Shop, shop, shop

While we've been staying in Las Vegas, we've been able to visit with family and friends, eat at fun restaurants, and spend a few hours shopping. Yesterday, my friend DeeLynn took us to a new mall in town, http://www.townsquarelasvegas.com/. It's an outdoor mall, (it was only 105 degrees-but they have misters everywhere!) and it's set up like a little town. It's very cute, with a ton of fun shops, and even a little water garden and sprinklers for the little ones to run thru. We stopped at Yogurtland for a cold treat and it was delicious---a must try! We had dinner at the Yard House which is a favorite of ours from our visits to Palm Springs. The mall also has a very plush movie theatre. I highly recommend adding this to your shopping experience while visiting Las Vegas. I wanted to add a couple of links of my favorite scrapbook shops in town also. Julie Jane is a cute shop that always updates their inventory--http://thejuliejanepapercompany.blogspot.com/, and Pebbles in my Pocket http://www.pebbleslasvegas.com/, which is right upstairs from Deseret Book. I also discovered a fun home decor shop, Kirkland, at Boca Park 8950 W. Charleston Blvd. with great prices.

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.
