Let's call the whole thing off

I finished watching this movie today. (FYI it's super quiet so you may have to turn your speakers up a lot. Oh and you have to click on the sifter to play the video.)

I think they're so charming and funny together. Just look at Fred Astaire's face when Ginger Rogers says 'oysters'!

Why does it take me 3 or 4 days to watch a movie?Oh yeah.

Father's Day

We had a pretty decent Father's Day, I think. Jared bought himself a leaf blower a week or two ago for his present, but the kids and I ended up getting him an apron, stockpot and some candy as well. He took a nap and I made some Parmesan Portobello Farfalle for dinner and strawberry shortcake for dessert. This is him totally faking being asleep, by the way...
Nathan gave Jared a card he'd made in primary (this was about the third time he received it - Nathan kept taking it back).After dinner Jared decided it was high time the kids had crowns so he made them a couple and then we had a coronation ceremony. So cute and bizarre and I seriously love my family. They make me laugh.After the kids were in bed I let Jared win at Aggravation a couple times. It was Father's Day, after all. :)

new clothes!

Um yeah so this post is definitely a tangent but I'm always a little excited when I buy stuff on sale. I just got these shirts for Rylie for next summer. Yay for sales! Yay for sisters who let you borrow their discount credit cards!

These just came in the mail today...
Rylie was pleased.

another Sunday afternoon

outside

Seems the days we go outside are rarer than I thought they'd be this time of year. It's making us appreciate those days a lot more, though, I think.

music

So I was practicing the piano today and Nathan walks in and says, "Is that Mozart?"

Um, yes, yes it is.

Not ten minutes later, Rylie walks up to my guitar stand and starts singing into it like it's a microphone.I can't believe these are my kids. How did I get so lucky?

I type that and then realize the kids are throwing Jared's softballs around my room. Excellent.

sick

The kids were sick yesterday. I think the worst is over now.

mini golf

I've got some catching up to do! I don't have time right now, though, so I'll leave you with a few pictures from when we went miniature golfing last Saturday. It was the kids' first time!
