Lagoon Adventure

Well, Matt's work hooked us up again with 1/2 off tickets to Lagoon! Of course we couldn't pass up the good deal so we took full advantage of it. We were able to go one day with our good friends Aaron and Bonnie. Yes, just a grown-ups day!:) We laughed our heads off and seriously had so much fun! Two days later we took the kids and felt the excitement all over again. We had such a good time! Matthew, Kynlee, and Karley were so brave. They tried all of the big rides and loved them. The lines were not too long, so Matt and I would take turns sitting out with Kenzie to go on the roller coasters. Their favorite rides were Colossus, The Bat, Wicked, Rattlesnake Rapids, and Tidal Wave. Kenzie had her favorites too. She loved getting wet on Odysea and riding the little cars all by herself. She was a trooper the whole day. Just before we left, we let the kids play in the dancing water feature. They got soaked! It was the perfect way to end our fun-filled day. We made lots of good memories and can't wait to go again next year!

You Put A Smile On My Face With The Funny Things You Say

Kenzie got dressed for Kindergarten and she put on a turtle neck. When I asked how she wanted me to do her hair, she insisted I did it like a turtle's!:)

When Kynlee was just 5 years old, she had a friend named Sam. He was over playing one day, and when I asked her what kind of sandwich she wanted she said, "I want Sam...I mean ham!"

Matthew really has his heart set on playing in the NBA. He knows that they play games on Sundays, so his solution to making it to church and taking the sacrament is, "I will just ask my Ward if they can always meet at the early block, and I'll repent on the airplane if it is an away game!"

Mom: "Deep down I don't think it is a good idea."

Karley: "In your feet?"

Kenzie is a polite little girl. I overheard her talking in her sleep one night saying, "No thanks." She even uses her manners while dreaming.

Karley found one of her toys that had been broken and said, "Whoever did this is going to pay the bill!"

Driving over the Glen Canyon Dam on our way down to AZ, Kynlee said, "The beavers must have worked hard on this one!"

When Matthew was 2 yrs. old, we went to the airport to pick Matt up from a work trip. Matthew was looking out the window, watching the airplanes take-off and said, "Look Mom! That airplane is doing a pop-a-wheelie!"

Kenzie likes to pinch our cheeks and say, "You chubby cheeks." One day I had her in the shower with me and she pinched my behind and said, "You chubby butt!"
