San Diego

This weekend the flight were very avaiable for us to take a quick trip to San Diego. The kids have never been there and to so we decided to go. We quickly rented a car and hotel Thursday night and off to San Diego on Friday. We had so much fun. When we got off the plane we quickly got our car and off to Sea World we went. We decided to purchase the two day pass and we were very glad that we did. The kids loved it and we have decided that it would be a fun vacation to do again some day.

This is Sage and Sadi while we were getting the car.






Scot, Sage and Jake on Atlantis getting soaked!!
Sadi was to short but kept telling me that when she grows up she would really like to ride.
This is the family in front of Atlantis already soaked!!

Lodge Pole Camp ground

We love to go camping with our family. In August we usually go with Scot's family up to Lodge Pole camp ground but this year Jake was not feel so well so we just went up for a day visit. Her are just some of the smiles that had while we were there!!

Sadi loves to swim!

Sadi took her first swimming lessons by herself and she loved it. She did so good for her age. She even dared to dunk her face in the water, but everytime she would do it she would go straight down and not get the top of her head wet. It was so funny. She even dared to jump off the diving board with a little help of another teacher who would lower her down and then her teacher would catch her without even her face getting wet.

Sadi age 3

This is our cousin Zach who took lessons with us.

Wephie lost her brain!!

First I must tell you I was listening to phone messages and Wephie had called to ask us if it was ok for her to go and see grandpa and grandma with us instead of staying at home. See earlier I had asked her is she was going to stay at home today (because I had to go up to my parents home in bountiful to help with sprinklers) and in case of an emergency I tell my kids to call her home. The conversation went like this
Sage: Wephie has lost her brain!
Mom: What did you just say?
Sage: Wephie has lost her brain!
Mom: Why do think that she has lost her brain?
Sage: Because she decided to go to grandpa and grandma home.
Mom: (think think think what is she saying in code???) Oh you mean Wephie has changed her mind, not lost her brain...
Sage:Yes that is what I mean!!

Lose...Lose...that all the girls wanted....

Jake baseball has finally ended with help from the girls pleading for him to lose. Sage and Sadi have had enough baseball in there lifes then I have in my 3 centuries that I have lived....thanks mom for not having any boys! Jake baseball season started out in April and just ended on the middle of July. He played for the Dodgers again a minor league team which took first place. From there he was selected to play on the all-star team for Riverton. We took 3rd place in one tournament and then when we went to the all-star tournament we took 3rd again which lead us to the state tournament. There we lost 2 games back to back and we were finally done. He is an excellent player. He played catcher for all of the above teams. The girls are just glad that we are done with baseball for now.

I have flowers growing in my stomach?

The conversation went like this..
Sage: Hey mom I have flowers growing in my stomach.
Mom: Did you just say flowers like the ones we have outside?
Sage: Yes mom I have flowers growing in my stomach, remember you told me that I like to eat dirt when I was a baby and now I have been eating sunflower seeds at the baseball games, and I just drank water this morning and I have been in the sun this afternoon. This is what you told me that a flower need to grow right mom.
Mom: I guess that you have flowers growing in your stomach.

I can not believe that this is what she thinks, I was not sure if I should tell her that the dirt that she ate as a young baby was gone now. I think that is a conversation that I can have with her when I have a lot more time on my hands!!

Sage is a pumpkin eater!!

Today on the way home from dropping Jake off at allstar baseball practice Sage was wanting me to quiz her on some spelling word that she would get as a first grader. I asked her to spell Wal-Mart because we were just passing the store and she started to cheat and looked at the sign. I called her a cheater cheater pumpkin eater. Sadi, Sage, and I giggled and then I start to quiz her on some new words, like store and sat. About 10 word later Sadi yelled out Sage is a pumpkin eater... I was amazed that she related the cheater cheater pumpkin eater to Sage eating pumpkins. She is a smart girl!!
