This was a crazy busy week. Wes played vball against Saugus on Tuesday and against Valencia on Thursday. He played in one game each match. He had to be at WRTV Thursday night for Open House. He went to the Santa Barbara Tournament Friday from 1pm-midnight and Saturday from 6am-6pm. Kelly had a beehive presidency meeting on Tuesday, learned to cook at mutual on Wednesday, vball practice on Thursday, a field trip to the Malibu Getty on Friday, and a game on Saturday. Chelsie, well, she's always busy!!! Did I mention we bought a truck for Wes to drive on Friday?!? Actually we have until Sunday night to make sure we want to keep it. Here's a picture, tell me what you think. It's a 1999 Dodge Dakota Sport with 109k miles. It looks immaculate inside but does have a slight smoky smell, that we are working on extracting. Such a stressful thing making this decision. I think we got a good deal, but the whole smoky smell is really weighing on me. Scott left me at the dealership to take care of it as he had to drive boys to the tournament. I just about had an anxiety attack--haha--and honestly I've felt nauseous ever since. I'm hoping its a touch of the flu and not just the wrong decision. Did I forget to mention it's yellow? :) Wes saw it late last night for about 5 minutes, hopefully he'll have a bit more time tonight to take a look. He has his appointment for his driver's test on April 30th.

Quotable Quips and Laughable Life

I decided that I wanted to add a small section with little things that my kids have said or done over the years that I never want to forget and I think are worth sharing. Unfortunately I was much better at writing these things down a bit late in the game....Chelsie steals the show here a bit. If only I could remember all those things I thought I'd never forget. I hope you take my challenge to write down all those things you hope to pass on one day.

When Chelsie was about 2 she had been jumping on my brand new couch, so I promptly told her to stop jumping on the nice furniture. Her response was very logical. "Then where's the mean furniture?"

While camping in the Sequoias, the entrance sign read, "1 bear incident this week...." Kelly mispronounced it as 1 bear accident....later in the bathroom, Chelsie noticed wet spots on the floor, and announced, "This must be where the bear had the accident."

We had a family home evening on choosing the right, and we thought Chelsie understood but when we asked her she said, "Yes, don't choose the left!"

When Kelly was in the 5th grade, she needed to use the classroom phone to call me. She dialed 9 to get an outside line, then she had to dial 1 because I have a long distance cell phone number, but she accidently hit the 1 twice. When the 911 dispatcher answered she was scared and just hung up. 5 minutes later the front office called the classroom stating that 3 sheriffs had arrived ready to take action and were wanting to know who called and why. Now it was by sheer coincidence that this was a morning that there was a prison breakout, so officers were on high alert. Kelly was embarrassed then, but can laugh about it now!

When Wes was about 4, he used to tell everyone that he was going to marry his friend Elizabeth, and that they were going to have 16 kids, and maybe a car.

When Chelsie was 3 1/2 we told her she needed to learn to spell her name. She responded, "I already know....A L I Z A."
(That was her best friend who taught her)

I was talking with my girls about the weather, and Kelly said, that stupid beaver was wrong, spring is not around the corner. Chelsie then chimed in, it's not a beaver, it's a warthog. Clearly I have failed them.
