Our new boat!

Well, we've owned a boat for 5 days now, and have been out on the lake 3 of those days! We tried to fit a 4th trip in there but we kept running into complications so turned back to home. It is so fun, but so much work! We get ready a little faster each time, and learn something new each time. I think we also break something every time too! on the boat, not bones! :) On our drive away from the dealer, we shredded our bimney, but they are replacing it for us. The next day we got a little white on one side of the boat, from docking maybe. And yesterday, we burned up our pump the first time we used it trying to fill the tube--nothing like sitting in the middle of the lake and seeing smoke coming from your airpump! Then we put a hole in the cover when folding the tower down! I wonder if duck tape will fix that?!? Oh so much to learn! But we'll keep plugging along---Scott is taking the YM out tonight on the lake. And we'll be out there at least 2 more times this week if weather permits! We want to know what we're doing before the boy comes home next summer! He might not even recognize his momma--owning chickens and a boat!

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.
