76 Trombones led the big parade...

So we were reading scriptures this morning and we're really working on Owen sitting and listening so I'll ask him simple questions about what we're reading. Well today we were reading and read the phrase "remission of their sins" was read and Owen caught on and said "remission of sins? like in Article of faiths." He then quoted article of faith 6 which wasn't the one with that phrase but still I was impressed that he even caught on. Then a few more verses down the verse started with "For Behold" and again Owen caught on and said "Behold? Which one is that in?" and then he remembered "Oh it's in Charlie Brown Christmas" and he starts quoting the Luke verses that Linus says in the book "For Behold, I bring unto you tidings of great joy...." It was so cute and I was just so proud of him for catching these little phrases that he recognizes.

On saturday we watched the Art City Days grand parade. It wasn't quite like the Provo parade but it was still fun to go out and do something. We actually started our day with taking 1 yr pics of Jack (finally) and some with Owen too. We got some on a 1937 fire truck and it was so cute. I liked those pics the best. Then we met our friends for the parade. That afternoon we went out just to get out and it was so windy, the weather was crazy. I couldn't even get Owen into the car very well because the wind kept blowing the door shut on me. 

We had my Aunt Sheila and cousin Makayla visit on Sunday. It is always fun having visitors. 

I read another book this weekend. It called "Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet" by Jamie Ford. It was another book for my book club and one I would never have read about and thought "I want to read that" but I actually liked this one. It was the story of a Chinese man living in seattle who recalls events of his life in 1942 when America got involved in WWII. Sort of an interesting story. Now I have 4 more books to read rather quickly since 3 of them are from the library and have a waiting list so they can't be renewed. Good thing I'm in a reading mood these days :)

Anyways, here are some pics from our weekend
