Murder Mystery Dinner!

We had our annual (except for last year) murder mystery dinner with the gang.  I've been a part of 5 of these events since college & Mark has been privileged to come to the last 2 (he LOVES them)!  This night's theme was at an archaeological site in the Tigris-Euphrates valley in 1895.  We had a lot of fun & good food as always!

Mark- An American "six-shooting" railroad tycoon.

Jennette- A English country woman who inherited the family estates & is headed on a world tour.

Cree- A well-educated aristocrat from London, who is the right-hand man to our host at the Archaeological site.

Tiffany- The host's daughter, active in the social scene & designer of fashionable "underclothes".  (also our real host & party planner all these years . . . thanks Tiff)

Stephen- A Major General who has had much success with his British troops.

Desirae- An Oxford scholar who is participating in the archaeological dig.

Adam- A Shakespearean actor who is very popular in the theatre.

Nora- A world traveller who is the heiress to her families fortune.

Too fast!

Ok, so I can't deny it anymore, my little baby boy is taking steps . . . standing steadier & steadier . . . more often . . . not just falling to mom & dad when they hold out their arms . . . where did the time go??  I know it's not that early for this kind of thing, he's almost 10 months, but still where did my baby boy go?  Don't get me wrong I am grateful he can play & explore & get to where he wants to be (most of the time depending on the destination) , it's a fun stage of his little life, but I still can't believe he's not a baby anymore!  He's our little man now!  Soon he'll be graduating high school & leaving on a mission (which of course I will have to accompany him on to make sure he's ok ;>) I know good thing I have a few years to get over that one!  So these are my thoughts for the time, Troy, growing right before my eyes, too fast at times, but oh so lovable always!!

Fun, busy life!

Handsome boy for church, standing steady like a big boy!

Playing with my cousin Jake when we visited them for conference weekend, we're only 4 months apart.

We like to share!  Thanks for letting me play with your toys!!

Visiting with my sister Jessica who's a BYU student now (ahhh the memories of Freshman year)!!

Being a good traveling boy for my first loooong trip in the car to Utah!

My first BYU shirt, but definitely not the last!

Found these pictures on my camera as a surprise!  Playing with my Auntie Julie while she babysits me with Grandma, so mom can go be "crafty for a day" at her Super Saturday activity.

More fun!
