Hari Hari Krishna Krishna

This year was Riley's first ever Festival of Colors. It was such a nice spring day--so perfect for being outside throwing colors at strangers. The festival is a really weird craze that happens every year, but I think its fun.

I love that hot pink on his eye

They said last year there were 150,000 people at the Festival of Colors. I bet they had more this year

This was after Riley "got all the colors off". This side of his face had SO MANY different colors all caked on. And it made his mustache turn blue. Ew.

Garrett and Kellie had never been either. It was fun to be able to hang out with them because I feel like we never do.

Planet Earth

Last night in the middle of telling me about all of the things he needed to do this week Riley just blurted out:

"Killer whales! Oh my gosh did you see their tactics?! Their tactics are out of this world!"
And the was 100% serious.
Thank you Discovery Channel.

RC Willey & Caucus Meetings

Today Riley and I went to look for a new tv because ours is a TANK. It's one of the ghetto old big screens that sits on the floor. And it's sort of broken. So new tv for us!
We went to a couple of places and then to check out RC Willey. (For some reason I cannot find my way around that store. I have no idea where I am when I'm in there.) This girl at the front gave us this coupon book to look at (while we perused the store, I guess) and we saw that they were giving out free Creamies AND a free gift if you bought something. Luckily we needed headphones, so we took them up to the front and paid for them. We got our choice between like 5 Creamie flavors (I didn't even know they had that many) and then they gave us our free gift: A fine set of THREE, yes three, RC Willey brand kitchen knives. They look crappy, but they're probably a step up from our crappy Ikea knives. I mean, they are RC Willey brand after all.
I think our ten bucks spent was well worth it.

Oh, and then we went to our caucus meeting which was pretty cool. Thank you church, for canceling all of our meetings so that everyone in Provo could be at Wasatch Elementary and we could cram like sardines into the classrooms. It was seriously SO crammed. I overheard one girl say: "I guess this is what happens when President Monson tells everyone to go to their caucus meeting." I'm not that political, but I didn't feel like I was the only one there who wasn't. Lots of young people were just there to learn, which they probably wouldn't have done if the First Presidency didn't ask us to. I think that's neat.

Junk Mail

Riley pulled this from the junk mail pile because he knew I would want it.
That's a good husband.

Toupees and Husbands

This is Jason Alexander (aka George Kastanza from Seinfeld)

We went to watch him speak at UVU last week and it was pretty cool. I liked his real-life self. He told us about his career and taught us some acting lessons. I learned so much!

Some things I learned that night:
Seinfeld was basically a bust for the first few seasons. (Now look at it...ha)
He's met with and worked with a lot of really cool people.
He's really short.
He is nothing like his character, George (thank goodness)
He didn't pretend like he wasn't wearing a toupee (which he was...) And, he was perfectly fine talking about his "miraculous hair regrowth."
He does not have a New York accent (however, he does impersonate Woody Allen really well)
He's not religious, but he is spiritual.
He's been married to his wife for 32 years. Pretty cool, I'd say.
His greatest accomplishment are his two children.

It was really fun to hear from someone in show business who is so different than you'd imagined him. I'm glad we went to it.

On a sidenote....

Sometimes my husband does dangerous things that really scare his wife.
Case in point:
