about that passport...

Daniel's passport was damaged so as we were about to get on the plane they told him he couldn't go. I've been here in Mexico since Saturday adn he's still stuck in Houston :( Not exactly what we expected. Hopefully his new passport will be finished by tomorrow and he can come enjoy the last half of our all inclusive resort stay. I feel awful for Daniel and I totally balled my eyes out at the airport but I am here with my parents and drinking pina coladas at the pool everyday so really I ask for no pitty... hope to see my hubby soon.

Adios...

passports? * check * swimsuit? * check * teary-eyes saying goodbye to my kids for 8 days? * double check * And we're off to Cancun!

Look...."UP"

Can you guess what movie we saw?

Kolby called it the movie theat-er-later.

I loved this movie! I laughed, I cried... ahhhh good stuff. Not to mention the squirrel jokes...right up my alley.

My sis-in-law organized a bunch of friends to go. The theater was packed and it was all too funny to hear so many kids' responses during the movie.

Kolby and I had special bonding time which is always fun because it reminds me of when he was the only child and i had more one on one time with him. He sat so still and was completely into it. He freaked out once and said he wanted to go home during a "fight scene". He told me the grown-ups were not being very nice. My sensitive boy:) I must confess too that we were not "green", our 3D glasses came home with us.

MMMMMmmmm

Did anyone else enjoy their tasty freebie?

My Movie Stars

Today i skipped the gym and decided to make a little time for silly play time. In the midst of trying to get ready for our trip, I've been kinda busy with last minute details, organization projects, and running a billion errands. I'm glad I took an hour to just play, otherwise how would I have caught Olivia teaching her dolls to say prayers over tea time or kolby creating his own monster jam show. I can't wait for a vacaction but I gotta admit, I'm gonna miss these little guys. They kept asking me to take video clips of them....perhaps they're movie stars in the making.

I hope she acts this way at stake dances too. I suppose the manly voice just comes when you're talking about Monster Trucks

Not so lady-like

Last week Olivia saw me painting my toenails. She said, "I want toes!" I was tickled pink to have girly time with my 2 year old. She's been putting on her make-up with me for months now and I was beginning to think, how cute that she is so girly and lady-like. Yesterday I went to get her out of her crib when I noticed she was chewing on something. I knew there wasn't anything in her crib or within reach when i put her down and she wasn't eating anything before. I asked her what was in her mouth. Then I gagged. She pulled out a soggy bloody bandaid that used to be on her scabby knees. The most disgusting part is that I never did find the other one.

"I want Jesus"

This is what Olivia says as we say its time to leave the temple.

We had one of those marathon Saturdays today. My piano students had their recital this morning. I got home grabbed some lunch then we headed off to see one of Daniel's student's Senior Recital (which was amazing) then we changed our clothes, headed over to the temple to let the kids see "jesus's house" and attended a wedding reception. My feet are killing me! Even though it was a bit crazy to attend so many events with no naps or stops at home, (we had clothes and shoes and make-up packed in the trunk), it was kinda nice to get out of the house and spend all day together.

And this one is of kolby staring at the angel Moroni. Tonight when we read scriptures we learned about the Moroni visiting Joseph Smith. Kolby immediately responded, " I saw him today. He was in the sky, on the temple". So apparently lessons like don't write on the wall go in one ear and out the other but the gospel seems to stick. I suppose there is hope afterall.
