I love crabby patties

Okay, so this has been in my head for like a week. So I thought I would share this lovely clip with all of you. Yeah, I'm awesome! Spongebob is cool!

Good times

Aaron and I went to the Face to Face concert last night and had a blast! Face to Face is a punk rock band that broke up a couple years back and just got back together. They are older. Aaron and I were guessing around 40 and all the people there had to be late 20s early 30s. We were laughing at ourselves because we felt out of the "scene." We made a list of things to laugh at.

You know you are old when:

-You roll up to a punk rock concert in a mini van

-You can't get in the mosh pit because you are lactating

-You are exhausted before the opening band even starts

-You debate going home to watch a movie instead

-You can't stay out to late because you have to go pick up the kids

-You try to sing along but forgot the words

-You try to rock out but your back starts hurting

Those are just a few things that we were laughing at ourselves for. But, seriously we had so much fun. That would have to be one of the crazier mosh pits I have seen. It was a whole bunch older washed out dudes who were 200 plus and drunk as can be. Back in the day I would have had no problem going in the mosh pit and gettin chucked around but I just couldn't do it! I was alittle disappointed in myself but I decided I had nothing to prove. Aaron was itchin to go in so the last song (which was insane) he got in. You might not want to read this but that kinda turned me on! I'm weird, I know! During the concert I was thinking about all the concerts I have been to and all the different people I have seen and I remembered a few things that really made me laugh.

I saw the craziest mosh pit during Pennywise! I seriously thought I was going to die! It was awesome!

I passed out during Rancid because I got so hot. I really don't do well when I get hot. I woke up outside and they wouldn't let me back in.

I passed out at Warp Tour in Salt Lake because some big dude crowd surfed on my head, I felt a pop and don't really remember anything after that. My friend said everyone crowd surfed me up to the front while I was passed out. I don't remember but that's awesome!

My best friend had a gallon of water chucked at her face and then like two mins later a sports drink hit her in the face. I laughed pretty hard when I thought of that!

Although we had fun, we decided the concert life just really isn't for us anymore. That probably wasn't our last but for now we are going to take it easy.

Lots of Emotions

I didn't know if i should post this or not but I figured I should. It's how I feel, right? With all the protest going on in California at the LA Temple I have been on a roller coaster ride with my emotions. Sad, angry, shocked, confused and then comforted. The power of prayer is amazing! I know the Lord is with me and that he loves me. I was reading an article in the Meridian Magazine and I came across these words.
Elder Robert D. Hales of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles wrote, “I would say that one of mortality's great tests comes when our beliefs are questioned or criticized. In such moments, we may want to respond aggressively – to put up our dukes . But these are important opportunities to step back, pray, and follow the Savior's example. Remember, Jesus Himself was despised and rejected by the world. And in Lehi's dream, those coming to the Savior also endured ‘mocking and pointing … fingers' (1 Nephi 8:27). ‘The world hath hated [my disciples],' Jesus said, ‘because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world' (John 17:14). But when we respond to our accusers as the Savior did, we not only become more Christlike, we invite others to feel His love and follow Him as well.
“To respond in a Christlike way cannot be scripted or based on a formula. The Savior responded differently in every situation. When He was confronted by wicked King Herod, He remained silent. When He stood before Pilate, He bore a simple and powerful testimony of His divinity and purpose. Facing the moneychangers who were defiling the temple, He exercised His divine responsibility to preserve and protect that which was sacred. Lifted up upon a cross, He uttered the incomparable Christian response: ‘Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do' (Luke 23:34).”
Challenges to our faith are not new. Nor are they likely to go away anytime soon. But, as Elder Hales reminds us, “True disciples of Christ see opportunity in the midst of opposition. We can take advantage of such opportunities in many ways: a kind letter to the editor, a conversation with a friend, a comment on a blog, or a reassuring word to one who has made a disparaging comment. We can answer with love those who have been influenced by misinformation and prejudice – who are ‘kept from the truth because they know not where to find it' (D&C 123:12). I assure you that to answer our accusers in this way is never weakness.

Air Show and the rest of the weekend

This weekend we went to the Air Show at Nellis Air Force Base. It was soooo fun! I think Aaron and I enjoyed ourselves more than the kids. I want to be a pilot now. I seriously was in love! I loved the noise. I loved everything about it. I was like a kid at Disneyland. We had to park at the Speedway and we waited in line for a hour to get on the bus. It didn't seem that long though. Then when we finally got there we checked out all the different air craft and then there was a little carnival for kids so we let Ezra go on a few rides. Ezra was not a fan of the noise. He has always been sensitive to noise so we were a little worried how he would do. He actually was pretty good. He would just cover his ears and snuggle into Aaron or the stroller. The noise didn't really seem to bother Lincoln. He just chilled out in the stroller the whole time. I think by the time we left our house and got home it was 5 1/2 hour later so we were all pretty exhausted. Then we had some of Aaron's family over for a BBQ and the boys wanted to wrestle each other. And by boys, I mean the adult boys. We cleared my bedroom because my house is all tile and they needed some cushion. They all wrestled and it was pretty funny to watch. I am happy to say Aaron was the winner! Woohoo! Yeah, don't worry we are slightly competitive in my family. Then on Sunday we went to my brothers ward because him and his wife had to speak in Sacrament and we ended with a family dinner at my parents house. Aaron didn't make it because he had a ton of homework but it was a pretty awesome weekend!

This was the biggest Air craft I have ever seen!

Aaron bust'n a move

Northern Exposure 10k

Today Aaron ran the Northern Exposure 10k. I was going to run but thought about how I can't even run a 5k so not a good idea. Anyways, Aaron did well! He wanted to come in under a hour and he did. Oh yeah and don't worry he didn't train for this run. I swear he is a machine! He signs up for all these races and realizes he doesn't have time to train but it doesn't even phase him. He is crazy! I hung out and played with the kiddos while we waited for him. Ezra really wanted to run. He said "mom I want to run in the big boy race!" So I am thinking I need to get him running to get some energy outta him. I always love going to races. It always inspires me to get into shape! So Aaron and I are signing up for the Catch the Gobbler 5k on Thanksgiving. Everyone should do it too then you won't feel so guilty about eating a ton on Thanksgiving. It's a win win.

Jacob and Ezra waiting to cheer Aaron on

Woohoo here he comes

And this is Ezra's pouty face because he let go of his balloon.

Spring Mountain Ranch

We went to Spring Mountain Ranch for playgroup yesterday. It was nice to have a change of scenery. I'm pretty sure the kids loved it and I enjoyed myself as well. Melissa brought her t-ball equipment and the kids had a blast with that. Every time someone hit the ball Ezra, Cooper and Jackson would run and tackle each other for it. I love how fun little boys are!

Son of a.... that's gonna leave a mark!

What the heck is going on people! Obama? Really? I don't even know what to say.
