So, I think my husband is pretty great! (most of the time) The other day when I came home from work, he had a beautiful dinner made up for me! He is such a wonderful cook.. when he wants to be!
So, here is a picture of our dinner. I got to babysit Ella while Sarah, Chris, & Sophie went to the store to buy fishing stuff for Sophie! So she got to attend our dinner as well.
Thank you so much hunny... I love you!
Shake Shake Shake... don't let the sugar burn!
Add some salt... and .... mmmmmm...... it was amazing!
Here is the recipe we found... thanks to:
http://seattlest.com/2007/02/23/oh_joy_homemade_kettle_corn.php
As the name suggests, kettle corn must be made in something approximating a kettle (we used a 4-quart saucepan with a lid); an air popper (which for conventional popcorn is great) simply won’t do. This makes a largish portion for one, but feel free to double it.
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup popcorn kernels
2 tablespoons white sugarkosher salt to tastemelted butter (optional)
In your saucepan, heat the oil and popcorn kernels over medium-high heat, shaking the pan to keep the kernels from burning. When the kernels are about to start popping, they will become slightly lighter in color, and most importantly, they will start to smell like popcorn. At this point, sprinkle the sugar over the kernels and cover. With the lid on, continue to cook the popcorn by gently shaking the pan over the heat. When the popping has slowed (don’t keep cooking until the very last kernel has popped, you will end up burning the sugar), remove the pan from heat and empty the popcorn into a large bowl. Toss with salt immediately (when the sugar on the popcorn is still hot and sticky, the salt will adhere to the kernels better) and sprinkle with melted butter if you like. Enjoy while still warm.
Here is Sarah & Papa trying to get Sophie's kite up in the air.
Mu & Sophie got distracted! They ended up playing with the bonkers!
Ella & I had some bonding time! This is what she did!
My Dad made me this really nice box (the wooden one) with hooks on it so I can hang it on the railing of my patio! He is so talented and did such a WONDERFUL job! 
I picked out these flowers on Monday, and tonight Mom & I planted them! I think they turned out really nice! I cannot wait to get them home and up on my patio!
My dad made the holes.
I broke apart all the plants.
And Mom & Andrew planted!
Sandy rested!
Here is just a cute one of Ella in her new sling. 
And here is one of Ella when we got back to the car. Sarah wanted to feed her quick before we left. She is such a sleepy-head!!
Here is a picture of the Fayette Ward Primary Children who participated in the Parade. The theme was Abraham Lincoln so Sister Baker made these cute pennies for them to wear, as well as a flag for each of them.
Our missionaries were able to get this sign from the Mission office. They marched at the head of our group and passed out Pass Along Cards. They were also able to stay a little after the parade and talk to people. What a great missionary opportunity!
Here is the cutest girl in the Parade! Sophie was all dressed in Red, White, & Blue! She LOVED to wave her flags!
Here Sophie is during the parade riding on Uncle Andrew's shoulders! She is just to CUTE!
Here is one of her Doctor holding her up.

Here is one of Andrew & I in front of a tulip tree.
This is when things started to go downhill. All of a sudden the sky went gray. The clouds covered us and it got dark. It was sprinkling, so we did what all intelligent people do. We sought shelter under a large tree. 
Here is one of Andrew in the tree.
One of Sarah & Sophie.
ewwww.... kisses!
Now for the best part of the story. After the above picture we had to make our way through the crowd. I was pushing the stroller and a woman stopped RIGHT in front of me. So, I stopped and Sarah ran into me. All I felt was baby belly in my back! Then I hear her laughing and saying, "go, go, go. We have to get out of here." ...She had peed her pants! We all started laughing hysterically which made her pee even more! It was SO funny!
Andrew really wanted to go to the Olive Garden for lunch/dinner. Do you think they would have let us in looking like this? Probably NOT! We went to Target and had to get dry clothes... then off to Olive Garden we went!
Two weeks ago we spent a little time in the
Dad to the rescue! When he got home from the Temple 
Sophie taking Sandy for a walk? 
We finished our afternoon with a popsicle!
Fun Fun Fun!!!
These ones are for my Grandmother who died of Breast Cancer & my Great Grandfather who died of colon caner.
Actually it was kind of sad. It was raining and the wind was blowing a little. Some of the bags we catching on fire. I am so glad that none of our bags caught on fire while we were there. Ugh, that would have been awful.
