Eirinn go Brach!!

Just wanting to wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's day!! It's one of the favorite days of the year in our family. Alicen and I have had fun making St. Patrick's day fun in our house. We have the Leprechaun that comes and turns our milk green, leaves green foot prints and candy for them. McKinley this year really liked it. But she was worried the Leprechaun was going to get her. We also colored her and Taitan's hair green. Although Tait has reddish orange hair and could have passed with out green in it. I was going to spray my hair but had to unload a truckload of cement tubes and did not want green drops of sweat coming off my face. So I will have to do it later. Then tonight we have the traditional Corn beef and Cabbage dinner at my parents. Always excited for that dinner. Cant wait to see how much Horseradish Jayson tries to down this year. Its always fun to dress in green and celebrate my heritage. Happy St. Patty's Day everyone!!!

5 Years

Last Friday was the anniversary of our 5 year first date. I thought it would be fun to make a big deal out of it. So I bought gifts to give her every day. On Monday, I got her a card. Tuesday was a bag of Milky ways (because we stayed up late looking at the stars where the new Temple is in daybreak). Wednesday I got her the new CD by Lady Antebellum. Thursday was flip flops that she liked and Friday we re-inacted the first date. At least the best I can remember. I called her and asked her out, got a baby sitter, and picked her up after work. We went to dinner at Ruby Tuesdays in Jordan Landing. It was fun to just have dinner and talk with out kids jumping, crying and throwing things. Now on our first date, we went ice skating at the Olympic oval but Alicen fell down some much and had a little boy laugh at her, she has hated it ever since. So rather then make her relive that, I got tickets to the new "Alicen in Wonderland" movie that came out that night too. She was actually worried when I told her that we where going ice skating. She was not thrilled at all.
As for Alicen in wonderland, its really good. I like Johnny Depp and Tim Burton movies anyway. It is a good movie. Its a little dark but that is a total Burton movie. Johnny Depp is just impressive and a blast to watch act, he plays his roles really well. The movie was way good and something to see in theaters. I just wish I would have bought the one for the 3D version. I bet that would have been good. Alicen seemed to like the movie too. It was a good night for going out and just spending time the two of us. So that was our five year first date activity.
