Our Family Of Six: Double Digits

Double Digits

Turning 10 is soooo old to our daughter because as she says, "It means I'm in the double digits." We love her no matter how 'old' she thinks she is.

Her brother loves her too. Much to our surprise he created a treasure hunt all on his own so she could find the present he bought for her. The clues were hidden in balloons around the house. What a sweet (and creative) brother.

We combined her birthday celebration and our anniversary with a stay at Mandalay Bay. We spent two days poolside. Alternating between the pools, lazy river, and the wave pool kept us busy. What a splash!!

Out of the Mouth of Babes

This conversation happened at Kneaders: "I am going to save the rest of this dessert for later." "You mean, so you can eat it in 5 minutes?"
"I didn't know poop could be so fun." Comments after a junior ranger activity held at Cedar Breaks National Park. The junior rangers were looking through owl scat to discover what the owl had eaten. Their owl ate a small rodent. :)
Overheard while riding in the car with E driving, "Should I be wearing a helmet?" "I'm too young to die."
We were discussing clean language and words to avoid. Someone spoke up and mentioned that they heard a student at school say the "B" word. We asked them to spell the forbidden word: BULK. We quickly told them that word was okay to use.
After a presentation, one of our children told their sibling, "I love you. Now, go sit down."
