Musical Weekend

This weekend we went to two high school choir concerts--My sister Bekah's on Friday (Mountain View), and Dan's brother Sam's on Saturday (Spanish Fork). Both were fun concerts, and an honest, unbiased comparison would say that while Spanish Fork had much cooler props, costumes, and dancing, Mountain View had better vocals. I especially enjoyed the guest artist at Mountain View's concert, but I forgot his name. After the Friday concert we went with our friends Traci & Brian to their place for dessert and I remembered just how much fun they are!

After the Saturday concert we kind of had a damper on our night when we realized Dan's phone was missing. We discovered the absence before we'd even left the high school so we looked for probably an hour before we finally gave up and left the school. Thankfully, whoever had taken it must have been overcome with guilt, for they dumped it on the lawn of the seminary building. It was picked up sopping wet by a guy who was smart enough to take the battery out and let it dry out completely before calling us. We were SO glad that he called us on Sunday and told us he had it. It seems good as new after all it has been through!

Saturday night we also went to Dan's parents' place after the concert and watched UHF. I'd never seen it before and wow. Weird. Over-the-top silliness, but it was fun nonetheless.

Sunday we enjoyed walking to church for the first time! I am so glad that spring seems to finally be coming. We used our cool jogging stroller that we got from Dan's parents. During church there was this funny little boy in the row behind us who kept trying to grab Violet's dress. I didn't think he would be rough about it, but when he couldn't reach the dress he grabbed onto her ear and pulled! I couldn't believe how aggressive he was and how nonchalant his parents seemed to be about it! Violet just seemed more surprised than anything and wasn't upset by it, thankfully.

This week Violet has been noisier than ever. Plus, she tries to stick her feet in her mouth every chance she gets. It makes us laugh :). Well, I've got to go get her now. She's waking up and sounds grumpy :).
