Din Tai

Last week we celebrated Rebecca's Birthday at Din Tai Fung.  They have the best dumplings ever and you can watch the workers making them when you walk in.  So much delicous food and great company.

A couple days later Al and I went to the Vietnam House and cooked our own dinner.  We used to do this all the time when we lived in Vegas at a restaurant called Pho So and I haven't found a better one since.  

I was dying to see Kaskade last Saturday in LA, but let's be honest a pregnant woman doesn't belong there.  What's better than watching him in person? Streaming him live from the comfort of my own bed. Best Ever.

Al's favorite place,  Ikea.  He only agreed to go if he could eat hot dogs and cinnamon rolls at the end.  Alex thought it was pretty cool to walk around and touch everything.  We even let him try out some bunk beds which we will be investing in shortly.  Another thing to worry about.

My weight gain with this pregnancy has been crazy, 27lbs as of today crazy, so I've been trying to cut back on unhealthy snacks which is next to impossible when I'm married to the snackiest person alive.  He even wanted some of my cucumbers after the were peeled, sliced, and prepared of course:)

Alex sharing some fruit snacks with his Dad after his Sunday nap.

We went to a Fireside for our favorite Sister Missionary, Sister Olson.   Watch out Utah she's back and she is pretty amazing.

and another amazing Sister, Sister Harker that will be serving for another year.  

What We'll Miss Most

As much as we didn't love living in the Jewel City aka Glendale we will miss all the kids we taught in primary. Al and I taught the 8-12 year olds for the last 2 years and loved our calling. I only remember a few of my primary teachers growing up, so I hope we are the ones they remember someday.

We will also miss the primary presidency....Julia, Lacey, and Leticia.

Primary worked well with Alex because he could crawl around in the back of the room during singing and sharing time. It will be interesting in relief society since Alex always wants to be crawling around. Maybe that will be a good time to send him to priesthood with Al:)

Instead of the Hello song they sang us the Goodbye song :( We will miss the Glendale 1st ward, but we are excited for our new ward in Pasadena.
