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.

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
