Rough Sunday

I'm sure all you parents out there will agree that 1:00 church time is brutal for the little ones. Tate had it especially rough this last Sunday. He was either falling asleep during dinner or crying. There was really no in between. He would get so close to sleep and his head would nod off, and then he'd wake up again. We didn't dare put him to bed for fear he'd be up all night, so we just let it go, but it was bad. He was so cross! I think we'll have to do some research on church times before we buy our next home. I refuse to buy a home with 1:00 church! Tate needs his Sunday nap and so do I!

Eyelashes to Die For

I have a confession to make. I am totally jealous of my son's eyelashes. I don't really think it's fair that a two-year old boy has the long lashes that I've always wanted. He doesn't even care about lashes like I do. I have to cake on the mascara to make it even look like I have eyelashes. Lucky boy! I guess nobody ever said life was fair.

My Brush With Fame!

We had a Relief Society party the other night and Brooke Walker from KSL Studio 5 was the guest speaker. She was so great and even didn't mind having her picture taken with some of us. I generally don't get to mingle with many celebrities, so it was really fun to see her in person. The party was a obviously a hat party and I had so much fun seeing all the cute hats, especially the Aretha inauguration look-alike, hand-crafted by my friend Celeste. She is one talented girl! I have made some great friends in this ward and I'll really miss them when we move. They are great examples to me and we have so much fun together!

Friday Fun!

For a fun Friday activity, my dad took the kids to the model train show at the Union Station in Ogden. They really liked the model trains and had a good time looking around. Then they stumbled upon an exhibit that held them mesmerized for quite some time. It was a miniature Radiator Springs city from the movie "Cars." It was very impressive! They had cars there that I had never seen before and all the cute little shops from the movie. What a great Friday activity! Thanks Grandpa!
