Fun With Company

We were so lucky to have the Jones Family come and visit us last weekend! What a treat! They're our good friends all the way from Queen Creek, Arizona. When we moved from AZ, they had 5 boys in their family, each around the same age as one of our kids, plus one in the gap between Karley and Kenzie. Fun boys! I got a phone call early on in the year from Sara announcing that she was pregnant with a little GIRL! While we were visiting this summer, Sara had Aitana, and I made it a point to see them in the hospital...so precious! Well, I was so excited to receive a phone call from Sara saying they wanted to plan their only summer vacation to drive up and see us...we were thrilled! It was a long journey with 5 boys and a 6 week old little girl. Even though their time here was short, we were able to do some fun things and enjoyed every minute! I am so thankful for friendships that never fade and for their sacrifice that enriched our lives. We love the Jones Family! Enjoying their picnic lunch!Our families in front of Bridal Veil Falls! All the kiddos at the incredible Bean Museum!

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!"
