Ryan's Birthday

We celebrated Ryan's birthday, and we had a great day!

It started out with apple cinnamon pancakes in bed. Breakfast in bed is the best!

Ryan went to work and went out for lunch with the marketing team at Sundance. They have the best food. He's quite the lucky guy. It wasn't for his birthday, but what a great day to go!

We ate delicious spaghetti with mizithra cheese for dinner. I have to say that I love the Spaghetti Factory and wouldn't even know about mizithra cheese if it wasn't for them. I also made french bread to go with it.

Happy Birthday Ryan.

I love you.

Rambutan

Ryan's brother, Brett, is serving an LDS mission in the Philippines. He wrote us one week to tell us he had eaten a rambutan, and that it was surprisingly good.

Ryan and I were at the grocery store a few weeks ago, and we ran into one. We decided it would be fun to try.

The cashier lady rang it up as some exotic mushroom that was $39.99 a lb. Yeah, that didn't last too long. We got it changed, and brought it down to the $9.99 a lb. it should have been in the first place. (We asked Brett how much they cost over in the Philippines. He said $0.50 a lb!)

We cut it open, and found a fruit that looked like a pear, but had more of the consistency/texture of a plum. There was a pit inside that looked like an almond, and was pretty soft. We thought it tasted pretty good, but we probably won't be buying more anytime soon. It was exciting trying something new and out of the ordinary. It was a fun way to make a small connection with Brett when so many miles are between us.

Happy Halloween!

Beckett Loves Kisses

Ryan discovered that when we kiss Beckett's tummy, he just gets so happy. Last night we decided it would be fun to record with our new camcorder. Enjoy!
