My family is staying at my parents' house while they are on vacation. We are taking care of the doggies and birdies. Simon didn't stay with us last night (our first night) because he wanted some uninterrupted time to work on the basement at home. He got a lot done and I had fun watching "Shrek" with the kids. When I got up and came out, all three kids were sitting on the couch playing nicely together. We did okay without Simon but as you can see, I think the dogs prefer to have him here. Is Daisy smiling?

Today was a really big day. Kenny got a "day pass" from the center he is staying in. Since mom and dad left for their cruise today and couldn't spend this time with him, mom sent us to Olive Garden for linner (that's lunch/dinner). It was so nice to get to talk to Kenny about his progress, what he is learning, and how he is finding God through this difficult trial. He has put on over 20 pounds in the 22 days he has been there! He looked GREAT and we are very hopeful that he's going to be okay and put this whole nightmare behind him. Until then, we'll just keep loving and praying for him.

Mom is leaving us! Well, only for 10 days but still... We decided that a girl's date to Kneader's was in order. Funny enough, I haven't been to Kneader's since girl's trip in October but I went on Wednesday and Friday this week! We had a very fun breakfast with the crew then Jen had to get home to babysit her other kiddos. Mom came over to my house and we made the valence for my bathroom that has been in the works for about a month now. They are so cute! I plan to take a pic of them once we are able to find the right curtain rod to hang them with. I am going to miss my parents while they're away but I'm glad they get to go on another fun adventure.

Look, it's Jimmy Fallon Amie and Justin Timberlake Heather!! Inside joke but really, I love my BFF. I am blessed to be to super close to my mom, my sister, and have a friend that feels like a sister to me. I have the best support system a girl could ever ask for! Amie came over with her lunch and ate at my bar. Subsequently, my bar's name is "Pieces". Not "Puzzles" like you would think from the popular show How I Met Your Mother. (This post is for you Ames!)

I could kick myself for not getting a pic at brunch today! Erin Coles, Regina Campbell, and I went to brunch at Kneader's today. We've been trying to get together for a while now but it just hasn't happened. I simply adore the girls in my ward and know that the Lord guided us here for many reasons but I'm sure making these friends was a big part of it. I have felt nothing but love and acceptance in my ward and each week when I'm looking for a seat in Relief Society, I know I can sit anywhere and have a friendly face next to me. I'm excited to get to know them even better!
