Yesterday

We went to Logan this weekend. It was nice to actually spend some time there when my attitude wasn't so ugly. We arrived on Friday evening, when we went to Firehouse Pizzeria. It was pretty good, although I think I will try the Cordon Bleu next time. I took Benji to the Farmer's Market on Saturday, and Allen went to Becca's house to fix her computer (he sure is handy to have around!). We came home and took a nap, then I went to see Star Trek with Dad. I LOVED IT!! A definite must-own. After the movie, we went to a ward potluck/bbq. Surprisingly, Benji ate with gusto while we were there! He has been so picky with what he will eat lately. He must have been really hungry, because he ate everything I put in his mouth. I don't get it. He has been doing a lot of walking, and he's getting faster (he'll be running by next week, I swear!). He has started doing this chicken wing type thing (for balance? I don't know why!). I'm trying to get him to show his muscles, but he just does the chicken. Boff. It's cute.
I admit to doing a little retouching to this one . . . smoothing out wrinkles, cleaning up dirt and such. I like it, though.
He had fun playing with the ball in the front yard. I'd like to think he's learning laws of physics while he is doing so. ;o) He was having a hard time trying to stand up while holding the ball, but eventually he figured out that it's easier to stand, then pick up the ball. He's funny.
And today was Dad's birthday. It was nice to be there. It wasn't a big celebration, since he had received most of his gifts last week for Father's day. We just had some lemon cake (with no brown in sight, as requested), a quasi-Thanksgiving dinner, and a couple of small gifts.
So it was a nice weekend. I hope yours was good too!

That picture of you and Benji is lovely. Retouching is a beautiful thing!

you and Benji are looking great! I agree Star Trek is awesome! Since we live closer together I would like to actually get together. Call me or email asap. It is the summer and I want to use it to the fullest!
