April

Just a few pictures in a feeble attempt to get caught up...

At a local production of "Charlotte's Web," which was pretty cute and mostly enjoyable, although Antonia had a hard time getting her head around the fact that the spider and the pig were the same size (played by adult women.)

On a lovely spring evening when Will was out doing church stuff, I picked up dinner and we took a picnic to the park. Side note: Eve ALWAYS eats like she means it.

Apparently I made the worst mistake of my life when I picked the park, which was a dog hangout. I may as well have carried Antonia right into the jaws of hell. Dogs swarmed, Antonia screamed, I tried to hightail it out of there as quickly as we could with small children, baby, food, stroller et al.

Eve was tickled pink that Antonia left this "snack" laying around for her munching enjoyment. She's on that seafood diet...(she "seafood," she eat it)  Antonia was...not so thrilled. 

This is Eve's official kissing face. I hope she still kisses like this when she's, like, 22 and she finally starts kissing boys... 

Love those dimples!

She must know how much I love the movie "Rocky," and that's why she always gives me the one-eye-swollen-shut grin.

    Antonia wanted to have her picture taken in this blue shirt, I think because it has a sparkly pocket? and so of course I indulged her, like the overindulgent mother that I am.

From the camera-

just another day in paradise

Visiting Will for lunch- Eve had to try every single locker to see if she could get into one. No such luck. I probably won't teach her to pick locks until she's at least six.

My baby brother graduated from BYU and I bravely took the kids to Provo sans Will, but it was all worth it just so that I could stand next to him and pretend like we were taking a picture together, even though he was busy talking to cooler people. In related news, his wife Jenessa is amazing (and she's a brownish area! with points! and I love her!)

Anyway, other than events marked by photographic evidence, I was having a hard time remember way back in April so I searched through old text messages for clues as to some noteworthy goings-on. Here's what I found:
           -Lori and Sean went to a Cirque de Soleil shoe. (Jealous.)
           -Will resorted to texting me pictures of ties because the man has a hard time pairing shirts and ties. (Too bad Old Navy doesn't do those snazzy shirt/tie combos for grown men. We'd be all over that.)
           -Charlie was not able to give a presentation at school on his appointed day so we had to leave a blender full of smoothie ingredients in his classroom over the weekend
           -My family sat in Portal E Section 6 Row 19 of the Marriott Center for Evan's Commencement. (Or is it Convocation? I always get those mixed up...)

Soooo...that was obviously a fruitful exercise, especially if you don't know the meaning of the word "noteworthy." Just wait until next month, when I start looking through old receipts and credit card statements for hints as to how we spent our time. It's bound to be juicy.
