Conversation with Kenzie

This morning as I'm sweeping up breakfast....

Kenzie: Hey mom
Me: Yes Kenzie
Kenzie: I didnt tell the truth last night, I told a lie
Me: about what?
Kenzie: Well when you gave me a piece of cake and put the rest in the garbage...
me: wondering where this was going.....
Kenzie: I ate the piece you gave me, but then I took the piece out of the garbage and ate it too..
Pause-I think she was waiting for me to say something
Kenzie: and it was better than the first piece I ate

Me: silence......


yuck yuck yuck

King Kong Mason

Meet King Kong: destroyer of all, and he likes to give himself kisses :)

Kindergarten already?

Kindergarten registration was last night.....already?!?!? Am I ready for her to go to school? Am I ready for her to be around people and things I dont approve of? I wont be in control anymore, and that scares the heck out of me!!
She was sooo excited about the library! She didn't even want to look at the classrooms she just wanted to look at all the books..such a big girl!
The teachers did a little craft with the kids and Mackenzie was the last one to get up from the table, all the other kids had ran out, and the teacher told Jason how impressed she was with Kenzie, she waited her turn for the colors and glue she wanted, and wouldn't get up until she finished. I have a feeling she is going to be a little perfectionist like her daddy :)

Mackenzie's Prayer

So first let me tell you, Mackenzie has night terrors. She usually has them once a week, she can be totally asleep, screaming and crying at the top of her lungs, sometimes standing in the corner staring at the wall. (its kinda scary)...when she is having one I actually get a little bit scared thinking about where she will be standing or what she will be mumbling....Imagine the girl from that stupid scary movie "the ring", that's what she looks like in her dark room, hunched over, hair in her face. scary thought. OK, Traci-STOP!

Lately she has told us that she has nightmares about the Abominable Snowman coming out of her closet...to which I say, he is only grumpy because he has no friends, but then Rudolph and the other misfit toys find him and all is well...



So tonight for prayer, it was her turn...here's how it went....

Heavenly Father, Please help me be brave. Please help us to have great safety. Please don't let any monsters come out of my closet..well..only the ones from Monster's Inc, you know right? Mike and Sully, they are funny...oh! and Princesses can come out of my closet too. but no-one else. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

I wish I had my camera when she said it...

In My Next Life....

I'M GONNA BE A BEAR
In this life I'm a Woman. In my next life, I'd like to come back as a bear. When you're a bear you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for 6 months. I could deal with that.

Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that too.

When you're a girl bear, you birth children (who are the sizes of walnuts) while you are sleeping and wake them to them partially grow. cute, cuddly cubs. I could definitely deal with that.

If you're a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cub gets out of line, you swat them too. I could deal with that.

If you're a bear, your mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling. He EXPECTS that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat.

Yup, gonna be a bear!

My Inspiration and my Aggravtion





Cousins!!

My Brother and his family moved from Vegas to Salt Lake 2 weekend's ago, so I made a quick trip to SLC to grab my nephews so my brother and his wife could unpack without the pitter patter of little feet tearing up boxes! We had lots of fun and cant wait for them to come back and hang out some more.

We went to Wahooz fun Center and let the kids get lots of energy out. Nicki mastered this obstacle
Mackenize and Sal
On our way to Givens Hot Springs to go swimming
Silly Faces!
Best Buds
Little bums
Boy Bath Time (blackmail for when they are older)
ugh, love this kid!
Do not get near Sal when he is driving, he is terrible!
I told Nicki to smile, and this is what he did, haha..this picture just makes me laugh
Meet Sal, Project Manager, Gardner, Dad and Teacher, oh wait, and I forgot Dr.
I have video's I'd like to upload so check back for those :)

Where did Feburary Go?

Not sure why, but Harper's friends all got sent to the corner..We all know why Evil Dr. Pork chop would get sent there, but not Handy Manny? or Zebra or Mickey's alien friend...who knows?
Kenzie got to see her Big Nanny and Pop
Jason turned 31! what an old man :) He got a popcorn machine, and popcorn, and I did lots of research and found out where they sell the yummy popcorn salt at the OPC 123 movie place...Happy Birthday dude!

Mase is still the cutest little almost 8 month old that I know. :) He started eating table foods like a pro
These 2 are Harper's puppies, they go everywhere with him, Mason got a new toy and Harper insists on toting these guys around with him wherever he goes, especially to watch Scooby Doo.
Mase learned how to drink from a sippy cup, took him quite a few tries but he actually get the drink out now!
My Tuesday's are filled with these crazy kids :)
After Mason and Jay and I were done being sick....Kenzie got it. She got such a high fever we had take her to ER. Scary!
Daddy thinks it funny to let Harper climb up on the ledge/shelf thing that runs along the top of the room, mommy doesn't like it.
Mackenize got a hair cut, and they painted her nails, and made her hair in a pretty braid. Such attitude already..
