Ding Dongs!!

Last night my parents babysat Kate while the boys and I went to the Real Soccer Game! Before they came we ate dinner and after Bryan let us each have a left over Ding Dong from family home evening the night before ( he was in charge of treats). Kate and Alex decided they didn't want theirs, they wanted to save them for lunch today. My dad likes to scavenger for goodies when he is here and we don't have a problem with that, but the ding dongs were special so we hid them so grandpa wouldn't eat them. So we get home from the game and Kate was asleep, Grandma and Grandpa told us this story.

So what does Kate do, she whispers to Grandma "We hid some ding dongs from grandpa". So they told grandpa about it and Kate showed them where they were and they decided to play a trick on us. Kate re hid them!

This morning when I was making Alex's lunch I said to Kate, "honey, I think Grandpa found the ding dongs because they aren't in here!" She gave the slyest little grin and then said " No!! I hid them in the Dora fruit snack box!" She thought she was so clever and she was. I have to say it was very funny.

Preschool Makeup Day!

Last week Kate's preschool teacher had to cancel school one day because she was sick. A couple of days later I got an e-mail saying she would hold a makeup day the following Friday. I asked Kate if she wanted to go to the makeup day and she was all excited and said yes.



Yesterday as she was getting ready for us to leave, she looked at me and said "I am so excited, today Miss Tami is going to do my makeup" ( as she was rubbing her face gently like she was brushing on blush). I looked at her and just started laughing.

I said "no, honey, that is not what I meant, Miss Tami is having a day where you can go to preschool because you missed a day when she was sick." " You are not going to have your makeup done."



Later when her dad was asking her about it, he asked what the boys were going to do while the girls got makeup and she said the boys were not going to come. This is one of my favorite Kate stories, I was telling my mom and dad about it and I was laughing so hard I was crying.

7. Lunch out at the Pizza Factory! We love their pizza and bread twists.

6. Movie nights! Every night we were there we snuggled up and watched a movie.

5. Boys shooting stories. After the boys went shooting - Nick and Alex spent an entire hour telling me every target they shot at and every shot they took. It was so cute and surprisingly detailed.

4. Hiking in Snow Canyon and playing at the park.

3. Playing in the sand dunes at Snow Canyon.

2. " I'm an old man" We were on a hike and on our way back to the car, Kate was getting tired and so she when she saw the van she said, "I'm almost there - I can do it." and she started running. Nick and I had stopped to wait for her and all the sudden she stopped, put her hand on her back and leaned over a little and said "I'm an old man." And she walked that way most the way left to the van. Nick and I had a good laugh over that one.

1. Spending the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa.
