Family night
I had a great night last night. I went to see the play Saturday's Warrior with Danielle, Brett, and Danielle's friend Kori. I wanted the whole family to go but of course we couln't find a night where everyone could go. What a blast from my past. We still listen to the music and watch the corny (but good) DVD, so Danielle and Brett were familiar with it too. I even think they enjoyed it.
Brett, Kori, and Danielle anxiously awaiting Jimmy Flinders.:)

Congratulations Derek!
Derek was baptized yesterday. I can't believe my baby got baptized. We are so proud of Derek. He is such a great, fun, happy, kid. He said after "It feels like there is something like a spirit in my body making me feel good." (Although he did have a little questionable moment when he thought Angel Moroni at the bottom of his tie was a guy shooting a gun.) Blake baptized and confirmed him. He loved that his family got to be on the program. His Grandpa Jim gave a talk on Baptism, and his Grandma Kay gave a talk on the Holy Ghost. They were great. Jake and Danielle said the prayers (without much grumbling). Aunt Simone led the music and Brett even got to hand out the programs.:)
Derek loved that so many of his family and friends were there to support him. Here are just a few of them!

What is your husband's name? Blake
How long have you been together? Married 20 Years next May! Wow.
How long did you date? Just over 2 years.
Who said I love you first? Blake, at the slurpee machine at 7-11. He is terribly romantic.
Who is smarter? We thought we were both pretty smart until our kids hit middle school, now we feel pretty stupid.
Who does the housework? Mostly me, unless I have meltdown. (I save every brochure I get from Merry Maids, wishing and hoping.) Kay taught Blake really well though, he is great at showers and kitchens.
Who sleeps on the right? I do.
Who pays the bills? I do. I have a system too, but I don't think it is working very well!
Who cooks dinner? Jose' at McDonalds.
Who drives when you are together? I can't remember it has been too long. We are always coming from different directions. I hate to drive so it is a big treat when Blake gets to drive us.
Who is more stubborn? We argued over who was more stubborn. I won the argument that he was more stubborn, so it must be me.
Who kissed who first? Blake, It really was terribly romantic.
Who asked out whom first? Neither, we were set up by my cousin Angie.
Who proposed? Blake did at the Temple. I had no idea, I thought we were there for a performance he had to watch for school. It was great.
Who has more siblings? Blake of course.
Who wears the pants? Blake....mostly.
I tag Brooke Westlund. :)

Ironman
Blake took the day off today because of all of the different places we had to be - and everything got cancelled because of the rain! Blake and I took advantage of this rare occurance and took Brett and Derek to the movie to see Ironman. (Of course Jake and Danielle found something else to do real quick.) It was my idea of a great afternoon. When we got home Derek was busily coloring, cutting and taping. This is what he came up with. (Ironman, in case you couldn't tell). It warms my heart to see that at least one of my children can be creative!
