Happy 60th Birthday Uncle Ruben!

Happy 60th Uncle Ruben!!!

A pig was roasted underground, ribs and burgers were served and the beer was flowing. Pictures from the birthday party to soon follow but I wanted to make sure and wish my Uncle a VERY Happy Birthday since today is the big day!

Love ya Uncle Ruben!

What's going on?

Absolutely nothing. I'm a bit under the weather right now. It's a major bummer because I'm not very good at being sick. I know it's because of the weather change and lack of down time. I went to see the doc and was advised that I haven't had the head cold long enough to warrant antibiotics and that rest is what's recommend. Rest? What's that? I'm trying to follow doctors orders but I'm finding it difficult not to putz around the apartment. Of course, Joe is a great reminder of the doctors orders. I know. In a minute babe. I need a few more minutes and I'll shut the computer down...

Juno and Sweeney Todd are the new movies tonight on Cimenax and HBO. Awesome! We've yet to see Sweeney Todd and can't wait to watch it. Of course we missed the 9pm showing because Joe was watching football. Oh well, it'll be on again.

I learned today that Big Love will be back January 11th- yay! The Ex-List was canceled - bummer! Lost will be back January 21st with a 3 hour premiere - awesome!

I must give a shout out to my dear friend Rebecca. She offered to take engagement photos of us as a wedding present. We had so much fun hanging out with her and I must say the photos turned out absolutely beautiful! I used one of the photos in my new blog title and another one I've put down below. If anyone is in need of a great photographer, check her out at Snootie Patootie Photography.

So, rest is on the agenda this weekend. Let's hope that this nasty head cold passes pretty quickly. The next few weeks are jam packed with activities starting with a bridal shower for my cousin Ben's new bride-to-be, Uncle Ruben's 60th B-day bash, family pictures, the Mad Mud Run, cookie baking and of course Thanksgiving.

I haven't forgotten the wedding...need to do a final fitting on my dress, get together with the MOH and Bridesmaid to see what they will wear and plenty of other little things to finalize...much to busy for a head cold!

Halloween 2008

We had our annual family Halloween gathering at Dan's house. Here are some photos from our fun night.

Brycen opting for a scary costume this year. The blood was pretty gross!

Dan brought out the wolfman costume. Even though one ear is a little droopy he still managed to scare some of the kids in the neighborhood!
