They sure do grow up fast.

As I was cleaning tonight, Morgan calls to me from the bathroom...

Morgan: mommy, my boobies! They're medium now!
Me: ?
Morgan: how'd that happen?
Me: I don't know, I guess your becoming a young woman.
Morgan: ya, yesterday they were little, and now they're medium! Tomorrow, they'll be bigger even!


Keep in mind, this is my 5 year old daughter. Don't worry, Matt's already got a big gun to polish for when the boys start lining up.

When I showed up at the play last night, this was sitting at the table, saving my spot. Do I have the sweetest husband or what? Actually, he's a very smart man, considering I was paying a lot of money to go see him sing a love song with another girl. He hand picked everything in this bouquet just for me. He then brought me a diamond pendant at intermission. Smart man, very smart.

Unfortunately, no flashes during the performance, so this is all you get!

Matt was in a play this weekend, Broadway in Love. For those of you who don't know, I not only married a funny, cute, caring, smart man, but also an incredibly talented on. He can sing no none other. In high school, Matt did several plays, and even after we got married, he managed to stay active in community productions, including Carmena Borona. But years, kids, jobs, and a few moves later, he has had little time. So when the opportunity to be involved came up, and he was asked to sing songs from Les Mis, I told him he had to do it! (I'm trying to be better about sharing my husband.... first since he's been called to be the ward clerk, and is required to be at more meetings, and now with this)
The first night, Matt performed in front of Sarah and Todd Palin (their daughter Piper was also in the play, doing some Annie songs). And the next night, I went with a friend and our curent governor stopped by, as well as the Heath's (Sarah's parents) and Bristol Palin (who I also work out with). It was a great evening, the prceeds going to our local Scout troup for their National Jamboree in Washington DC, and I got to share my talented husband with a whole lot of people.

The kids Primary Activity this month was This is God's House, and they were in charge of cleaning the whole building, and being given a lesson on Who's house it is, and why we need to take care of it. It was great. Their Primary President, (grandma) and councelor (aunt Renae) did an awesome job preparing the kids and executing this wonderful activity.

I had fun making this Cupcake Flag cake for our boys Blue and Gold Banquet. The only problem is, after baking over 10 dozen cupcakes at Matt's store in his Viking oven, Matt now has to buy me a Convection oven so I'll bake again at home.

The star section of my flag cake. Matt helped out a lot with this, as it was almost midnight the night before, and I needed to be done with it!

Matt was an awesome help to me, decorating the tops of the cupcakes with random candies in the same colors.

Our first stop at the Anchorage Museum's Star Wars exibit was the Speeder, and then to get in line to ride in a replica of the Millenium Falcon's cockpit. Have to say, that was very cool. Especially for a family of Star Wars geeks. (myself included)

Obviously, I am a rule breaker, and for a few pictures, I turned on my flash inside the Museum, and consequently was met by Museum worker, and Musem worker, telling me I needed to turn off my flash. Ya, ya, ya. Come on people! How are we supposed to blog about family trips if there are no good photos?
