I Love Summer!!!

Last Monday we went water-skiing with Papa at Willard Bay and had a wonderful time, as usual. Then we sent the kids home with Papa, because I had Young Women "Girls' Camp" from Tuesday-Friday. It was such a blast. We did silly skits, played crazy games, ate tons of yummy food, made crafts, stayed up late every night, strengthened friendships, went on a beautiful hike, enjoyed terrific speakers, learned a lot about first-aid, and just generally had a fantastic week together. The girls in our ward were super--they helped out without complaining and got along really well--I am so lucky to be able to spend time with these amazing young women.

Then, Friday afternoon, after a quick shower and re-packing, we headed out for our Jensen family reunion at Wasatch State Park. It was lots of fun as well. Swimming, motorcycle/4-wheeler rides, campfires, star-gazing, card games, and more yummy food made a great weekend.

I had about 10 loads of laundry to do when I got home, and I probably gained 10 pounds, but it's all worth it! I love summer!

"Kidisms" (things my kids say that I want to remember)

June 2019

I was chatting with Bryan and Miles, and Bryan happened to do the Dirty Harry line, "Go ahead, make my day." Miles was a little familiar with it, but not quite sure and he asked, "isn't that the cowboy...what's his name, Clive Eastman or something?"

April 2019

We were talking about the stupid name Heinz gave to their new fry sauce ("Mayochup"). I mentioned that I also saw "Mayocue" sauce in the store. Clever Bree said they should sell "Mayoturd." Hahaha!

January 2019

I was helping Bree with her piano song; she is just starting to learn about key signatures, sharps, and flats. She pointed to the sharp sign and wondered about the "hashtag."

Tonight we were chatting and Bryan joked about how he likes "livin' on the edge." Miles said, "Mom likes livin' on the edge too...as long as she has a good book." Haha, that boy knows his mama!

December 2018

We got some Ghirardelli chocolates for a gift and Tess wanted some, but she had a little bout of dyslexia and asked for "ger-da-helli" chocolates. So now when we are bugged with each other, we just say "Ger-da-helli!" to each other.

November 2018

Bryan took the kids to the church to play ball, and Miles was running in the parking lot and tripped right over his feet and biffed it. He stood up, exasperated, and yelled, "I hate these GIGANTIC feet!" Poor guy!

August 2018

Bree was making a "potion" with her friends and proudly came to show me her creation. She said she made "hansitizer" (hand sanitizer) and when I asked the ingredients she said "water, dish soap, poppy seeds, and sriracha!" I'm not so sure that hansitizer would get hands very clean!

July 2018

Bree was packing a bag for a sleepover at G&G T's house and tried to shove a big stuffed animal into her small backpack. It wouldn't fit, and she pulled it out, saying, "Hmmm, she has constipation. She doesn't like being in small, tight spaces." I guess she mixed up claustrophobia with constipation, hahahaha!
