Chelsie lost another tooth on Friday! Unfortunately the tooth fairy didn't make it to our house that night. We think it was because Kelly was up late feeling sick. But she made up for it on Saturday night!

Wes helped a couple of his friends that are in a band, by making a video to help them gain funding for their record. Click here to watch it. The video helped them raise $1390 in just a few days. Here is also link to many of Wes' past videos that have been posted to youtube. http://www.youtube.com/user/uberawsomemannduh#p/u

Out of sandwiches?

Subway was out of sandwiches....but they had pizza!!!! Wes and Scott drove up near the airport to meet Spencer and Mark on their journey home from Idaho...one last meeting before they leave and return from their missions. Next time, let's do Benihana! ;)

Jump

Wes on skates

Wes had an ice skating performance today that we were invited to. It was cool! He's definitely improved and hopes to put those skills to use playing hockey after his mission. Also, I believe it was no coincidence that as I began talking to the mom beside me, that I found out that one of her sons is currently serving in the same mission that Wes is going to. Small world!!! Her son has been there for a year, so she was able to answer some questions and also tell Wes how much he loves it there! Tender mercies!

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.
