Dance Central

The Bills came over and joined us for the BYU basketball game tonight and then we played Dance Central. It was so fun!

Today we met Wes at the Missionary Mall in Orem to get him outfitted for his mission! We were able to get almost everything he needs at one stop and all with a 2 year warranty! Our tax refund sure came at the right time!

3 Missionary Mall traditions
1. Sign the guest book
2. Get free ties for the missionary and the dad.
3. Put a pin on the big map for your mission and have your picture taken.

I walked outside to hear a really loud VRRRRROOOOMMM as she started the car! She drove to school this morning and did great! I told her to roll down her window and wave to all of her friends at the bus stop on the way!

Jimmered!

Had to get jerseys to remember this great Championship year!

Note Jimmer in the air! He had a great game, 38 pts!

Some of the team walking outside the Marriott Center.

Dinner after at Guadalahonkys--it was actually pretty good! Although the girls wished we had gone to Maglebys--free cake for everyone if BYU scores over 80 pts, oh and the fact that Kelly's friend called her from there and said she was talking to Jimmer and Emery there!!!

Taking the drivers seat

Kelly got her learners permit today!

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.
