Father's Day

We had a great Father's Day. We took Sammy out to his favorite indian restaurant a few weeks early because we knew we'd busy the actual Father's Day weekend celebrating with our dad's. Then the week of Father's Day I took Aaron to Walmart just to do something and we got Sammy his favorite cookies, then walked the entire store trying to find something small that Sammy might like. First I tried to find a battery for his watch but that didn't work out. Then I thought maybe a new wristband for it, but I din't have a clue what he'd like. I found some cool pajama pants but I sent Sammy a picture and he didn't like them. So we settled on the cookies. 

We spent a very long time with the cards and finally found a Batman card for Sammy, a Darth Vadar one for my dad, and a sweet one for Sammy's. I wrote a letter inside from Aaron saying all the things he loves to do with his dad. Sammy commended Aaron on his superb handwriting. I had Aaron give Sammy the card and he held it and handed it to him, but then he wanted it back and almost ripped it. 

 We went to my parents for a yummy steak dinner on Saturday. We had a debate on what color Aaron's eyes are. I swear they were green that night just like my mom's, but she thought they were blue like mine. Right now they change every day so I have no idea what they're going to do. 
 Aaron got to sit at the table with us and enjoyed graham crackers and applesauce. He growled the whole time to let us know when he needed more. 
 His new favorite thing is to fight us after his bath and keep rolling over so we can't get him dressed. He had a lot of fun fighting daddy. 
On Sunday I gave a talk on the priesthood in my life and my parents and brother came to hear me. I think the talk went over pretty well. Right afterwards we rushed to Sammy's parents to have lunch. It was a delicious lunch and Aaron had fun playing with everyone. 

I'm grateful that our dad's are nearby and how great of example mine has been in my life. I'm also grateful that Aaron gets to have such an amazing daddy.

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...

I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
