Senioritis

Mike is officially a senior in dental school. Can you believe it? A senior! I can hardly believe how fast the time has flown. It doesn't seem like we've already been here for 3 years. We have absolutely loved being here in Kentucky. These pictures are at Mike's dental clinic dinner. It was their celebration of going from junior clinic to the senior clinic. It was a lot of fun to see friends and eat yummy food at Texas Roadhouse.

Derby Daze!

So I've always dreamed of going to the Kentucky Derby, wearing a Derby Hat and getting dressed all fancy. But the Derby is so expensive to get tickets where we can actually sit (rather than be flashed by nudists in the infield), that it probably won't ever happen. But a girl can still dream... Anyway, I did the next best thing I could think of. Our ward had a derby party with a derby hat competition, so I decided it was now or never. I must make a derby hat. So I tried to let the creative juices flow, but just could never find time. So I threw it together before the party. Guess what? I won first place. Well, I should tell you that no other adult made a hat, so I competed against young women and primary children. Hey, that's still a victory in my book. : ) So I wore my derby hat with pride. Now I'm wondering, what the heck am I going to do with this big old hat now. Anybody want a homemade derby hat?

The pink derby hat in all it's glory.

The hat is ginormous!

Next year, it will be matching hats for the girls!

Our Little Diva!

This is our little Diva in fur! She just looked so adorable sitting on the couch! I wish I could have some of her clothes in my size. I was so excited that I could get a bow to clip in her hair! Guess what she is fixated on while I am taking these pictures? Why Baby Einstein, of course! She loves those videos!

The Big 2-7!

Happy Birthday Mikey! It was Mike's birthday on April 9th. He is now 27 years old. Mike is getting so old and mature. He even has a mature face he likes to make. I wish I had a picture of it, but if you see him, ask him to do the mature face for you. Mike loves ribs so we went to Mark's Feed Store so he could go hog wild on the ribbies. Since I'm already 28, Mike has to deal with the fact that even though he's 27, I'm still a little older and wiser. : ) Mike is such a wonderful husband and father. It was so fun to celebrate with him!

This is Mikey 6 years ago when we dated at BYU. What a hottie!

This is Mikey and our baby chubster on his birthday!

Mike and his tooth cake.

These are the homemade kisses I made for him. (Thanks for the idea from your blog Heidi and Bakerella.)
