Ali + Lagoon= Best Day Ever!!

A quick little shot before my video ran out. She loved being in a car by herself, but she just couldn't get the steering down. So, she just went in circles the whole time. She could care less.

Sweet Summer Corn

Kael & Aliyah obsess over corn on the cob. No butter, no salt, just good old corn. While fighting over the last one, I suggested they share it. Now I know sharing is possible. No fuss. Just giggles and fun while they shared the coveted corn on the cob. They are so cute!!!

We're Jammin'

MMMM, nothing better then homemade strawberry jam. Homemade bread anyone? I'll bring the jam. The only thing that would make this project complete is if I grew my own strawberries, huh Dad! Maybe next year.

Quote of the Day

Kael frequents the bloody noses on hot summer days. He's a pro at what to do and has mastered the head tilt. However, he'll sometimes leave the evidence of a bloody tissue. This morning, sissy found the evidence and this is what she said word for word.

"Nasty Dale!(for those of you that don't know, that's what she calls him) Throw your bloody away in da darbage."

Thank you Dora?

Kael: Mommy, are people who speak English blind? (random, I know)

me: I proceed to explain to him that we speak English, and people in other countries have a language of their own that we don't speak or understand. As an example, I tell him that people in Mexico speak Spanish.

Kael: Oh, do they talk like this? He then recites to me in Spanish 1-10. I'd write it out if he recited it in German. I think I'm the only HS student who didn't take Spanish.


The sad thing about this is I did not teach him that. I'm not even sure if he learned it in pre-school. The only other explanation is Dora. The funny thing is he gave up Dora about 2 years ago. He REFUSES to watch it because she's a girl. Go figure.

We're Back!

We've been back from San Diego for a week now, and it's taken me that whole week to catch up on my laundry, download all my pictures from the trip, not want to throw up when I drive by a fast food restaurant, and last but not least, have a desire to blog again. Regardless of the recovery, it was a fun filled week with much to mention. We headed to San Diego to stay in a time share with all of the Hodsons. With a year in the making, not even gas prices would stop us. ! 4.65 a gallon for all of you Utahans. We had lots to accomplish on the itinerary, and only a week to do it. The beach (of course), Disneyland for some of us, Sea World, a session at the San Diego temple, more beach and pool time, U.S.S. Midway, Padres game, surfing (again for some, it was way too cold), and everything else in between. And to top it all off, we had matching shirts! The highlight of the trip was when we got to sit in the front row of the dolphin show and got drenched. Kael was loving it, and the animals were so amazing to watch. Although we had a great time, it was nice to come home. No more vacations are planned for the summer, so we had to get it in while we could.
