Christmas was a blast!!

Well Christmas 2007 was a total blast!! Laura and I went to Utah for a few days to see all the clan up there and that was awesome! All of the kids were home so that made it really fun. It was 25 degrees outside during the day and there was snow everywhere!! We had our Christmas up there Saturday night and then flew back to AZ on Sunday. Christmas at the Cardon's was awesome as well!! All the Cardons were home and we had great times! It was really fun chillin and hangin out, all together it was a fantastic Christmas!!!

This weekend we had a lot of fun with Uncle Dave and Aunt Michelle comin into town! Laura and I got a few pics next to our christmas tree, Laura has done an awesome job making this garland, and we put candy canes all over it, so we can eat them all after Christmas. We should finish decorating the tree this weekend sometime. We all went to Tia Rosa's with Uncle Dave and Aunt Michelle then we played some wii at at our house after! Good Times!! Uncle Dave did a rockin job at bowling... but not so much at tennis, hahaha. Saturday morning Laura and I watched nephew Nate, and he was jammin out to Bob Marley as we fed him his lunch, he was bobbin his head to the beat and lovin it.

Hola Amigos!!

Well here we are finally updating our blog. Sorry its taken me forever. We have awesome news though, and I'm sure a lot of you all already know, but we found out two weeks ago that we are having a boy!! We are sooo excited!! His name will be Jack Douglas Elder... what a stud. We are very very excited and are looking forward to having him bless our lives. Laura is doing great, she is looking fantastically beautiful and is feeling great. She is working for her dad's health care company and is liking that. Work is going good for me at University of Phoenix. School is good and I only have four more classes to complete and then I am done!! Woo hoo!! Things are going awesome. We feel very blessed and are so grateful for everything that has taken place lately, we are sooooo excited. Here are some pics of Thanksgiving... enjoy

Laura's Bday

We had a nice celebration for Laura's Bday. Analee, Charly, Naters, Ashlee, and Dan all came over the night before her 23rd Bday to have pizza and hang out. It was really fun. Then we went out to eat with Grandma-ma Giles for her Bday lunch!! Holla!

What up!

I don't really know what to say in these blog things, but here are some pics you can all enjoy of Laura and I's (grammer)wedding. The wedding was really neat and special. Everything was put together well and Uncle Sam married us. It was the best thing ever looking at Laura and holding her hand and saying "I do" to committing my everything to her, and it was the raddest thing hearing her say "I do" as well! I was like, "yes"!! We have been married now just over a month and it has been awesome! Enjoy the pics

Smitten and Engaged

What up family and friends! So here we are trying out this new blogspot thingy, we thought we could make our own page to keep everyone updated on the haps. As you all know I asked the lovely Laura to be my wife on Thursday September 13, 2007. It was such an awesome night!! We went to outback steak house, Laura was craving prime ribs... yummm, and I was going to wait until after dinner to ask her, but I couldnt wait. Before we ate she went to the ladie's room and I slipped our server the ring and asked him to bring it out when we wanted our "dessert". After we ate I asked for the "dessert", she wasn't too excited to eat the so called dessert that I had ordered and I reassured her that she would like it, and if not then I would eat it all. Then the server brought the ring and she was sooo shocked!! She loved it! I asked her to marry me and told her how much I love her and she said yes!! Afterwards we went to the temple and walked around the grounds and had a really special time there. I am so excited to have Laura as my wife. I feel so grateful to Heavenly Father for bringing us into eachother's lives. This is going to rock!! Enjoy a couple pics of us...
