My Favorite Place...by Berkley

I have a few places around the house that I love to be. A few weeks ago I took a nap with my Moshi.

My new favorite place is sitting right here.....

With a big smile on my face.

Weekend Update (extended version)

We had a busy yet refreshing weekend. On Friday night Bruce and I flew to Phoenix to attend the sealing of Ryan and Sally M (all of you ward readers...member them?). The older kids were tucked safely away with the 'other parent' and Berkley was spending some quality time with Aunt C. We were able to sleep in and lounge at the hotel until our ride came to get us. I don't want to take away from the special feelings and experience of the temple, but boy!!!! it was nice to sleep in, eat breakfast, go sleep some more and basically see how little we could do until 1pm. Note to Jen: I did go and run at the fitness center and THEN went back to sleep.

The temple was so nice and the spirit really touched me. We went through a session with them and then went straight to the sealing. It was sweet to see them get sealed but even sweeter to see the kids be sealed to them...I have never attended a family sealing before.

We ate dinner and retreated back to our hotel heaven. We started to watch Sweeney Todd but promptly fell asleep (and I'm glad we did because it seemed a little gruesome. I'm officially afraid of barbers now). Sunday morning we perfected our lounging, and napping until we had to depart.

We got home about 5:30pm last night to a sweet little girl who had been to the zoo and made cupcakes with her auntie. She gave us the proper amount of hugs and kisses and spontaneously said "I missed you mommy."

My heart melted.

Have you ever....

....seen anything as cute as this? It's going to be a good day.

HELP

Does anyone have the book Flicka? If so can I borrow? Well.....can Kennedy borrow it? She needs to read a book about an animal (fiction is fine, but not fantasy) and at least 200 pages.

Thank you.

Laverne & Shirley

This is what I used to watch after school every day. I loved it. What did you watch after school?

bTunes

I usually listen to Podcasts on my way to work but I've heard them all and need to download some more. I was forced to listen to music (or I could have chosen to listen to the man behind me snore).

My bTunes(bus tunes) were:

Barry Manilow - Could it Be Magic (I skipped it after about 20 seconds)
Bare Naked Ladies - Another Postcard
Wicked - Popular
Soulja Boy - Crank Dat
Bare Naked Ladies - Old Apartment
Harry Connick Jr. - In Love Again
KT Tunstall - Suddenly I See
Wicked - The Wizard and I
Bill Engvall (comedian) - Golf
Men At Work - Down Under

Honestly - I don't know how Barry Manilow got on my iPod. Really, I don't.

Pssst....In case you've been living in a cave for the past 18 months it's election day. Vote!!!

One more thing....I loved "Stepped On a Duck" instead of using the f word. I think we will work on that one being our phrase of choice.

The "F" word!

We were sitting at the dinner table last night and suddenly Berkley announced, "I farted." Of course we laughed and I told her to say "I had gas." I think she learned it at daycare because we typically don't use the "F" word. Then I told her to say "I fluffed." Bruce hates that word-which is why I suggested it :-)

So what phrase is better? Fluffed? Gas? Bubble? Any other suggestions?
