Father's Day and a week full of games

Heather and I played some Jaipur this last week. Henry also got into the game, calling it the "Jesus game" because the guy pictured has a beard and therefore apparently looks like Jesus? It was cute. I don't think Heather or myself corrected him. 

We also played Monopoly Deal and Alhambra. Heather beat me in Alhambra. She took a picture of her awesome city, as shown below.

Friday there was a big art festival thing going on at the Museum of Art for little kids. Henry loved it. There were all sorts of arts and crafts and activities and games and such for kids.

Henry goes between using his left hand and using his right.

We also saw a couple of art pieces while we were there too, such as this one:

Friday night we had another couple in the ward over for a games night! Woot woot! We played a game of Dominion, in which Heather and I gloried in our shared victory, and then introduced the other couple to the game of Istanbul, one of Heather's favorites. It was a super close game and Heather managed to squeeze off the win. Below are some pictures.

Father's Day! My wonderful wife made me breakfast in bed: pancakes! And for lunch she made me a fruit smoothie! And for dinner she made me spinach chicken artichoke pizza! Thanks love!

Ah man, I look so exhausted in this picture.

Henry has a ring of white around his face from drinking out of a cup. Cute kid.

Arrival, Oathbringer, Games Night, Henry

Rented the movie Arrival from Redox the other week. And man, was it awesome. The only reason it's rated PG-13 is because the F-bomb is dropped exactly once near the beginning when they enter the spaceship for the first time. It's when Ian (Jeremy Renner) steps off the lift and falls into the wall/floor due to the gravity change. So if you mute those 5 seconds of the movie, you're left with a PG movie. That's my only complaint about it; everything else is awesome.

I like how they portray what our reactions would be if alien spacecraft actually landed on earth, from both the civilian and government standpoints. Plus the tension leading up to meeting the plains for the first time is superb, you really feel the nervousness of what you're doing. Anyway, I really liked it and recommend it. Plus, the twist near the ending is super cool.

Brandon Sanderson revealed the new cover for Oathbringer. Here it is:

Well, this is the cover and the spine and the back of the book. The woman displayed on the cover is (spoiler alert) Jashna, who is repairing a wall damaged in an attack on a city.

Also, some Sanderson fan made this, which I love:

It's a spoof of Where's Waldo, for those of you who are confused.

Next week is my last week of school. Then there's some meetings post-school year, and I'll try to get a summer job before starting school back up again in August. Yay.

This last weekend Michael Perazzo was in town with his wife Alicia. Jacob invited us over to spend time with one another. We inevitably played some games. I played Splendor against Michael, Alicia, and Heather and Heather won, then I played 7 Wonders Duel with Michael and won due to military. He was going for green cards and I was going for red, but he ignored red and yellow cards to his peril. I won at the beginning of the third age. Heather played Blokus with Brandon, Megan, and Alicia while I was playing Michael.

Here I hold Jacob and Susan's latest edition

I am going to end this post with pictures of Henry because Henry is cute. We got him some underwear to wear when he has a dry diaper and goes on the potty, and he loves them.

During breakfast Henry decided that his bowl was a hat. "Hat!" he said proudly.
