Weekend Mirths

Jeff had this really great idea.  To carry it out, we headed to Sweet Tooth Fairy to get dessert.  We left loaded down with 3 scrumptious cupcakes to eat as the finale to Jeff's brilliant idea.  Then as we drove away, all three of us watched as the finale splattered on the road and sticky frosting coated some lucky person's tires. Sad. Extremely sad.  Luckily, we were able to recover and after whipping up a dessert at home, we packed it up along with some dinner and drinks and our baby boy, and headed to our favorite spot on campus.
On our way up, Sawyer showed us what he's into these days: snuggling his little blankie and sitting up straight.

 

Once we arrived for our picnic dinner, we realized we hadn't been up to the balcony on the Joseph F. Smith Building since Jeffrey first decided he was good and ready to kiss me, and what with that sweet memory in mind and all, we had smiles on our faces for the rest of the night.

 

 Unfortunately, the smiles didn't last us the whole weekend due to a depressingly unsuccessful attempt to find mama bear an awesome pair of colored jeans for summer, and an equally depressing amount of time spent reading the most depressing book series, The Hunger Games.  I know, I must be crazy not to love it, but I have a hard time enjoying violence and teen romances in the first place, so this book just reinforced all that.  The fun part was that Jeff and I read the books simultaneously, so there's was lots of "where are you?" "can you believe that?" "what's going to happen?!?!?!?" And when it was all over the family had a cuddle fest to ramp up the warm fuzzies in our home and chase away all that depression. Phew.
