Organ Stop Pizza

For dinner tonight Brandon decided we should go to Organ Stop Pizza (http://www.organstoppizza.com/).

It's kind of a unique place. It's home to one of the world's largest working organs. We had tons of fun. Kaitlyn and Savannah loved watching and listening to the organ. Kaitlyn would dance around and Savannah would just stare. It was nice to have a family outing, because with our crazy schedules we don't get to spend a lot of time together.

3 Songs I Can't Live Without

I'm a pretty big music fan. There is something to be said about how powerful music can be. There are 3 songs that I can't stop listening to for the life of me.

The first is All I Need, by Radiohead. There is just something about the way this song ends that gives me the chills everytime I give it a listen. I frequent this song almost daily, and have been doing so for about the last 5 months or so.

The second is For Me This Is Heaven, by Jimmy Eat World. They were a local band here in Mesa while I was in high school, and broke through to the mainstream music scene while I was on my mission. The song is extremely well put together, and I love the lyrics. This is one of my favorite songs ever. (Don't mind the Anime vid that goes along with the song....the user uploaded the song, and put it to the video)

The third is Immortality, from Pearl Jam. PJ has been my favorite band for years and years now. I'll never get tired of listening to Eddie and the gang.

More Toys for the Girl Who Has too Many...

Lately, Kaitlyn has taken a liking to Disney's Pixar movies, which is a treat for me because I can handle these much better than the kiddie shows on Nick Jr., or the Disney Channel. The show she likes the most happens to be my favorite as well; Toy Story. A week or so ago, Leslie gave Kaitlyn her own Jessie doll (Toy Story 2) that she had packed away for years, and Kaitlyn loves it. She carries it with her everywhere, and for the most part won't let it out of her sight.

Mom and I were talking about how much she loved her Jessie doll last week, and Mom decided to take it on herself to dig for more. She called me about week ago to let me know she had found a Woody/Jessie combo pack at Toys R Us, and picked them up for us to give to the little Missy. Needless to say, she loves them, and her reaction was fun to watch.
