A whole lotta entertainment . . . .

A few weeks ago I was able to get together with my high school friends for a night away. By a night away, I mean a night IN with a lot of food. We had so much fun! We, of course, stayed up until the wee hours of the morning laughing and talking. Kathryn cooked us up some delightful eats, which we got rid of in a hurry. We went to a dancing Zumba class, hot tubbin', and shopping. We fit A LOT of fun into 24 hours. Thanks so much girls! It was a blast!

Here are my kiddos playing in the tub. They both love everything about it as long as they are together. If they're separate they get pretty bored. Could they be any cuter?

A typical night in our household. Kai is sucking on the markers, Ava is creating art, and I'm trying to keep it all off of my sheets. :)

I also wanted to add that on the way home from Utah a couple of weekends ago, Randy pointed out that he used to always sing "Ava! Las Vegas!" to the litte Miss when she was a baby. (Think of the tune "Viva Las Vegas.") Does anybody find that humorous considering we never EVER thought we'd move here? I do. :)

Russ and Kristen Olsen said...: Oh my gosh, the original "sevies" I don't know if any of you remember that, but I do :) That's so fun you guys still get together. And your kids couldn't be any cuter. Heaven knows I love tubby pictures.; March 9, 2010 at 8:21 PM
Annie Nielson said...: I'm still mad I didn't/couldn't go, ugh. Kith's house looks gorgeous!! And it looks like you had tons of fun. Did you like the Zumba class?? I've been wanting to try one at the gym but I don't dare :)

Anyway, let's plan another getaway so I can go :); March 9, 2010 at 8:35 PM

Insight from Ava and Kai

We saw a newborn baby panda on the tv and Kai said, "Mom, can we PLEASE get a baby panda instead of a dog?" I told him that Panda's have to live either at the zoo or in the wild and he said, "I know! Let's move to the wild!"
8/12 Kai yelled to me, "Mom! Boston just pointed at the window and said 'curtain'!" Wow - what a 2 month old. :)
6/12 Ava and Kai call Boston a "born baby" in place of newborn baby.
3/12 Kai recently decided that he was having a baby too and his name was Yogurt. Also - my kids got stick horses from Grandpa and Kai named his Poban. Ava said the name "just came to both of them! It was perfect!"
7/11 Ava and Kai were pretending to be babies while I was organizing pictures on the computer. Apparently not getting enough attention from me, she said in frustration, "I can't believe you're playing on the computer when we were JUST born!" Bad mom indeed.
4/11 Ava's favorite new thing to say is, "Don't give me that Attitude, I've got my own!" I laughed really hard the first time she said it and then sat her down and explained that she really shouldn't say that to anybody else. Especially teachers or something. That girl kills me.
12/10 "Mom, those look fabulous! Fabulous means beautiful in Spanish."
12/10 "Mom! That's the easier way!" When referring to whatever it is that is "her" way at the moment.
6/10 Ava told me that she wanted us to pretend we were in the "Book of Normans", but she got to be the Hairy Godmother. Alrighty then.
6/10 Ava said to me, "Hey Mom? Why does Grandma Annie have toys at her house? There are no kids there. Kai was wondering."
6/10 At 3:30 in the morning I heard Ava yell to me. I stumbled out of bed, half asleep, went in her room and asked her what she needed. I heard her little voice say to me, "Hey Mom! Whatcha doing?"
6/10 I've figured out that the best way to get Ava in bed at night is to go in my room across the hall from her until she's asleep. She'll say little comments to me like, "Mommy! I hope you sleep good!" Or, "Mommy, I love you so much!" Or, "Mommy! Are you going to bed? Are you tired?" After a few minutes of this, she decides she's sleepy and will say to me matter of factly, "I'm tired now Mom. I'm going to go to bed like a big girl!" Well, the other night she said, "Mommy! I hope I see you in the morning!" Um, ya, me too. Then she said to me, "You know Mom, at night it's kindof like we all go bye-bye and then come back in the morning." Funny girl.
4/10 I said to Ava, "Is your name 'the cutest girl in the whole world'?" She replies with, "No, my name is Ava, but I am a very cute girl."
4/10 - 3:30 AM. I hear Ava yelling "Mom! Come Here!" I go in and she says, "I have a secret." I lean down and she says, "I love you." Then she says, "Now lay by me for a few minutes."
2/10 We were driving down the street and saw a girl walking. Ava said, "Mom is that a lady? You're not a lady because you have kids. I bet she doesn't have kids so she is a lady."
2/10 Ava's new favorite thing to say is "In the stead." As in, "Mom, in the stead of watching Dora, I want to watch Wonder Pets." Or, "In the stead of doing puzzles, I want to play with Barbies."
11/09 Just recently Ava has started calling me Little Fox. As in, "Hello Little Fox!" or "What are you doing Little Fox?" I have no idea why!
6/11/09 During a hailstorm she said, "Mom, it's not snowing, but it's not raining." Then she said, "It's raining snowballs!"
6/10/09 We were watching Bambi and Ava said, "Look Mommy, now he has sticks!" I was confused until I realized she was talking about his antlers!
5/28/09 Ava had an "accident" and I was SOOOO mad! She said to me, "Mom, can I say sorry and give you a hug and a kiss?" She did and then a few minutes later she said, "Mom, be nice, not mad." Then a bit after that she said, "Are you happy or sad?" She's always testing the waters to see exactly where she stands.
4/17/09 This morning Ava told me, "You're really getting to be a big girl mommy!" Ummm . . . . thanks?
I told Ava if she went to bed REALLY good we could go see the fishies tomorrow. She said, "Mom, is the fee twenty dollars?" I don't even know how she knows the word "fee."
She walked up to me, tapped on my belly, and said, "Come out baby Kai! I want to play with you!"
She said, "You're a big girl Mommy and Ava's a big girl too! Daddy is a big boy just like Kalel!" (Kalel is her baby doll that she named after our cute little neighbor boy)
I was singing a funny song to Ava and she said to me, "Relax Mom!"
To me - "What's Crackin' Cracker Jack! That's what daddy says!"
I told Ava to quit being whiny and she said, "I not whiny Mom, I just very sad."
