Londyn's new fake smile

Londyn's fake smile

I said "Smile!" and she said "cheese".  I didn't tell her to.  She just did.

My mom's house gets way more light than mine.  I'm jealous.  We're still in Vegas, obviously.  Will is in California for training this week.  So since we'd be coming back on Saturday for Nathan's (non)homecoming, we just stayed down here for the week.  Jacey was bummed to miss 2 weeks of preschool in a row, but she always has a blast here with Grandma & Grandpa.  This week has been no exception.  She's rediscovering that her Uncle Nate is just as big of a tease as her dad is.  We've gone swimming a couple of times and she's getting more and more comfortable in the water. 

We spent most of our day today shopping for new clothes for Nathan.  Apparently he grew a little bit in the last 2 years.  He's taller and skinnier.  Don't get me started on how unfair that is.  I did, however, find an amazing clearance sale at Aéropostale and ended up with 3 shirts, a pair of jeans and a pair of capris, all for under $35.  Not bad! 

Londyn's been saying a lot of new words this week.  Today I heard "pickle" and "yogurt", two things I've never heard her say before.  Should it worry me that most of the words she can say involve food?  Her first word was "tickle", but after that it was "popcorn", "broccoli", and maybe a "Mama" or "Dada" thrown in there somewhere.  Will was really miffed that she learned "broccoli" before "Daddy."

DSC_4690So Pilgrim's Landing ladies . . . are you going to Enrichment tomorrow?  I'm not there (obviously) but my donated service for the service auction is to take some photos for somebody.  And I do know how pathetic this sounds, but . . . will somebody please bid on it for me?  I know I'm not a pro or anything but if I get a call from Michelle Bacon saying "Sorry, nobody wanted you to take pictures for them," I'm going to feel really, really stupid. 

Okay, gotta wrap this up so I can go get the girls out of the tub before AI starts.  I'm a junkie, truth be told.

I'm jealous that you are there and I am here. I'm also jealous of all the clothes you got for $35. I love shopping in Vegas.

If I was in your ward I would bid on your service. Although I'm sure plenty will . . . You’re very talented.

Arghh! I hate when you write a comment then it for some reason deletes it. Anyway...

I love Londyn's fake smile. I also love that most of her words involve food. That's my kind of girl!

I'm glad you're having fun in Vegas. I'm jealous. I've been a single mom for the past little while here myself. It's May!!! "Busy season" is supposed to be over!!!

I wish I was still in the PL ward, I would have bid on it for sure. Of course I have to move BEFORE the service auction. This has now happened to me in 2 different wards.

I'm with Marie. Jeans AND three shirts for $35. I'll have to make my way over to Aeropostale. And I too would bid on your photography services. All of the girls in your ward who look at your blog will know that's a big ticket item.

I hope you heard already that your service was the one everyone saved their points for, and was viciously fought over! I LOVE your photos. Can I pay you to take some outdoor ones of my kids? I'm being totally serious.
