Today we went to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point with Lindsey and Westin. It was totally crowded (since every mom in the valley came for $2 Tuesday) but the kids still had fun and were super good the whole time.

For my birthday, Ashton insisted that he needed to go to Best Buy to find me a present. While Josh was returning something at the customer service counter, Ashton was doing his own shopping. By the time Josh finished at customer service Ashton was on his way to checkout with gift in hand and a very helpful and impressed employee in tow. Ashton was holding a box for Wii Karaoke. Apparently he had walked right up to the worker and explained how he wanted to get a game for the Wii for his Mom. So the employee showed him where the Wii games were located. Ashton knew just what he wanted and walked right over to the Karaoke game, announced that it was perfect and they were heading to the front of the store.
So the other night, Josh and the kids busted it out. It was way cute….
Emmy sang all of her Nursery songs
Josh rocked as only Josh can
Emmy responded in the only way anyone else would 
Here is Emmy singing. She LOVES to sing
My sweet, beautiful, way funny cousin, Diana, got married this past weekend in Las Vegas. Thanks to AWESOME Nick and Nicole, we were able to leave our kids for the weekend and party with MOST of my siblings who also were childless for a couple days.
My family went to the Las Vegas Temple open house before it was dedicated in 1985. I was 9 and it was the first temple I had ever been through and I KNEW I would get married there. It is still very beautiful inside.
After the sealing, we went back to the hotel in time to watch the Belmont Stakes (and perhaps place a few tiny bets). It was WAAAAAY fun. The casino got really crowded and everyone was going nuts for about 30 seconds. My life lesson from this experience: Go with your first impression, NOT the popular, safe choice!!!! Oh my goodness! DROSSELMEYER! DROSSELMEYER!!!!
Then we went to GameWorks
Josh won the maximum amount on Deal or no Deal so Jess was determined to win. She decided to follow Josh’s advice and here’s what happened….
Sooooo funny! I LOVE IT!
Later we went to Di’s reception. It was gorgeous and SHE was gorgeous. It was such a great night!
After Diana and Stephen had their first dance, all the couples were invited to join them. I was so excited to dance with Josh and when I turned to find him, he was gone. At first I was annoyed and kind of mad! Then I found him on the dance floor already, dancing with my sweet, SWEET Grandma. Her wedding anniversary happened to be on this very day. My Grandpa passed away two years ago. So you see why tears were immediately burning my eyes and I was sooooo grateful for such a thoughtful, sweet husband. Josh and my Grandma Harris ADORE each other. This was probably the highlight of my whole weekend.
Saturday morning, after almost two weeks of being stuck in the house with unsuccessful potty training and having a very sick little girl, I was wiped out and very grumpy. Josh saved the day, for everyone in our house, by insisting that I go take a nap while he and the kids went on an adventure. THAT sounded fun and I really wanted to go, but recognized my desperate need for sleep.
While I was snoozing, those guys went all over the place! Josh took them to Dakota’s where they fed her HUGE pigs and tiny goats. They went to a park to play. Then they went to another park to feed the ducks and played at ANOTHER playground. AND THEEEEEN Josh took them to McDonald’s.
Josh is the best. I woke up much happier, I cleaned the house a TINY bit, and then wandered around not knowing what to do with myself.
Yeah, I know, it’s time.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
