We went to visit Nate's grandma in Provo. His cousin's motorcycle was parked in the driveway. Isaac and Brig were in total awe,
"Whoa! We never knew Grandma Nina drives a motorcycle!"


As we were leaving Disney. . .
Nate: Well, say good-bye to Disneyland. This is our last night.
Eliza: Um, no. I think we're just going to stay here.
don't we all wish. . .


The kids were in rafts, "cleaning the moss" out of the pond. It was very counterproductive to say the least. Here's a conversation I overheard from the shore.
Brig: I saw a snake!
Issac: You did? What did it look like?
Brig: Um. . . it looked. . . really. . . snake-ish.
Isaac: Oh yeah, I know which one your talking about. I saw that one too.


The kids were digging waterways in the sandbox. Isaac had a moment of frustration.
Isaac: Grrrr, my bridge is destroyed every time the water comes through!
Clay: It's called erosion, Isaac.
Isaac: Well, I hate erosion.
I think it's time I take my kids to see the Grand Canyon.


The boys were playing games on the trampoline. Clayton came running in with two deep bloody gouges on his knee.
Me: Ahh, what happened? What went through your knee?
Clay: My teeth.
that's one way to play "crack the egg" I guess.


Eliza came home from church with a book she made, titled "I Have Feelings". It read:
Page 1: I am sad when my mommy says I can't go swimming or have a treat.
Page 2: I am mad when mommy won't let me have a treat.
Page 3: I am happy when mommy gives me candy!
hmm. my plan to cut back on sugar is clearly taking it's toll.
