Memorial weekend

Kelty has the pink ball and a castle in the background what princess wouldn't be happy?
Oh so precious. If only they got along every second of the day.
This is how Teagan golfed most of the time. She picked up her ball and threw it in the hole.
Notice the the different expresions! One is happy to be getting a picture next to the castle and the other doesn't want to. Please don't make me suffer mom!
Now look who is happy? Yep running makes her happy especially when she is running away from her parents. It's that word freedom. We ended our night putting up the trampoline and having a bar-b-que. Brett and I aren't very social and hate hosting parties or inviting ourselves to parade on other people's parties so while eating just the two of us and the kids were playing we said why didn't we invite our family or friends over? It turned out to be a really nice evening. So what are y'all doing Monday night? Sean your house? Anyone? Have a fun and safe weekend.

weekend purchase

When asked what Brett and I do for a living I tell people Brett makes the money and I spend it. It's really not that hard for me. When Brett and I were first married I got one of those social security reports (?) and Brett said I only have one question for you. If you have been working for 10 years and making all this money where is it? It was never deposited into a savings account it just went straight into the economy. I really did my part in the 90's to help the economy grow. Being married to an accountant now has settled me. Now I am always checking our savings to watch it building up but every once an awhile I splurge and well while I was out Friday hitting the sales at the outlet malls my husband was out shopping as well but he only purchased one item and it was from an electronic store and well I bought about 6 outfits for each of the girls. So I personally feel like I am justified in my shopping and spending way less then Brett. I am actually really excitted for Brett's purchase. We have been saying we would buy a really nice camera and now that Brett is getting ready for a trip of a lifetime experience it will be fun to see all the photos when he returns. He is even letting me use it. It is amazing already we notice the difference in the picture clarity.

Kelty has been begging us to take her to St. George to go miniature golfing why drive all the way there let's just go to Cherry Hills and do some putting. There was one pink ball left at the counter and she kept eyeing it while standing in line. She finally just walked up to the counter even though people were still paying and grabbed the last pink ball. She was happy the whole time golfing.
Dad took Kelty on a date this afternoon to the Kaysville Theater to watch Spiderwick. I don't get it. She has been watching advertisements and it looked very scary so she said that Dad would take her since I told her the movie would scare me so I didn't want to go and when it finally came out she kept telling her dad he needs to take her. Brett says she did get scared but watched the whole movie. If she comes in our room in the middle of the night I am kicking Brett out to go sleep in her room on the bunkbed.
What a nice dad. He even took her to the movies in our "date truck". Whenever we go out without the kids we take the truck because I tell him I don't want to take the Tahoe since it is a mom's car and sometimes I just don't want to feel like a mom. If you know what I mean? Kelty got the royal treatment, popcorn, sprite and mike and ikes. I hope she always remembers these fun memories.

happy birthday mom

Today is Grandma "Swings" birthday. Kelty wanted to make tinkerbell cupcakes for Grandma with pink frosting and white sprinkles. We drove up to Grandma's and delivered the cupcakes, card and balloons however I think Kelty and Teagan ate 4 out of the 6 cupcakes we took up. We love you Pat. You are a wonderful mother, mother-in-law and grandmother. Thank you for all that you do. A few weeks ago for FHE we talked about mothers and I went around the room and asked everyone something they liked about their mothers and Brett didn't hesitate to say his mother's cooking especially her apple pie. We are looking forward to celebrate your birthday tonight by going out to eat and to the movie, Indianna Jones. We tried ordering warmer weather for you. It's not to late to make a wish. Have a wonderful day!

Oh the places I am still not ready for you to go to just yet

I am just remembering Kelty's first day of pre-school and all of us mom's brought our sweet children to Taylor Tots and all the other mom's were hugging and kissing their child goodbye and Kelty jumped out of the car and ran for the stairs and I told Kelty to wait so I could give her a hug and walk her to her room but she waived and said bye mom and took off running. She was down the stairs, backpack hung and washing her hands at the sink by the time I came in. She was born ready for school and has had a love for learning and reading early in life. Today she was typing everyone's name on the computer for practice. She wasn't just playing games she was typing. All the other mom's were talking and saying, "Oh I am going to cry right now because my baby is growing up and already in pre-school and I said well I'm not crying for that reason I am crying because my daughter didn't even want to kiss me goodbye or let me walk her inside.

Kelty had her first year of pre-school graduation today. I can't believe that the school year is over. Kelty has had a fun teacher and really liked her friends at school. We met at Hess Farm park and had a picnic and both Grandma's came. Kelty's class did a cute singing presentation well everyone else sang except for Kelty. She just stood there and didn't move a bit. Stage fright maybe but I was told she takes after me a little. I won't open presents up in front of people or even go up to get a medal if I placed in a race. When I asked Kelty later today how come she didn't sing today with her class since I have heard her singing the songs and this was her reply, "cuz I said to myself this is not my school this is a park". There you have it.
