Sense of Style

I went shopping by myself and came home with this shirt. I was walking out the door to bunko when I was asked if I was going to wear THAT shirt...so long story short he hates the shirt I liked it. Do I just have no sense of style? Here is the shirt I will put a poll on the side so you can vote. I am a big girl. I can handle the truth, but I'm still not completely convinced that it's such a bad shirt. Please help me out and give me the HONEST truth on the anonymous poll.

Aquarium

We went to the Aquarium last week and the kids liked it. It was pretty good for a local aquarium. Everyone loved touching the rays.






Jacob loved the sharks and took a bunch of pictures. I am partial to pictures with people in them so I picked this one for the post, we just balanced the camera and used the timer.


I love this picture of the family there are so many good smiles. Jeremy was mad that someone put bunny ears on him for the first picture so he did an intentional grumpy face on this one. I didn't realize it until we had left. I really want to photoshop a new smile for him, do you think that's ok, or would I be "changing history"?

Twins!

No, I am not making any kind of an announcement. I already have twins - 2 sets.

Aren't these two of the cutest kids ever? They now call themselves twins. Every night they try to wear the same PJs so they can match. Then they sit together in the front room chair (they call the twin chair) for scriptures, and giggle about how they are twins. They crack me up....well except for the part where they empty their PJ drawers every night looking for the same PJs. I just put them in one of those sweater holders so they can find matching pairs without contributing so much to the amount of laundry I do. Even then, those smiles are worth some extra laundry!

Looking for good news?

California voted to preserve marriage between a man and a women!

People believe in the institution of marriage," Frank Schubert, co-manager of the Yes on 8 campaign said after declaring victory early Wednesday. "It's one institution that crosses ethnic divides, that crosses partisan divides. ... People have stood up because they care about marriage and they care a great deal."

Snow!?

I was grinding wheat this morning and didn't click the flour bin in tight. When we opened the pantry door I said, "It looks like it snowed!" Joshua immediatly flopped on his back and started making a snow angel. My camera was on the counter so I had to have a picture.

We rode bikes in 70° weather this morning, and now snow! It was just this morning my mother-in-law was telling me how beautiful the snow is at her house. Snow or not, we have snow angels.

This is him wiping the dust off of all the cans in the pantry after. What a good little helper :)
