the benefits of dental school...

FREE (relatively speaking of coarse, "there's no such thing as a free lunch"), all you can eat, PANDAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a picture of all the 'tins'.

This is a blurry picture of me with all of the tins. I'm happy.

Here you can see the splendor of Panda's goodness. Ohhhhhhh, yeahhh!!!

nothin' new

So... nothing real big is going on. I did pass the part 1 board exam, which I guess is pretty big news... but not exactly something I could have captured on camera. he he. Thank you to everyone who prayed for my safe passage over that mountain. It was a dooooooooosey.
Elijah will be going through some milestones in the next month when the binky goes bye-bye and we transition to the "big boy bed". Potty training still seems a ways away, even though he say's "poo-poo" and "stinky" before, during and after he takes care of his 'business'. We've put him on the toilet and he just laughs and looks at us like we are crazy. Its crazy how challenging he can be one minute and then the next minute Liz and I want to kiss his face off. We love our boys.
That's pretty much it. I am dreading the oncoming summer months, but I guess it is what it is.

what is the best thing to see in the middle of a 5 and a 1/2 hour drive...?

Elijah's Birthday Party!

We celebrated Elijah's 2nd birthday this week here in Mesa. It was a great time. Liz has been watching Ace of Cakes ("I love Food Network!" -Liz) and put together a friggin' sweet Elmo cake. I did individual cupcake Elmo faces, which were pretty awesome... if I do say so myself. By the way, Liz is 6 months pregnant, and not "just hanging her belly out".

No, seriously... Liz made this cake from scratch. Professional huh?!

Elijah was pretty much pooped out by the end of the night. How do I stop my boys from growing up?!
