My Halloween Babies!

Here are all of my favorites on Halloween. Michael and my cute nieces and nephew! I am the luckiest auntie in the world! Michael was a Wii Remote Control for Halloween. He wore it to work and on campus when we walked to the testing center. A lot of people were laughing and making comments! haha. I have the cutest husband ever and I love him and how he always makes me laugh!!!

Here is baby neal the cutest man alive! He was a cowboy for Halloween and a dang cute one!

Here is Amelia the cutest Minnie Mouse ever. No niece is ever going to be such a cute Minnie Mouse because nobody can embrace being Minnie like Amelia can!

Here is the cutest pumpkin ever Aimee. She was a hit at their ward Halloween party. Her mom made her costume and it turned out so cute!

And last here is Addison the cutest pink monster with her nanny and poppy adoring her and all her beauty! Now can everyone see why I am the luckiest aunt in the entire world! I love all of my cute babies so much!!! They grow so fast and I am so sad I don't get to see them all everyday, but we are grateful we get to see little Aimee everyday!

Camping!!!

We went camping! By Squaw Peak!!!















All I did was eat and play with fire!!!

Matt and Chelsea came along also... their tent holds 85+ people in it!

More Prop 8!

Most of my feelings about Prop 8 can be summed up in this fantastic article. Enjoy...

Cayman!

We also went to the Cayman Islands this summer. The nice part of being married is some summers both families take you on vacation. Steph was already scuba certified. So I (Michael) got scuba certified this summer. Scuba diving was probably the best part of the whole trip. I went every morning. Steph was my scuba buddy along with bring my eternal companion. One thing I need to work on is not running out of air after only 20 minutes. Also, I drove around the Island. In Cayman they drive on the left side of the road. It was quite the experience. Overall we had a great time and want to go back. Here are some pictures:

Prop 8

We believe that marriage between a man and a women is ordained of God and central to his plan. Check out the website preservingmarriage.org for more information on Proposition 8.

Central America

So we have had a busy summer and haven't blogged very much and now we are going to catch up! In between working this summer we had a lot of fun! Michael's dad got released from being mission president in Honduras so we went to pick up his parents the end of June. It was my 2nd trip down there and Michael's fourth! We went to Honduras for a week and then to Guatemala for a week. We spent a few days in Roatan, Guatemala City, Copan, Tikal, Antigua, Los Flores,La Ceiba and LOTS of time on buses traveling to all of these places! We had a really fun time, thanks Farrells!

Aimee Jean

We have a new house mate/niece. Aimee Jean. She is 6 days old and so cute. It is fun having a baby living upstairs that we can play with whenever we want and then give back to her mom and dad when we are done. We love her!!!

Went to a baseball game...

<---Here is Steph at the BYU baseball game last Friday. I think her favorite part of the whole game was the fact that they sold this like 2ft long maple bar donut. She kept insisting that I get for my breakfast the next day. There is nothing that says I am happy and health like a 2ft long maple bar in the morning. Steph also had some special moments with Cosmo but did not get a back rub from him like the girl in front of us. This is me and the sell out crowd. ---->

Go Cougars... they won 10 to 4.

Best Guacamole In Town

Steph makes an amazing bowl of Guacamole... you should try it.

Since this is my first post i thought i would put only my favorite people in my picture. There are a few things I like about this picture. first. it has my cute husband in it. second. it has two of my cutest best friends in it. and third. we are eating on a basketball court. Michael says fourth. we are eating in it. For everyone who doesn't know, michael loves eating.
so right now at the Farrell home, michael is studying for our physical science final that i should be studying for, but i am not. law and order is on in the back ground. michael is talking about golf because that is the only thing he has wanted to talk about for a month now.
GOOD NEWS MOMENT FOR TODAY: matt and chelsea gave us 10 free dollars for a pizza place so we only paid 2 dollars for dinner tonight which was so good.

Bikers on 9th

This is how I feel about the people who ride down 9th E. in the street when there is a huge sidewalk right next to the road. I almost killed some poor girl the other day in front of the MTC.

On a side note Steph says no one cares what I write, people just want to see pictures... So Steph (Who has never made a comment on this blog) these pictures are for you even though they have nothing to do with my post.
















This is me golfing with my clubs while they are still in the box. The second picture is Dave Hansen confidently giving Steph chocolate before we take off for the honeymoon.

Why I love my wife...

I love my wife...even though right now as I am typing this sentence she is nagging me. This post is to let her now that she is the best.

As noted above in exhibit A you see a pizza that Steph cooked for me. Now, Steph was sad when she made me this pizza because she forgot to put pizza sauce on the pizza. What she didn't know is that the sauce is my least favorite part of the whole pizza. So what I wish would of happened is this: Instead of her handing me a pizza with a frown saying, "here you go you don't have to eat it if you don't want to" she should of said, "Hey Mike I made you a super dope pizza, enjoy."

So Steph I love you and you are da bomb!

Was this a good idea?

So let me give you some background on this picture. I am walking by the old creamery on campus when I see this van. It is NOT parked by the WILK, SWKT, HBLL, or HFAC... it is by the creamery. This van has a huge dent in it. So for some reason the owner decided to spray paint a huge "POW" over the dent.

My question is: Was this a good idea?

First of all, unless you are like my wife Stephanie, you don't think driving a mini van is that cool during college. So, it is bad enough that you are driving the mini van. Second this "POW" sticks out. Now, sure it probably gets a few laughs as you drive by and has some random people like me take pictures of it. But when all is said and done and you are driving home you are probably going to be driving home alone.

So I would vote no on the "POW" decal.

You do have to give credit to the person though they are probably making a lot of people laugh everyday.

It is time for me to exit the Bloggersphere today.

Snow Snow Snow

So it decided to snow a lot this year.

Before this year I could claim that my car never really had problems getting around in the snow.

That is after 1 year in Rexburg and 2 in Provo.

Not anymore... Yes, it is a two door 1994 Honda Accord with little power and is not known for handling well in the snow but before this year I had no problems.

Here is a picture of our doorway to our house.

P.S. Steph doesn't let me take my car and do dough nuts in the snow anymore... which could be directly related to my car not preforming well in the snow.

We have been married six months

So every time Steph and I do something fun she is like, "Mike! Blog it!" The pressure has mounted and I have decided to really enter the Blogger Sphere.

Well, I guess the only people who know about our Blog are Nate and Ian. So Ian dude how is it going? Hear you got an Iphone... tight. One day I would like to have one. Nate you are married. Thats is awesome

So Steph and I have been married for 6 months. To celebrate we went up to Salt Lake to the Gateway and ate at Thaifoon. I really enjoyed Steph's food (Fish). Then we went to Baskin Robbins in Salt Lake off 4th south because that is where we went on our first real date.
