Eric turns 28!

Last week we celebrated Eric's 28th birthday. We didn't do a whole lot since it was a school day and I had a lot of dorm stuff to do. We did get the chance to go out to dinner without Aaron. Charles babysat Aaron while we enjoyed a nice quiet dinner. It is amazing the difference without him.

We came home and had cherry cheesecake. That is the tradition in the Bell family. Eric likes homemade cheesecake for his birthday. Then we opened presents and then Eric got to play with his new toys. Eric has been enjoying the new expansion to "world of warcraft" and his new ipod. He got a few other things like a new wallet and socks. I think he did very good this year.

On a side note: This is me showing off my new BYU-Idaho jacket. I had a gray jacket that I always wore but Eric really didn't like that jacket. He said it always made me look worn out and like white trash. So he bought me a new jacket. Much better!

Halloween Pictures

I know I am the last one to post my Halloween pictures but at least I am finally doing it. :)
Halloween was fun but Aaron is still a bit too young to understand what was going on. He at least got to enjoy the candy this time. We didn't buy him a costume until the day of. The nice thing about that is that the prices for the costumes are half price. I have a hard time paying 20 dollars for a costume that we will never use again. Eric got Aaron a really cute tiger costume. I waited until 5pm that night to try it on Aaron. It didn't fit. So Eric ran back to the store and all that was left by then was this dog costume. He still made a cute dog. We took him to our ward Trunk or Treat. He just wandered around because he just likes to walk around.When we got home from that we just took him around the dorm. He would go from door to door knocking and then walking away. The girls thought that he was so cute and I think they enjoyed him coming to wish them a happy Halloween. It will be fun next year when he will understand that he gets candy for free. :)

Happy Birthday Uncle Choo Choo

This was from a month ago, but we did celebrate Eric's brother's birthday up here in Rexburg. He turned 24 years old. We took him out to dinner to Hard Hat, a good steak restaurant. Then we went back to our apartment where we had a Strawberry Cheesecake waiting. YUM!
We gave him some pots and pans so that he could cook macaroni and cheese in a pan instead of the microwave.
It has been fun having Charles up in Rexburg with us. He comes to visit a couple of times a week. Aaron has gotten to know his uncle Choo Choo and loves to play with him. It is sad that he is the only one of the family that Aaron is really familiar with. Happy Birthday Charles!

End of September Pics

GOOD NEWS! I finally found my camera. I just found it a few days ago because it was at my parents house. I did leave it there and it got lost in the couch there. So I have pictures from my trip to Utah from the end of September. We went down for my sister's birthday. She is now 18 years old. We went to Olive Garden for her birthday and then on Sunday as we were rushing out the door she opened her presents. It was a quick weekend but we had fun celebrating her birthday with her.

This is Rebecca with Aaron while we are waiting for a table at Olive Garden. He loves his aunt, Becca.
