Farewell BBQ

Our ward had a farewell BBQ for everybody that was moving. It was beautiful weather, fun activities and great company. I miss my friends already!

so long, farewell

Only 3 more days in San Rafael... I am excited to be done with school and get out of this apartment but I am going to miss a few things about northern California.

WHAT I AM GOING TO MISS.....

My friends
The weather
The beach
It is SOOOO beautiful here
The food
Did I already say our friends?
H&M
A three-story Forever 21
The parks in Marin
Girls movie nights
Mama's, Sol food, Boudin, Tart to Tart

WHAT I AM NOT GOING TO MISS...

allergies to something blooming right now (poor Jordon)
The drivers
This sorry excuse for an apartment that I am paying a small fortune for
Paying to park and to cross the bridge
Night clinic
Finals
Having one car
100 degrees and no air conditioning
Making a 13 hour drive to AZ
One way streets or stop signs every block
People looking at me like I am crazy when they see me with 3 kids
The pounding outside my window from the construction(not kidding, it would have driven my old neighbor to the nuthouse)

I will be coming back for graduation but Wednesday is goodbye for Kinley and Kaden. It is so sad for me to think they are not going to see some of their friends anymore. We have had so much fun making so many friends. I don't know what Kaden is going to do without Chris and Asher and Kinley without Madi, Hadley, and Benny. Luckily there are a bunch of us going to AZ so we will be able to get together.
Love you all!

Happy Mothers Day

I know this post is a week late, but I had a wonderful mothers day and I hope all of you mothers out there did too. Jordon made breakfast and dinner and bought me Mario Kart for our Wii. We are having fun playing it and trying to teach Kinley and Kaden how to do it. I am so blessed to be a mother to 3 beautiful healthy kids. I want my mom and mother in law to know we couldn't have asked for better mothers or grandmas for children. love you both!

French Bread

I came downstairs and found this....



I guess they were hungry. At least they were sharing, and we weren't having anybody over for dinner. :)

Top Ten for April

I have been slacking on the top ten, and my sister in law started doing it again so I thought I should start as well. I am pretty sure I lose a few more brain cells with each baby, so I might not remember some of the really funny things my kids have said. Here goes anyway....

10. We were driving to joy school when Kaden says "Mom, where we going?" "Joy school." " No, not joy school! I want to go to disneyland." "Ummm, ok."

9. We were talking about moving to AZ in a few weeks when Kinley said, "Do we get to see Papa D?" "Yes, we will stay at his house until we find one." "Good because I like it when Papa is a chicken and Grandma is a princess."

8. Kaden says to Jordon, "Dad, where your hair go?, I don't see it."

7. Kinley "Mom, how does Konnor poop if he just drinks milk? Milk makes pee and food makes poop." (When did she get so smart?)

6. I am not sure if Kaden's eye sight is bad or if he has a good imagination, but he was sitting on the potty and could see two nails in the wall. "Ahh, look mom, flies!"

5. Kinley has a joy school CD that we listen to in the car. When she starts to fall asleep we turn it up and say, "Sing Kinley" so she will stay awake. We could hear her singing and thought it was working, then I turn around and her eyes are closed and her head is down but she is still singing.

4. Kinley made a lifesize outline of herself at joy school. She had pigtails that day. When she came home we hung it on the wall and Kaden says "it's a sheep." Kinley was a little upset about this, but to be honest it did look a little like a sheep.

3. Kinley "Mom, I want to go to Arizona because my grandma said its okay if I suck my thumb."

2. I was in the kitchen getting something out of the fridge when Kaden walks up and starts licking the top of the hershey syrup bottle in the door. Part of what made is so funny is how he didn't grab it or pick it up. He just stretched his tongue as far as he could and kept licking the top. I wanted to get a picture but didn't.

1. Of course number one would be bringing baby Konnor into this family. He is a sweet boy and getting chubby already. (Of course he is... he eats ALL day and ALL night).

I am sure there were some better ones this month but this is the best I can remember. I am going to be better at writing these down.
