictures. . .mostly of Becky

NOW we're ready!

Jim and Andrew, awwwwww, so cute!

Beca and Greg, thank you for letting us share your BIG day with you. It was a day filled with many memories, I don't think I'll ever hear "Piano Man" and not think of your wedding.
To many years of happiness! Love ya both!

Aunt Roberta, In Loving Memory

Aunt Roberta passed away on May 9, 2008 of breast cancer. We were there at her side when she passed away, what a way to gain perspective on life. Her life was taken too early, and I'm going to miss her terribly. It's comforting that now she is free from the pain of having cancer for 15 years, but there's still a deep sense of loss. I'll be walking in the breast cancer 3 Day (60 mile) walk this November in Aunt Roberta's honor, more to come on that later. We miss you already.
