Father's Day 2010 (sorry, lots of catch up posts here)

Jer is not much of a breakfast person, but this time he requested waffles with strawberries and whipped cream, bacon, etc. I think he liked it.

Brayden read the whole Book of Mormon in about a week. We will just say that the $50 incentive from his Dad was the push he needed and lets also just say that I'm pretty sure he did some heavy skimming. But, he did it I guess ;)

Last night I had the best dream ever.

I had just given birth to a beautiful 8 lb baby girl. She had one of those teeny pink bows on her head that just stick on and she was wrapped in a pink blanket. We had told all of our family that we were having another boy and then surprised them all when they came in and saw her. I was sobbing hysterically because I was so grateful.

I so didn't want to wake up!

Did you know the Lego Store gives away free lego kits the first Tuesday of every month? well, neither did I but now I do- and so do you. Of course if you think a teeny thing like above is worth a 2 hour wait in line. They do something that correlates with the month so July was a watermelon, August is a pelican, January is a snowman, December a Christmas tree, etc, etc... Well besides Brayden sticking his foot through the hole on the 2nd level and dropping his flip flop onto the Banana Republic, we had a great time.

Thank you to the kind man in front of me for flagging down a maintenance worker. Thank you to the security guard who told the maintenance worker to try to get it down, and of course THANK YOU to the wonderful maintenance worker for bringing it to us.

I had smacked brayden & written that shoe off. Didn't realize the mall staff would be so helpful!

Dear Becky,

Just thought I would let you know, thanks to your introduction, what, 3 years ago(?) When you showed me how to eat them with popcorn at the movie theatre, I thought you were crazy. But I can't eat popcorn without them now. AND...I order them on my subs at Subway, eat them on my nachos, and order them on my pizza. I even have a big jar in my fridge.

My mouth is always on fire.

Thank you. (sort of)

Sincerely,

{had to snap that cute tiny bum}

The best invention ever made was the camera. There are so many amazing pieces of technology around, but really, if you think about it, the camera is the greatest. (Close second is the washer). I love when I see or have a moment that I know I always want to remember, all I have to do is snap a button, and its mine forever, no matter how bad my memory gets!

This was one of those moments, nothing big, but I felt so happy as I watched Kosty coloring one day, he is so careful to stay in the lines, and he concentrates so hard. It's adorable to watch him. I am so grateful for cameras!
