Jet+Tub=Jet Tub

Driving home from church one day, one of the squirrels asked the following question:

If you had lots of money to get whatever you want, what would get?

Me:  "I would like a jet tub.   A nice, big jet tub."

Livvy: "Why?  Is it so that you can fly around the house?  Because that would be a lot faster than walking."  

Ha-ha-ha!!!  We all just busted up laughing!  Great memory!

Jet Tub!

Don't Get Out Much

As my sister, her girls, me and my girls walked to the Seattle Aquarium,  I was looking at the pictures on my camera.   I looked up and noticed 2 women holding hands walking towards us.  Ew.  I couldn't believe it!  So while holding my camera down as if still looking at pictures on it, I took a picture of them.

My sister just started laughing and said, "you don't get out much, do you?"  Nope.  I don't.  That's just disgusting.

Voluntary Bedtime

Every Sunday is pretty routine.  Breakfast, church, lunch, laze around or play until dinner which is after 5 p.m.  Then we do family scripture/prayer, play until 7 p.m.  At that time, Terry's gone to Stake Choir and the girls settle in for America's Funniest Video's.  They love it!  Then at 8 p.m., they watch Extreme Home Makeover while I throw together our weekly treat.  Once the Makeover show ends, they turn off the TV, clean up the treat mess and head up to bed.  Then Terry or I follow them up and tuck them in.  The End.

Yesterday, we drifted a bit from our routine.  I didn't have ward choir to go to, so I ended up taking a nap.  I didn't have a plan for dinner, so I ended up making grilled cheese sandwiches for the girls, and bean & cheese quesadillas for Terry & I.  While we were eating, Terry received a phone call that took a bit of time from his dinner.  By the time he finished his dinner, I was laying on the bed with a stomach ache (again).  We totally forgot about doing family scripture/prayer before he left for Stake Choir.  I ended up staying on the bed for the rest of the night.  The girls watched their shows, as usual.   But they ended up just popping microwave popcorn for the treat (I couldn't throw something together on account of my stupid stomach).  At 9 p.m., Terry came into the room and asked if I was ready to do scriptures/prayer.  I said no.  I was watching "Merlin" and it was too interesting to be interrupted.  Besides, it's summer and the girls can watch it, too if they want.  That's when we both noticed the family room was vacant of the 4 squirrels.  What?  Where did they go?  After Terry investigated, they all returned to the family room.  They had all voluntarily gone up to bed!  Whose kids ever do that?!?  When I told them how awesome they were for doing that, and then said they could stay up and watch "Merlin", they were a bit confused.  But when I pointed out that we still had scripture reading to do and we weren't going to do it until 10 p.m., the light illuminated their understanding.

We are the luckiest parents to have such diligent and obedient kids!  They continue to amaze us every day:)
