Pure Evil

Ironically the only insect known to "pray" is in fact Satan incarnate. There is nothing more evil than the praying mantis. Also Darren is evil for putting this horrifying image on my beautiful imac, it is an abomination to me. But congratulations are in order for Darren and Natalie, who have a beautiful new 7lb baby girl. Her name was still undetermined as of this posting to my knowledge. I believe the mantis is eating the head of a grasshopper. Pure Evil.

New Red Couch

Here is the giant red couch that we bought for a belated Christmas gift. It is huge in our little room, but really comfy. It will be better when we remodel the room to have a built in entertainment center above the fireplace, but for now, well you see the pics.

Finally!

Most importantly of all we have the best Christmas present ever, Lindsay is pregnant! Maren, I apologize for the overuse of exclamation marks but that's just how it's going to be. She is due the first week in August. We are very excited and you can see the little baby ticker on the side that I stole from Maren's blog. Now I think I am caught up with blogging and I am finally in on this internet phenom of posting the intimate details of your life with a world that doesn't really care.

Cruisin'

That my friends is the Carnival Elation. The entire Harris clan (29 persons) took a 4 day cruise down to Cabo San Lucas. It was awesome. To be fair many got sick so it wasn't so awesome for them (Lindsay included) but there were still bouts of awesomeness for even those who were sick. We had gourmet amazing meals from which I took home about 15 pounds of (not even kidding sadly), and a good time as only a carefree lawless Mexico can provide. Following are many pictures of the trip, even the allusive one armed Mexican water Taxi driver that cannot be found on Maren's blog or anywhere else that I know of online, so keep your eye peeled for that little treat. 

Our house at Christmas time

Tyrell is going to Montana

Lindsay's brother Tyrell got his mission call to Montana. Luckily his mission president is the CEO of Don Julio tortilla chips.

Dad strikes again

Dad gets in two consecutive posts but he earned it with this one.

Ugly cars.

You think these cars are boxy, then check out this 17 pound roast Dad victoriously and proudly walked in with (unrelated). The silver car (Scion xb) is our car and the orange (Honda Element) is Maren and Robs. We love our car even though it is, how you say? "gangsta". It has lots of interior space and an ipod hook up, what else is needed?

Dave's house. (note Dave does not even own a Toyota)

NewYork can be scary.

Lest you forget.

Around the time of September 11th, we took a little trip out to Washington D.C. to visit Dave and Melina. It was loads of enjoyment. We walked like pioneer children to see all the monuments and such and even made a little trip up to a little town known as NewYork city (it is not a little town for those unfamiliar with the area).
