I'm not quite sure why, perhaps it's just some innate characteristic that comes with that y chromosome, but Alex has discovered that it's funny to make silly faces when I try to take his picture. Instead of photos of his gorgeous face, this is what I've been getting these days....
Still pretty dang cute, even with all that cheesiness going on!
Tonight is Kearns High's Sweethearts Dance. For a daytime activity (an apparent Utah tradition that I never experienced as a teen, and a bit overkill if you ask me....) they went to the Planetarium to watch a movie. They met up with a huge group this evening for dinner at Old Spaghetti Factory, then off to the dance. There's talk of going bowling afterwards. Again, can I say "overkill"?! Anyhow...here's the lovely Stephenie in her dress, along with her date Bryan and her good friends Christin and Dallas along with their dates. Hopefully we'll get a wonderful report tonight when she gets home...
Steph had asked a boy to the Sweetheart's Dance by leaving a trail of Hershey's kisses at his house with the saying, "Now that I've kissed the ground you walk on, will you go to Sweetheart's with me?"
He answered by plastering Oreos all over the car...
and post-it notes...great combination when it's raining outside.
On the windows he drew 2 stick figures and wrote, "you and me having fun".
"Ya'll come on and eat!" This is what Steve's mom would always say when the food was ready. My poor husband, ever since his mother died last April has been pretty deprived of the southern food he grew up on, and unfortunately this California girl just doesn't have it in her. Luckily, as we found out recently, Steph has some southern blood running through her veins. She offered to cook dinner one night when I was at work, and let me tell you, this girl can cook! She made fried chicken, homemade mac 'n cheese and corn muffins. It was DEE-licious! Much better than I ever could've attempted. She must have inherited Grandma Lilly's talent of making good soul food. I wonder if she'll ever try to make chittlins....(if you don't know what those are, you don't want to know!!)
