Our New Weed Eater

So Joe has been bugging me to let him buy a trimmer. But our lawn is so small I just didn't see the point. But, we went to Wal-Mart and found this little guy for $20. It was so funny to watch Joe trim our lawn. It took him about 4 times as long as it would've with a normal trimmer. It was hilarious!

Our 1 Year Anniversary

We can finally have our cake and eat it too!

We celebrated our year anniversary while in Michigan at the lake house. When we got back, we finally got to eat the top tier of our wedding cake that had been freezing in Karli's parents' freezer. It was actually way better than we thought it would be! Chocolate with cream cheese filling.... YUMMY!

Iowa

In Iowa, driving to Nauvoo

Nauvoo & Carthage

We stopped in Nauvoo and Carthage on our way to Chicago. We got to see the gorgeous Nauvoo temple. We also went to the grave site of Joseph Smith. The water from the flooding was coming pretty close to the grave. The picture is just a little down the hill from the grave. You can see just the top part of the fence.

Trip to Chi Town!!!

This was our motivation to spend over 20 hours in a car... the Cubs game... and boy was it worth it! Unfortunately we were bad luck to our Cubbies, they couldn't pull it off and lost the next few games.
While in Chicago we visited the "Married with Children" fountain. It was so cool! We also saw the giant kidney bean of Chicago. It was fun to look inside.
