family carnival

a few weeks ago, our apartment complex had a little carnival
it was a lot of fun!

me and Eli rode on the little barrel train
{which Eli loved, of course}

they had cookie decorating/eating
{which Eli loved, of course}  

they had a bounce house
{which Eli was scared of but liked to watch the other kids, of course}

and balloons
{which Eli was obsessed over, of course} 

[i love this picture that Adam took]

and after all that fun,
this was the end result
{of course!}

last week, me and my friend Kelsey went to the D.I. and found this awesome unicorn sweater/costume in the costume section.

i seriously could not stop laughing.
and i basically sat there for about 10 minutes contemplating if i could get away with buying it

guys, there were even these little arm loops for the wings!!
it was glorious.

i’m still wondering if i should go back and buy it.
i may have a little girl eventually right??

:::disclosure: i saw this unicorn sweater before this last week’s episode of Glee. :)

also, did anyone catch the Office reference?

Inspiration

 
-President Dieter F. Uchtdorf from the  Relief Society General Broadcast
{via pinterest}

even if you are not Mormon, i think this message is very important and touching for all women to hear!

below, is the full video of President Uchtdorf’s talk. i encourage everyone (of all faiths!) to take the time to listen to his message.
it is truly touching, inspiring, and helpful to so many of us!
i know when i heard it for the first time all i kept thinking was,
“he must have written this just for me! he knew what i needed to hear!”
and i know many other women felt the same way.

this weekend, we get to hear more from our Latter-day prophet and apostles as they share inspirational messages to help us draw closer to our Savior.

you can follow along here and listen to their uplifting messages.

i know the Lord still speaks to us today through His prophets and apostles. i am so grateful for the opportunity we have to listen to their words.
