Happy Feet

We were watching a little Sunday night television.
I look down to see my warm and cuddly wool socks were mismatched.
"Hmmm....wonder why they are mismatched?", I think.
I look at Rick's feet.
He too was wearing the same mismatched pair.
Same color on the same foot.
Wierd.
Oh well, what can I say, we're in love.
We also like our feet warm and....
obviously don't look too close when putting on our socks.

Take A Picture, It Lasts Longer

So I'm in the market for one of those fancy shmancy DSLR cameras. I'm no photographer, but I do enjoy bugging people with my annoying urge to snap at any photographic moment I see. It's in my genes, my mom and dad are both obsessive picture takers. For example, they went on a Mexican cruise last month and not one but both of them had cameras. This meant two sets of pictures to go through when they got home which resulted in 800+ photos. They are a cute little couple and I love them. Rick sat through the first 25 and then bowed out and watched basketball. I took one for the team and sat through the whole load of 800. (On a side note, for those of you who didn't know, my parents got remarried last month. Yep, you heard correct....my parents got remarried, to each other. Pretty cool to send your parents off on their second honeymoon 30 years after they went on their first honeymoon together...hence the Mexican Cruise, hence 800+ photos and hence me calling them a cute couple. They are much too happy for words and I am so proud of them.)

Anyways, back to the camera. I'm having trouble trying to decide between Canon and Nikon. I've done a little research but I'm still a little uncommitted. I've heard they are both very similar, but does anyone have an opinion? Anyone used either of these? Below are the two I'm thinking but I will take suggestions on any alternatives. Any feedback would be VERY much appreciated. Gracias.

Gobble

We were with Rick's family for Thanksgiving this year. We decided to eat our turkey down in St. George far far away from my work desk and any of Rick's text books. Not to mention the temperature is warm and there are palm trees. I love palm trees. My dad has a vacation home down in St. George that we could stay at and Rick's family had never been, so we headed down. It was wonderful.



A few things we were thankful for on our Thanksgiving trip:


Cari's Cooking Skills










Cari planned the whole meal and everything was scrumptious.


Sweet Aprons
My Mother-in-Law is the type that doesn't forget any special touch. She is so sweet and gave us these matching aprons to cook it up in the kitchen.


Apple Strings














Anthony's favorite part of Thankgiving was definitely the "apple strings" (as he calls them) that would come off as we were peeling the apples for apple crisp. We had to make him stop eating cause we were worried he would get a stomach ache. Good thing he ate a lot of the strings cause he fell asleep right before we started our big feast. So cute.

Nephews















I love watching Rick with Anthony and Ethan. They can't get enough of playing with Uncle Rick. Every family event is so much more fun and eventful because of these little guys. We love them.








It was fun! We are thankful. Until next year....
