LHS Class of 2007!!

Someone's heading off to college!

We're very proud of Kevin for making through his teenage years and graduating High School.

Not only does he look more smarter, but he looks good doing so.

Maybe it has something to do with the role models the surrounds himself with.
It was a fun day with the family as we celebrated with lunch at PS7s.

Good luck at ASU!

Flyin' High in Jersey

Memorial Day brought beautiful sunny skies this year so we headed to the Jersey Shore to spend time at the beach.

It was the first day of the season so we did a lot of cleaning and organizing, but we also managed some time to spend on the beach and in the air.

Al's cousin, CJ, who works for a parasailing company
asked if we would like to be on their first run of the year.


It was a great time and we loved the amazing view of Point Pleasant and the surronding area.

From G'town to the Big Apple

Our cousin Alex graduated from Georgetown University

and so we had the opportunity to watch her pick up her diploma.



It also called for a big party to celebrate the occasion before she headed up to the big city to start her job.


Congrats Alex. We'll miss you.

Long Live the Queen!

I had the opportunity to attend the state arrival ceremony at the White House for the Queen of England. Who knew she was so popular here in the states.

Livin' the Life in Miami

After a stressful semester Allison needed a break from school, and really so did I (but honestly, it was a great excuse to get out of the office), so we headed south to the secluded beaches of Miami.

Allison had never been to South Beach, so I thought that she had to be exposed to the many famous and infamous sites. However, Al thinks she is a conosuer of Art Deco due to her classes from school. She thought that she was teaching me something, but I guess she had forgotten that I already knew the same things from being her "study budy" (didn't we get an A on that test?). Needless to say I had a great time working on my base tan while Allison caught up on celebrity news,
we enjoyed the unique food and shopping the Art Deco distric has to offer. Although, next time I think Allison would prefer to go to a resort where tops are required.

We're now showing videos!

I found a place we can upload videos and organize them in a very easy way. I'll put the link here and in the link to section on the right. Hopefully it will be a good addition.

Spring is Final Here!

I know spring is finally here once the dogwood, azalea, and peony have all bloomed.

BYU Managment Society Gala

Once a year the BYU Management Society has it's big dinner and this year we were able to hear from Elder Thomas Monson of the First Presidency. Allison's family, including our cousin Alex, and friends were able to join us and we had a really nice night.

Easter 2007

Happy Easter!

The Wizards vs the King

So we went to see our local basketball team, the Wizards, take on Cleveland and the "King" LeBron James.

It was fun for a while and then LeBron took over and that was that. We made the playoffs but I'm not sure we'll go very far. Good times nonetheless.

I think we had more fun after the game with the free pom-poms we got at the game.

Opening Day - Play Ball!

What else would I do on a Monday when it is 80 degress outside, sunny and it's opening day for the Washington Nationals? If you thought go to work then you might not know me well enough. I took the day off, Allison played hookie and we met up with Allison's brother Matt and his wife to watch the Nats play ball!

We had new seats for the season this year and were excited to check them out. I was not disappointed, this season we'll be in the shade and be able to see the players without the binoculars!

With great seats and the great weather, the only thing that disappointed was the home team as they lost 9-2. Thank goodness it's a long season, well maybe not, if they keep this up our 3 games a week for the rest of the season will be insufferable (well maybe not that bad).

Alexandria Ward Easter Party

Since we are teachers in the Primary at church we got to help out with the annual Easter Party. There were games for the kids, some treats, and then the hunt for the 400 eggs that were hidden around the church grounds.

I got to help EMCEE the event (who knew I looked so good in pink?!)
and Al helped sort through the generous bounty that our class kids found.

Florida Gators at the WH

Rarely do we get to see some winning teams in DC, but luckily for me 1) we had some visitors in from out of town, the 2006 NCAA Football champs, the Florida Gators and...
2) I got to leave work in the middle of the day to see them! Now as for UF's other newly crowned champs I'll be more than willing to work a full day when they come...GO HOYAS!

Al's St. Patrick's Day Party

Al and her friends, Ashley, Lilian, and Lizzie, decided to get together to have a St. Patrick's Day potluck dinner where everyone would bring a green dish. Allison decided to make a green jello salad the night before using my Mum's recipe. The next day she took her jello salad with her (along with some green vegetables just in case it didn't turn out). She had a fun time, had some great food and came back with positive feedback on her jello salad. Now, either she is lying to me about her lack of abilities in the kitchen and she can cook, or I owe her friends something green (ie: money)!

The Shins in concert

So Monday I'm sitting at work and I see that the Shins are playing that night at Constitution Hall in downtown DC. After a quick search of Craig's list I had two tickets in my hand and we were off to the concert. We grabbed a little dinner-to-go from Subway and ate in a great little park on E and 18th st. We then headed inside and enjoyed the warm up band, Viva Voce, after which The Shins put on a great show. "See, we are fun".
