concert

I am so excited! Clark is taking me to a Collective Soul concert tonight. Neither of us are HUGE fans, but he got the tickets free at his work so we're going. I am just pumped to go to a concert with my honey.

Other news . . .

Rosie stayed in nursery the entire time last week. :)

Will is almost completely potty-trained (minus a few accidents here and there)

Our car broke down again :(

I, for the first time, read "Anne of Green Gables" I LOVED it! Such a cute book with such flare.

Tea Party

Great Grandma Anderson invited us over for "tea" yesterday. It was so much fun! The girls made egg salad sandwiches, artichoke dip, pinwheels, and strawberry-banana shishkabobs. Everyone made a hat out of paper. When I asked Rosie if she wanted one, she said, "hmm mmm" so we sat her down and put the paper on her head. When we were taping it, she started crying so we quickly finished. Will was allowed to dress up as a cowboy since he was the only boy there.

Our eyes look a little funny in this picture because we tried to do "red eye" but it ended up blacking them out, so then we tried "blemish remover" and that made it worse.

The mind of a 3 year old

Two Sundays ago, Will asked if Rosie could go to nursery with him. I told him that she had to get a little bigger and then she could go. He thought for a moment, then said, "I know what to do. We take her little head off and put a big head on. Then she's bigger." Oh the mind of a 3-year-old!

On the subject of nursery, Rosie goes to our ward's nursery for the first time this Sunday. Last Sunday, we were in Logan attending Clark's cousin's mission homecoming. We tried taking Rosie to nursery, but after 30 minutes, she decided she had enough.

Going Private

After lengthy consideration, I have decided to go private. I know it's a pain to have to sign in and everything, but I think it's for the best. Plus, Clark's been begging me to since I started this blog. If you could e-mail me and let me know you'd like to keep looking at the blog by June 30th, that'd be wonderful.

On a different note, we've moved for the summer and I was smart enough to bring my camera, but not smart enough to bring my cord that attaches it to the computer. So . . . I'll still be blogging during the summer, but not putting up pictures. Bummer I know.

Girls Night Out and Mom's Birthday

What a fantastic weekend!! Ashley, Jessica, and I decided to have a GNO on Friday and it was SO fun! We went to "17 Again" and it is now my favorite chick flick. It is so cute and such a feel good movie. Then we hit up "Chili's" for molten cakes. We ended up staying until 11:30 then we realized we were the last ones in the restaurant and that they had closed at 11. We continued our girl chat at Ashley's house and didn't stop chatting until 1 in the morning! I haven't stayed up that late in years, but I absolutely loved it. It rejuvenated me, made me so grateful for Clark, and for good friends.

Saturday we celebrated my Mom's birthday by helping her plant trees in her yard. When she moved in, it was all rocks and tumbleweeds, but she has beautiful plans for it. She's planting lilac & rose bushes and elm & spruce trees. Next year we'll put in grass and a garden. Here's Amy, Clark and Laura digging in the dirt.

I am so grateful for my mom. She always sees the bright side of things and gives me hope even if life gets hard. She is beautiful inside and out. I love how we have the same taste in books, movies, clothes, and even lotions. She has taught me so much about love and life. I love my Mom!!
