GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!
My Bestie Carrie and I went to see this on Monday. If you have babies, like babies, or have ever seen a baby, you will like this movie. The winner of the "cutest baby in this movie" contest goes to Little Mongolia. I can't remember his name, and probably couldn't spell it correctly anyway. Doesn't matter...he wins!

Wild Weekend
Whew! Last of four Spring programs over, and I'm finally free to blog. (And go to yoga. And go to the movies.) This past weekend, we went to Columbia to see Ben's niece Malori's dance recital, and his nephew Logan's t-ball game. The dance recital was on the MU campus, which is against my religion to go to, but for family, I made an exception. Here's our little star:
She did SO WELL, and it was so fun to be at the recital, which featured dancers from toddler age to adults. Seeing a show like that, especially one that was so professionally done, totally made me want to get back into dance! I pity the dance studio that would take me as their student, but I'm going to look for one anyway.
One of the dances was so amazing...it was a lyrical dance to a beautiful song that I have never heard before, but spent all day Sunday trying to find because it was so emotionally moving to me. I finally figured out that it was sung by an artist named Charlotte Martin, out of NYC. Here is my new favorite song:
Logan's t-ball game was just as entertaining. Here are a few pics:
Of course, Miss Malori was supporting her big brother in high style.
After a lunch at G & D Steakhouse, which is apparently a place that, according to Ben, you just "have" to eat at when you come to Columbia, it was back home to KC for us. Saturday night was spent around the firepit with neighbors Kyle and Anna, and Sunday was a BBQ to celebrate a friend's homecoming and the end of LOST with best friends at Jason and Amy's. Check out Jason and friends' new blog here.
One more week of school now, and then it's time to get ready for Bennett. Thank the Lord for heat and sunshine, and the promise of summer.

Good Week, Bad Week
Oh Holy Blog Catch Up.
This is only a short breath that I am taking until the next wave of activity starts. I have been wanting to blog for sooooooooooooo long (I'm sure you've been holding your breath), but I haven't had TWO SECONDS!!!
So this week has been kind of shit. I'm sorry to cuss on here, but I'm just being honest. So busy, no time, running around, things not going the way I want them too, blah blah blah. T G I F, for real.
But then...a respite. I go to take my car to the dealership to get new brake pads and roters (I don't even know what those are, so I'm certainly not going to worry about how to spell it) on Monday. The guy at the dealership tells me, "Everyone's at lunch right now. Go grab a bite to eat and come back in 30 minutes." Well, I had already eaten lunch, so I decide to venture over to the GAP outlet. This is rough, let me tell you. I was reeeeeeaaally suffering here. So I go to the GAP, and they just happen to have a ton of sweaters and dresses for $15 each. SCORE! I have totally been needing some sweaters for work. Three sweaters, in the bag...back to the dealership.
So since I've had a shit week (sorry), I have to find music to listen to in the car on the way to work that gets me out of my funk. I don't know why, but Coldplay has been on my brain, so Viva la Vida it is. This CD is pure magic. If I could put it in a pipe and smoke it, I would. Not only is it brilliant music, it reminds me of last Spring when Ben and I went to Pennsylvania for our friends' wedding, and we just happened upon a Coldplay concert at Hershey Park. One of the BEST concerts I've ever been to. It was so fun to be spontaneous, and it was such a small venue that we were really in the thick of the action. So amazing....one of those memories that just lights your fire for a whole day.
(Not that this is an excuse, but Chris Martin said he was having a shit day at the Coldplay concert, too. It sounds so much cooler with a British accent...)
There was a third thing here. Wait for it....wait for it.....it's gone. That's what happens when you have a blog idea four days before you can actually blog about it.
It's late, and I need to do a Sudoku before bed. Have a great weekend, everybody.
