Home Sweet Home

Kelly arrived home from girls camp around noon on Friday! She had a great time! She climbed a rock wall and went river rafting!
Our friend Jody posted some great pics so we added them to our blog!

Daleen and Heather joined me yesterday in dipping lots of fruit in chocolate. We made candied chocolate strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, bananas and cake pops! We may have overdone it a bit! I was drenched in chocolate most of the time so I didn't get any pics of the process, but here are a couple of the results.

We made about 4 times as many as shown here!

After our chocolate adventure we spent a leisurely afternoon at the pool. Mayreen and Heather joined us. What a great day!

Camp

Kelly left for girl's camp this morning. They all wore tie dye shirts today. They will be river rafting the Kern River and roughing it in tents this year. Kelly was excited for "real" camping instead of hair and makeup classes! We are anxiously awaiting her opinion when she returns on Friday!

H20

More fun at the pool on Monday. Mimi, Natalie, and Rebecca joined us for some fun in the sun. Chelsie is getting braver in the water and hopefully will be losing the floaties soon. They also had fun running through the fountain. Kelly was a great sport and jumped in with the little girlies.

SUMMER

Summer has finally arrived! The girls have been out of school for a week now. We spent a while at the pool last night. It was a nice relaxing evening. Good practice for Palm Springs!

All geared up

Catch!

The little girlies learned how to "chicken fight" as the older girlies assisted.

Cuties

Our two cute girls before church this morning!

Berries for the baptism!

We made chocolate, candy covered berries for our friend, Sarah's baptism today. These berries were fattened up with mounds of dark chocolate and extra candy crumbs!

Move over strawberries, our little raspberries are making their debut!!! We even tried a few butterfinger bananas this morning--mmmm!!!

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.
