This month Jack turned two (can you believe it?! I can't!) He is currently obsessed with garbage trucks and loves to wave when they come to empty our dumpster, so we had a garbage truck-themed family party, complete with green and black streamers, green balloons, printouts of garbage trucks, a garbage truck YouTube movie in the background, and a garbage truck birthday cake. He loved it. To celebrate, we opened gifts in the morning (a basketball hoop, light-up shoes, and minion pajamas were the highlights), went to library storytime, got a balloon and crown at Toys R Us, and played with PlayDoh. Plus, we had pizza for dinner. Basically a two year old boy's dream day. He seemed to have a lot of fun and we had so much fun making it a special day for our little man.

The day after Jack's birthday, Ryan and I went to the Y Ball - a free dinner and formal dance on campus for married and engaged couples. It was an awesome and refreshing break for me to actually get dressed up and feel pretty and go out, and Ryan was a good sport about it :) Plus, we got to leave the dance early and go downstairs and play pool with some good friends who used to be in our ward who were also at the dance.
And a few other things going on around the house...
