Random Updates

We've been kinda shy about the blog lately. Mostly because we're lazy. Also because life has been pretty hectic lately. We said goodbye to Flagstaff last week. We're going to miss a couple things about the place, but mostly we're excited to begin a new life somewhere else (which still remains a mystery!) One thing we miss a lot is storytime at the library. Ruth has spent the past two years really getting to know the librarians. Every time we walked into the library all the librarians would happily greet Ruth. They were even on their toes enough to have a new and different bookmark ready for her to take home every week. Ms. Karen was Ruth's favorite. She is the best story-teller ever. Here is a picture of Ruth, Ms. Karen and Ms. Karen's granddaughter...



Ruth was talking today about how she misses her friends. Daniel was (and is..she's excited to write him a letter) her best bud. They loved to eat pizza together and run around being crazies together.


A couple days after we arrived in Alpine Ruth woke up with a very high fever of 104.6. We were able to keep it down aroudn 102 with ibuprofin but when she still had the fever on the third day we took her to see a doctor. Bronchitus again. The inhaler helped her cough instantly but the medicine didn't help the fever go away until the fifth day. She spent all those days sleeping on the couch. Poor thing.


On May 2nd, we (Jonesy and I) celebrated our 5-year anniversary! Yay us! After surviving the past five years we feel that we can do anything.
We celebrated by leaving the children with Grandma and going to see a movie (Ironman--awesome flick...highly recommended!) eating dinner at a hawiian grill and going to an improv comedy show at a club called Comedy Sportz. Here we are in love and waiting for the show to start...


This is a picture of the little comedy club, just for fun.


After the laughs we headed to Village Inn (the place we had our first date) for some pie. This is Jonesy being annoyed by the table FULL of highschool children who were thinking they were all that and a bag of fritos because they were out past 10pm without their mommies to take care of them...


After the pie we took an amazing trip to Wal-mart to buy diapers for our baby boy. All around it was a lovely anniversary. We look forward to another five years (mostly because we have promised ourselves a cruise for our tenth anniversary)


Here is Gareth feeding himself with a spoon at Wingers (the best restaurant in the galaxy)...



So in case you are all wondering about us we are all fine and dandy. Keep checking the blog, we'll post more often...maybe!

Oh on a side note, I was very sad to not get a picture of the wonderful surprise we found floating in the toilet today if only Jonesy didn't have to pee so badly I could have run and got my camera....apparently Gareth had snuck in there to find a place to hide his bottle and keep it cold.
