Talking at level 5.5

A conversation between me and Kai this morning (Sunday)...

Kai: Dad Luke and I are going to watch Thomas the Tank Engine and the Magic Railroad.

Izzy: I don't know if that is such a good idea, maybe you should watch a church cartoon.

Kai: Arrrrgh? Why! (said with a significant amount of whining)...Is it because you want the spirit in the house??

Izzy: Yes.

Kai: Does the spirit make you hot?

At this point I was a little confused by the question and Kai ran away. Later Shirey asks

Shirey: Does the spirit make you hot?

Kai: Yes sometimes.

We'll have to do some follow up and find out where this is coming from. My guess it that at somepoint someone said the the spirit is a warm feeling in your heart.

Bacon/Tuna

Ok, so I've got a new sandwich for you guys. It's a bacon, tuna, chedder, tomato sandwich. It doesn't sound intuitive, but it was super good. I had two for dinner. Sydney has started to give kisses. Usually she will put her open mouth on your check, then give it a lick and then pause for a second then make a sucking sound, and then lastly look at you with a blank stare no matter how much you cheer her one for learning something new.

Look at my buzz!!!

Luke finally let us buzz his hair!! Isn't he the cutest little boy ever. We love our Lukey.

Being Awesome

The first and probably most important step to being awesome is communication with the divine.

We Survived

Jesse the bike trip is slated for Sept. 1st (Monday) through the 3rd (Wednesday). See the couch below.














Working the swim.

Well the kids and I survived 4 whole days without Shirey. We had fun, mostly doing little projects around the house and the yard. It was interesting having Shirey gone. You spend nearly everyday with someone and after awhile you forget how to function without them there. We are actually going to participate in a ward function this year for 4th of July. Traditionally we are a little slow to get involved with holiday functions within our wards, but we are gettin crazy this year.

I think that pizza or maybe french bread and lasagna are my favorite foods. I have yet to meet anyone that dislikes pizza and I would probably call them a liar if the said they didn't like it. Pizza is just so awesome in its simplicity, flat bread with cheese sauce and toppings. So simple yet limitless in it's possibilities. My favorite recently has been pepperoni with mushrooms and sausage.

Been thinking about taking the kids to the river for some cliff jumping...ya I know they are too young. Sydney is now saying "Uh-Ohh" and "Kai Kai" (which comes out more like guy guy). I heard recently that Arco doesn't import their gas from Saudi Arabia, so I have been buy there more. It just feels like Saudi is just trying to stick it to us.

Yesterday Sydney kept taking off her diaper, thus rendering herself naked. I go out to check on the car, come back in the house...Sydney's...naked, I go get the mail, come back in the house...Sydney's....naked... I hope this doesn't continue into the future too much. Speaking of naked we were at the park yesterday and the kids were playing in the fountain and towards the end of our visit I look up and Kai is fully naked save a sliver of clothing around his ankles. My kids just don't think about nakedness. They always run out naked when we have company over. Maybe we need a naked squirt bottle. We had a squirt bottle we called the sass spray bottle that we would threaten Kai with when he was getting a little bit of a sass mouth. Maybe we could squirt him with cold water as a deterent.

Well I'm done rambling.
