     This weekend is our last before school starts.  It was crazy busy.  We started off Saturday heading to Pang town to celebrate a new baby coming in September.  My mom and Mindi's sisters threw her a baby shower.  We had Bailey make her a hair bow with some matching footies, plus we found a giraffe outfit to match.  I took everyone, but Oak.  Mo would have been left behind, but I knew that Ryan was working on vehicles, and he has compressors and machinery that make me nervous around little Moroni.  He was kind of a nightmare at the baby shower, but he was a safe nightmare.  I would rather that they be a hassle and safe that is for sure.  Anyhow, it was Chlo's birthday too and so I was trying to make a huge deal out of her too.  After all, Chlo is a huge deal.
     They had a yogurt bar, and this turned out to be a great idea!  I loved it, and proclaimed it loudly.  They had berries and granola to mix in the yogurt, plus they had muffins.  Mo took a muffin and shredded it all over their lovely table.  He also kept trying to mess with some of the treadmills and exercise equipment that happened to be in the building they were using.  I finally took him outside where he and Chlo began throwing rocks dangerously close to the windows.  We finally left a little early because after all, Chlo needed cake and presents.  We also had Brooke Trotters wedding reception that we needed to attend.
     Jams made and decorated Chlo a princess cake.  She stuck a princess crown in the top and Chlo was delighted.  She also got some nice toys.  All she asked for was a princess crown, a piggy bank, and a turtle.  We didn't get her a turtle, but we tried to accommodate her more reasonable requests.  I think she has like 2 cents.  This promptly went into her new piggy bank.  The nose screws off of the bank so that the money can be retrieved without too much trouble.  Anyhow, Oak kept putting the nose off-center and this would make Chlo bawl and bawl.  I really hope that she learns not to be so upset about dumb stuff.  This should be Chlo's new goal.  Chlo also took a bunch of toothpaste this week and slathered it on the bottom of the toilet.  Being a tidier Chlo would also be a good goal.
     We went to Brooklyn Trotter's wedding reception, and Chlo was going wild over the wedding cake.  She thought that the wedding cake was her birthday cake.  Luckily they were serving cake that looked similar to the wedding cake, so we didn't really explain that the party and cake was not for her birthday.  I am sure she thought that we created quite the party for her at the stake center.  She fell asleep happy with her new "Despicable Me" pajamas on.
     Today has been a very busy day.  Shrsh was great, but the kids were really naughty.  Jamie's steer has become quite sick, and this caused us to be late this morning.  We ended up on the front row because of this, and the front row isn't a great place for us.  Chlo was hopping back and forth in front of the podium just like a bunny.  She had removed her brand new shoes that Grandma H had just purchased her for her birthday, and hopped to and fro until I ended her bunny hop.  Mo, was screeching at the top of his lungs and he got frustrated and went up and hit the podium with his hand.  I was pretty embarrassed by his behavior and so I left with him for awhile.  Jazzerz was really being a knothead too.  She kept standing up and walking back and forth.  Sacrament mtg. had great speeches today too.  Wow...we will keep working on it. 
     Somehow Chlo and her new princess shoes became separated again and a friend of mine saw a nice sister from the Spanish branch carting them around with a confused look on her face.  Luckily Robyn grabbed them, and thanked her.  Chlo got some nice shoes this year too.  She loves them and would have been quite upset to lose a pair.  The van wouldn't start after shrsh, so we all walked home, and I noticed that besides Oak, all of my kids were barefoot.  It has to be a Bundy thing.
