During family council last week we talked about having a goal to enjoy summer. Eli went to a morning kids camp with friends from church on Tuesday so Austin and I had a date to Target and found bubble guns for the boys. They were thrilled and play with them for hours at a time with lots of giggling.
I love when our lilac tree has bloomed!!
Aaron picked up some sunflowers for me this week!
We spent Wednesday with the Davis fam and Alex gave us all haircuts. Then I watched my friends boys on Thursday and Eli set up a barber shop in the backyard.
Every week when I go through the pictures on my phone, I find little surprises like this. :)
And Saturday night I went with friends to see Boys II Men. It was supposed to be with Paula Abdul, but they announced she wouldn't be performing and we could get a refund for our tickets if we wanted to leave. Ann and I didn't know a lot of New Kids on the Block songs (they were also performing, but they were a little ahead of our boy band times) so we left and got our money back. Haha so we saw Boys II Men for freeeeeeee and made it home by 9:30 p.m. so we weren't extremely exhausted for church on Sunday.
Today I taught Relief Society and the topic was "Home - the Basis of a Righteous Life." I got a text Saturday morning asking if I'd teach it and even though I didn't have a ton of time to prepare, I thought it went pretty well. This quote really stood out to me - "I speak to fathers and mothers everywhere with a plea to put harshness behind us, to bridle our anger, to lower our voices, and to deal with mercy and love and respect one toward another in our homes." President Hinckley. I'm continually praying for patience and the ability to remain calm in my parenting. I need help!
Aaron made us dinner tonight and then didn't even eat with us! He had a meeting at the church. He's a pretty amazing guy. And we've had three friends lose loved ones this week so we decided to make treats and take to them. I made this lemon bread and as I was printing out a card to attached with it, Austin ate the top of the bread. :) So I made blondies and Rice Krispy treats to deliver instead.
