Saddest story ever.

So, once upon a time, I was looking at all the cool earrings women were starting to wear, thinking I should start wearing some snazzier earrings, since the only thing I have worn since high school was teeny little hoops. But, even after admiring other's earrings for a long time, I couldn't bring myself to do it. I even bought a pair that I really liked, but took them back. I don't know why, but for some reason, spending money on earrings isn't easy for me. And then, I wasn't used to anything but teeny earrings. But, at swimming lessons I was looking at all the moms there, and I realized that we're all wearing close to the same things...capris and a shirt. But the ones who looked a bit nicer, a bit more stylish, were those with cute earrings. Plus, you can buy earrings when you're pregnant and they fit. So, I overcame my fear and bought myself some earrings. I really liked them and felt snazzy all day (see pictures).

Then last night at Wal-Mart, I realized one was no longer in my ear. I back-tracked for awhile, but wasn't even sure it had fallen out in the store. So yes, I already lost my new spiffy earring. Sniff sniff sniff.
In other news, the kids have LOVED swimming lessons. Jethro is sooo enthusiastic for everything. And here he is playing with his new goggles. Also, a very exciting development is that he has a loose tooth!


Last weekend, Brett went down with some other men in the ward to help clean up flood damage in a city about two hours away. So he was gone all Sat and Sun, and we were glad to get him back.

I don't know why my text is acting like this, but it's annoying me, so that's all for now. Hazel's birthday is Friday, so we're gearing up for that.
