Today is another one of those days that I really appreciate Annalyn. On top of taking care of Luke, teaching CPR/First Aid, and dealing with me, she still comes down on Wednesdays and helps me at work. It might not sound like much but it is harder than it sounds. So...
Reasons why Annalyn is the best.
10. When she told a story about someone leaving their child alone while out getting cigarettes she said " The lady left to get some smokes." Like it was something she does all the time. She is so down with smoking she uses the term "Getting some smokes." I find this very funny.
9. Sometimes she lets me pick her out clothes. Doesn't really question my taste. Next shopping trip I plan on getting her a tube top and a mini-skirt, or this outfit...
8. She gave me this, drooling problem and all.
7. Can't forget these...
6. In her last post she posted a picture of me on my "hog". She pretends to give me a hard time, but she has been awesome about letting me ride this guilt free.
5. She got up in the middle of the night last night and let Biscuit out at 3:00 am
4. She lets me laugh at my favorite movie, even though it is her least favorite movie.
3. She loves to learn, and is good at it. Really she is the smartest girl I know. She improved our gene pool quite a bit.
2. She worries about her friends and what they are going through. Adam and Lisa, we were both thinking about you these last few months. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Their baby Gabe was born, and passed away this month.
1. She tells me she loves me at least once a day. I need reminding, and she married me before I had to resort to this...
Annalyn, Thanks for being my wife. I love you and I want everyone to know it. Besides, my girlfriend Lupe only reads Spanish blogs, so we're cool.

R. U. M. P. S.
So we were watching "How It's Made" the other night. It was showing us how they make crayons. They started talking about developing new colors and how some colors had to be retired. A box of crayons is not the same as it once was.I was shocked and upset to find out that the ever handy raw umber and maize colors were retired! Maybe I have just been out of touch with the coloring world for too long but I had no idea. Had I known I would have joined R.U.M.P.S. aka The Raw Umber & Maize Preservation Society. They protested the retirement of these colors in person at the crayola factory! Apparently Crayola learned their lesson and now let the people decide which color gets the boot. (Not to worry it looks like Burnt Sienna was spared the boot!)
Crayola is not the only who is changing over the years. This past weekend I got to meet up with Courtney and we reminisced about the good ole days of freshman orientation and badly taped ankles. Now it is easy to see what our topics of conversation are...
It was so fun to see her, Sam and Troy. We keep trying to convince them (and everyone else we like) that Idaho is the place to be. During our trip to Utah, Luke tried the Idaho sales pitch out on Carter. Unfortunately Carter wasn't convinced anymore than the Buers were.
We'll just let this picture of Ryan's latest motorcycle ride do the talking.
I will end with my latest pictures of the Luke. He is growing and changing so much. He slept a record 11 hours the other night. It was heaven. He is starting to figure his hands out and is starting to grab at things. We have gotten a couple of giggles out of him. We are working to get more giggles and less drool. Unfortunately when I got out the camera he wouldn't smile but as soon as I put it away he would grin ear to ear. I guess Ryan has the touch to get a smiling picture of the little guy.

Could life get any better than this?
