Big Girls Do Cry

My sweet girls left early this morning to head down to AZ with my father-in-law, who is picking up grand kids to bring back to UT for a visit. Many tears were shed while giving hugs and saying goodbye and then as I watched them drive away, my whole world fell apart! I went back inside and cried myself to sleep! I am going to miss them so much! They are staying with my wonderful Mom while I'm at Girls Camp and Matt and Matthew are at Scout Camp next week. THANKS MOM...YOU'RE THE BEST EVER! It is really hard for me to be away from my kids for any amount of time. I take great comfort though in knowing that my girls are in my Mother's care and that Matt will be with Matthew. When we get back, Matthew and I will head down to AZ...YAY! I am already counting the days. I love you girls and can't wait to see you again!

Wish me luck at Girls Camp!

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!"
