Clam-Sucking Daterfaces

We stole away on another romantic escapade this evening...venturing an entire 100 yards from our front door!

Jessica was at her moon photographizing again - this time from the beach out infront of our home. We then walked back across the street to the Crouching Lion. We enjoyed the most amazing game of darts I've ever undertaken, followed by the most amazing bucket of clams I've even eaten, only to be topped by a competitive game of billards - which was altogether un-amazing because I lost.

However - the clams were really quite spectacular. And with Jessica's employee discount the entire evening, games, clams, drinks, tip and all were under $10. Which just made it all the more a delicious date.

30% More Moon . . . Limited time only

With the romance of a larger, brighter moon - we've been out enjoying many a moonlit evening the past three nights just Jessica, her camera, and I.

Our designated location Wednesday and Thursday was shooting from Kualoa out over the water towards the small off shore island known as Chinaman's hat. She captured a few interesting images of the moonlit sea with some long exposures.

Friday evening she shot from our beach.

They're all the more remarkable when you take into account the fact that it is night and pitch dark out while these are taken besides the bright glow of the moon.

The moon is at its biggest and brightest of the year tonight - so take someone you love by the hand, drag them out to a dark corner somewhere, and take a whole bunch of pictures!

Library Lovin'

We went on a date Wednesday night.

You might wonder . . . what could two lovers do on such a mid-week eve. Well, it just so happens that we wondered the same. And we decided to go to the library!

So we are now the proud possessors of brand-sparkling new library cards!

Jessica was very excited to find the extensive craft and cooking section - as is evinced in the expression captured in this completely candid photo.

And then, we went out for ice cream! But kinda ended up getting chinese food instead. It just smelled so good.

In what has now become one of my favorite date pictures of all time, I managed to capture the view from my side of the chopsticks as Jessica and I were chatting.

Such was our crazy night of library lovin'.

Fertility Pumpkin!

As I sat enjoying the beauty of our carved pumpkin this evening, I had a thought, and a quick search produced the desired resolution...

And yes, if you were wondering as was I, it is true that upon googling 'fertility pumpkin' in google's blogsearch - yours truly is the FIRST result.

So everyone who has been crawling the internet in search of fertile pumpkins, has inevitably found our entry.

Now that's a marvel.

However, after this entry gets posted, the search might instead find this entry. We'll just have to see.

Our Family Portrait

Aptly named the fertility pumpkin - this masterpiece of jack-o-lantern carving came into creation last night.

Here's the how and why . . .

At our Halloween party, Brad and Kerri carved their pumpkin with a stick figure mommy, daddy, and baby. Not wanting to be left out - Liam suggested that we should carve our family portrait . . . and after a few minutes of collective brainstorming, this design was submitted by Jessica - and received unanimous consent!

And so this winky little fella will grace our front porch this season, properly representing our growing family and the hope of things to come!

First year to Eternity

Marriage...is what brings us together...today!

A few mason-jar memories of those happy moments - preserved for posterity, and proud parents alike.

Cornelison Family

While visiting for Jared's return - Jessica took these family photos, and managed to be in them too! Pretty impressive. And what a good looking crew!

This first shot was taken in our back yard - after an exciting day of yummy mexican food - with real mexicans! And don't forget about our return-missionary shopping spree - check out those snappy sweaters!

This second shot was taken at Woodward Park, before we successfully undertook the pumpkin patch corn maze - in a Cornelison celebration tradition for pop's birthday.

The latest craze

We've succumbed.

While we're obviously not the first to embrace a craze - our lives certainly aren't lacking any craziness.

And now that we have our own blog - we can't help but feel a little trendier, a little hipper, and perhaps even a little crazier.

Hoorah for the latest craze. Hoorah for our blog.
