but, I’m not. I should be at the gym. But….I’m not. My husband is fishing with the boys instead. I should be doing the dishes. But….I’m not. I’m procrastinating on that one since there is only a few. I should be putting the last minute touches on our Relief Society Activity for tomorrow. But….I’m not. I’m a little overwhelmed with that one, only because I’m not sure how it’s going to turn out. I pray it all comes together, and it comes across how it was originally intended to. {The sister who was planning this activity moved last week!}
So, I was released from my calling at church. If only we were given a break from callings….at least for a month! That would be nice! Nope! No such luck. My previous calling was the Relief Society Activities Coordinator. {After 2 years, I have finally figured out the name of my calling, only to be released! Go figure!} I am now the Relief Society 2nd Counselor, or, the Activities Counselor. Which means now I don’t “plan” the activities, I just oversee them. Hopefully it won’t be as “stressful” as before. We’ll see.
So, instead of worrying about Church right now, I will post pictures of our weekend! Saturday was my Mother-in-law’s birthday. Can I just say that I have the best Mother-in-law EVER! Hands down, the best! I hate the title –in-law. It makes it sound so formal. And she means so much more to me than –in-law! I am so grateful for her and all she does for our little family.
We had everyone over for dinner after church on Sunday. We had a salad, rolls, and steak. Move over Ruth’s Chris….I think we had you beat! The steak was to die for! And, you need to try the rolls…they don’t disappoint. I couldn’t try them, but they smelled and looked really yummy.
I made the cupcakes. Ester arranged the flowers. And the kids played with the balloons. {We all did our part!}
Cookies and cream cupcakes. I can’t WAIT for 9 more months when I can try these bad boys out! They looked yummy. Not sure if they were or not….I just have to take my husbands word for it. Which is really hard for me to do. Then inside of them had chunks of oreos, and an oreo at the bottom. How can you go wrong?
We invited Bo Bo {Brother Ankney, a member from our ward that we ADORE!} He loves the kids, and instigated a balloon war. To.Much.Fun!
Parker wanted to hold Parleigh. We set her on his lap, and she tried to “nurse” on his arm. He started laughing, so she would laugh, and then he would laugh, and then she would “nurse” on his arm again, so he would laugh, then she would laugh…and on it went for a couple minutes. They were both loving it.
so stinkin' cute!!! Fabulous reasons to 'procrastinate'. :)
ReplyDeleteFun! Wish I could have been there! Those pictures of Parleigh and Parker are sooo cute! Love that dress :) What a cute big brother!
ReplyDeleteFun! And, it's ok to procrastinate ;) I do it all the time! Leave those dishes. They can wait! hehe
