The Zoo

Aaron has been to the zoo twice in his short life. We have a sweet friend who brings us with her on her zoo pass. The first time we went it was a bit cold and Aaron's stroller faced me so he wasn't able to really see any of the animals. This second time we went I was excited for him to actually see the animals. Aaron however didn't really care. He rides in this stroller quite often but he's never sat like this before. He refused to hold his head up so I tried to prop it with a blanket. 
He just sat there like that through most of the zoo. I tried to get him to look at animals and took him out a few times, but all he would look at was his little friend we were with. The only animal he actually looked at were the bats because they flutter around so quickly. 

Aaron had lunch by the gorillas and I had some much needed friend time. After eating I peeked at Aaron in his stroller and found this little sweetheart. I'd been a little stressed because we were going to miss his morning nap when he usually sleeps an hour and a half to two hours, but he was actually okay. 
The whole car ride home from the zoo he jabbered in the back and experimented with how loud he could get. His friend was worried that he was crying but we kept assuring him that he was just being silly. We had fun at the zoo and I can't wait to go again when Aaron is more aware of the animals.  

Also, it was hilarious to count all of the pregnant women there. My friend is pregnant and we saw at least ten other pregnant women. Mad props to them because I couldn't walk that far when I was pregnant, and that was without a little person to take care of.

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...
