Yesterday we were in the grocery store. When the girls stopped chasing each other around, Allie looked at Jaycie and said, "So, what's the word on the street?" Jaycie just started laughing, and so did I. I asked Allie where she heard that and she just laughed and said, "I don't know". (She is barely three.) Where did she come from?
The other night Jaycie was talking to my dad on the phone. He was asking her some questions, and he asked, "Do you miss Grandma and I?" She just very seriously said, "No." My parents laughed so hard - thank goodness! I am glad that she is an honest little girl, but maybe a little less honesty would have been okay in that case!!

Learning Llamas!
This is funny!! So, our good friends (and next door neighbors) T.J. and Teresa Bingham and us have been playing pranks on each other for the past couple years. It all started when Crae put a 35 foot tube standing up in their yard (dirt) when they were out of town. Well, they returned the prank by putting it back in our yard right in the middle of our dirt pile (we were putting in our yard) and wrapped it with Christmas lights all the way up!! (This was during the summer!!) Well, there have been many more - and many more to come!! Keep posted.
Here's the story. T.J. was imitating an activity I did for preschool. (Their son comes to my preschool.) I told him he should start a preschool. He said that he was going to start one and copy all my ideas and charge half price so all my kids would go to his. So...
This is my preschool sign I had up in my yard until my classes were full.
The other day, this was what was in our front yard!! This is T.J.'s sign advertising his preschool. I think it looks so professional!
T.J., I really hope this works out for you!!!

Going Private!!
So I really didn't really think about how many people check our blog until I put the little counter thing on it. I have noticed that there are a lot more people checking it out than are making comments. I really never wanted to go "private", but I think I have been convinced to do so. I really am worried that I will lose contact with some friends by doing this, so please if you have ever checked out our blog, or are interested in keeping in touch, please leave me your email address and I will invite you. Thanks!!!

Beautiful Kauai
Crae and I just returned from an awesome trip to Kauai. We had such a great time. Crae's mom and sisters were kind enough to watch Jaycie and Allie so we could go. We stayed at the Grand Hyatt, which was absolutely amazing. It is such a crazy feeling to walk into a hotel and have an open garden in the middle of the lobby with an open wall with the view of the ocean. The rooms were so clean and pretty, and the pool was the hugest pool I have ever seen. (plus there was a slide, which was a must for Crae!)
Our first day there, we took a tubing adventure through these irrigation ditches that had been used for an old sugar cane plantation. It was kind of weird, but amazing! The ditches went through underground tunnels for over 70 percent of the ride We had to wear helmets and head lamps. Good thing cuz I bonked by head on the side of the tunnels too many times to count. There were lots of tipping tubes over and splashing going on which mad it even more exciting. On the drive up and down, drove in these cool old Swiss army trucks - Crae decided that he wants one - dream on!!
The next day, we took a Napali Explorer adventure along the Napali Coast in a raft boat. It was by far the most amazing place I have ever seen. Aside from my slight motion sickness, we loved it. I have never been on a boat, let alone a raft-boat in the ocean. It was like nothing else I have ever experienced. The guide took us out to a spot in the ocean where we could see the dolphins. They swam all around the raft and jumped out of the water. (There were even baby dolphins!) We also were able to get off the boat and snorkle, which was okay, but I was afraid of getting eaten by a shark, so I didn't last long. On the way back into the harbor, the wind picked up and the ride was a little wild. We were doing some serious wave jumping!! Tons of fun.
The rest of the trip, we spent either at the amazing pool, at the beach or driving to see waterfalls, Waimai Canyon, etc. It was by far the most beautiful place I have ever seen! I think everyone needs to go sometime in their life.
This was our view from the deck off our room.
Getting ready for our tubing adventure!
Beautiful view - Crae doesn't look bad either!
At one of our many dinners out on the lawn at our resort. It was a beautiful night, even when we got rained out!!
This was the coolest swimming hole we have ever seen. It had rocks for cliff jumping and the hugest rope swing ever.

Preschool Begins!
My preschool started back up this week. I have two three-year-old classes and one four-year-old class. They are all so cute. It was a great first week. I really loved my job at Bear River Head Start, but it is so great to have a change and to be able to stay home with my girls. I am feeling so much relief just being able to teach preschool in my home. I am really hoping my girls can handle attending six preschool classes a week! I hope they learn something!!:)
This is my four-year-old class.
