Birthday/Wedding

So yesterday, 1/24/09 was my 26th birthday and we celebrated it by attending our friend, Leah Maybin's wedding. The day was wonderful from the ceremony, to the beautiful reception, to the good tasting food and drinks. Leah was gorgeous as well.


Anne was one of the bridesmaids


Ellla was a flower girl and ran down the isle just like she did at our wedding and once she saw her brother Tyler, she started yelling his name and ran towards him. Tyler was sitting right behind us


The happy bride and groom

The beautiful cake made by the mother of the bride, Rose Maybin

Ella eating dessert. She ate 2 eclairs filled with ice cream and wedding cake. I'm shocked she didn't get sick with all the dancing she did.

Clark Obama

I totally stole this picture from the St. Louis DiTores blog. They took Clark to a place called Magic House in which they had this cool Oval Office setup for him to play president. He looks good in that chair.

Swiss Fondue

One of the places Joe and I visited on our Honeymoon was Switzerland. Switzerland is known for their cheese and fondue. While we were there our lovely hosts, Chris and Helen Zeltner sent us home with some real Swiss Fondue cheese to fix in our melting pot. My parents were in town this weekend to celebrate my birthday since I will be busy next weekend at a wedding and we decided to share the fondue with them. We served it with broccoli, french bread, apples, and potatoes. It was amazing.

Regis & Kelly

For Tiffany's graduation gift from college mom and dad took her to New York City. While they were in the Big Apple they waited in line for the Regis and Kelly Show and they actually got in. They not only got in but they were also seen on TV. If you look at the picture below you can see Tiffany and Mom at the top of the TV screen and dad is half cut off on the left side below Tiffany.

Clark Fix

Well I was missing Clark and needed a fix so I thought I would share this video with everyone. This video is Clark playing with his Uncle Joe on News Years Eve, our last night with him before he went back home to St. Louis.

Hired!!!!

So today Maitland Fire Department offered Joe a job. We are so happy and excited to start the next chapter in our lives. Joe worked so hard for this and never gave up. I'm so proud of him.

Happy Birthday Ella
