HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Today is Keith's 28th Birthday! Holy Moly! I can't believe it! He really is an incredible person though, and here are just 28 reasons why:

1. He is easily the most patient man...ever!

2. He is actually pretty funny, even though I tell him he's not

3. He has self discipline that is OUT OF THIS WORLD!

4. He is very devoted to the things he loves

5. He spoils me rotten, even if it means he will have to go without

6. He is a great help around the house and does dishes and laundry all of the time! (without me asking)

7. He is a great cook.

8. His testimony of our church is rock solid.

9. He always prays first thing in the morning.

10. He writes in his journal daily.

11. He would love to be a ski bum.

12. He will probably never go bald, he has nice thick hair.

13. His skin smells good even when he doesn't have on cologne. (except for the 2 days after he eats something full of garlic)

14. He is an excellent teacher!

15. He doesn't love to get his hands dirty unless it is on the football field, but he will if he needs to.

16. He is a good example of service.

17. He is very routine-oriented. He likes to go to bed, wake up, work out, etc. at the same time every day.

18. He tries his hardest to help me be a better person.

19. He loves kids.

20. He is really fun to be around, I love to stay home and hang out with him in the evenings.

21. He is respectful of his parents.

22. He is a very hard worker.

23. He lost 70 lbs. in 1 1/2 years (thanks to his work ethic)

24. He can now dunk a basketball again! (thanks to his weight loss)

25. He loves all products produced by Apple.

26. He is a surprisingly talented actor!

27. He would ride a motorcycle year round if he could.

28. He never treats anyone badly and has a heart of gold!

To celebrate, we went to dinner and had French Silk Pie for dessert, since Keith isn't a huge cake person. He had to blow out candles that were in jars, since we didn't know where the birthday candles were.

He got a new basketball for his birthday--I caught him mid word in this picture.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEITH! I LOVE YOU!

Halloween 2009

We did a few different things the day of Halloween. We spent Halloween Eve and Halloween morning/early afternoon with my cousins in Idaho Falls while my Aunt and Uncle were in Utah. We then came home and Whitney and Tobin along with our friends Brian and Dana came over for dinner, which was soup in a loaf and then caramel apples.

Brian the cowboy with a gross wig (tucked under his arm) and some serious chaps made of fur!

Dana had a great witch costume!

I haven't dressed up for years, but thanks to my Aunt Juanita who pulled through with a costume for me as we were leaving her house, I was a bird this year.

Keith, of course, was a pirate. He has been working on this outfit for years, and adds something to it every year. This year it was huge rings on his fingers, a shrunken head hanging off his belt, and beads in his wig.

Whitney and Tobin came without costumes, so Whitney got to be Medusa and Tobin got to be a bat-like fairy (Thanks once again to Aunt Nita for sending additional costumes)

He was really thrilled about the wings. :)

After dinner we made a few quick visits and ended the evening around a fire pit with warm apple cider. Happy (late) Halloween!
