Nerds

Two out of the three boys now have glasses. (R annoyingly has 20/15 vision.) M likes it when they wear their glasses, which they rarely do because they think they look too nerdy. But nerds are the cutest.

18

R is now 18!

He (barely) passed his driving test today.

We indulged in sushi on his actual birthday. He eats a frightening amount when someone else is paying. Geo actually tried some sashimi for the first time. 

R has come a long way since 2005! Happy birthday!

Wherein the boys try fancy foods

We took the boys to a fancy restaurant thanks to Grandma and Papa's gift card. We fully expected H and G to eat only white rice like they did in Korea. To our surprise, H and G ate a Kobe beef slider with a spicy sauce. G ate tempura shrimp and loved it. To no one's surprise, R devoured expensive oysters and sashimi, though he didn't really care for scallops. All in all it was a successful meal and we will continue to try to get H and G to expand their culinary horizons beyond Five Guys.

Buh is an Instagram star

M submitted some photos of Buh to an Instagram account for photos of Carlsbad Caverns bats. Now he is famous!

Bocket and Becky's wedding

Bocket and Becky made it official and tied the knot today. Geo made the invites.

M made the wedding dress. Luckily, Bocket is already wearing a tuxedo.

Bocket and Becky's friends came to celebrate.

D officiated. Meet the happy couple!

Before and after

 

Fall break follies

M took H and G to ABQ to wrap up her job.  The highlight of the trip was getting a bride for Bocket. Meet Becky!

Also, we tried Cracker Barrel for the first time.

The trampoline park was fun.

M dragged us up an aerial tram, too.

Albuquerque, we will miss you!
