Lauren Froderman & Dominic Sandoval - "If I Were a Boy"

Obsessed!

miStakE!

I have made a terrible, terrible, very difficult-to-undo mistake! Don't ever, ever train your child to fall asleep with a bottle. This picture, though cute, haunts me day and NIGHT!

Afternoon Off!

James has been so busy, that even when he has work off, he's ALWAYS doing homework. Well, he decided to take some time off and hang with his girls for the afternoon. And what an adventure we had! It started with a delightful lunch at Litza's Pizza, where, as it turns out, we discovered Ava-Kate likes beets. After our bellies were full, it was off to the Fort Douglas Army Museum. Ever since "The Guardian" came out, I've had this love affair with the Coast Guard. Our other favorite were the different displays of helicopters, tanks, and cannons outside. But our most favorite was, it was all FREE! So if you ever have an afternoon off, I suggest you check out the museum, Ava-Kate liked it so much she was out like a light before we even pulled out of the parking lot.

Baby Feet

Ava-Kate has this adorable little quirk about her when she's in her high chair. She rarely lets her feet just "hang there". I don't know how to explain in words what she does, so I'll let the pictures tell this story.

SpRInG!

It's so great that James works downtown because there are so many wonderful picnic places. Now that the weather is getting warmer we're trying to start a new weekly event, Wednesdays with Daddy. Each Wednesday, weather permitting, we're going to try to have lunch all together. This was on the south-east side of the Salt Lake Library. And yes, all of the pictures of us are with food in our mouths, even A.K. :)

180th LDS General Conference

"We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth." Article of Faith 12.

That's right, Conference is underway! I LOVE CONFERENCE WEEKEND! However, I must give credit where credit is due. My mom has taught me to love, and the importance of, listening to our prophets and apostles today. I can think of many times where she would buy a personal radio so that she could listen while at Brett's Saturday basketball games, or Shad's football games. For her, there was no excuse and no reason why you wouldn't, or wouldn't want to listen to the words of the Lord and our Heavenly Father. I'm so grateful for the messages of hope, and guidance, and warning for our lives today.
