Our Kourtney is SO cute! I told her it was time to get dressed for school. She went to her room, put in the wedding singer cd and started shaking her shoulders. Then she bobbed her way to her dresser where she shook her bootie while picking out her clothes. Then she caught me watching her and threw up her hands and shook her whole body. I had a big grin on my face and told her "You make me happy." She said "You're welcome!" LOL Loved it! :D

Snuck into the girls room to check on them tonight. Kayla was missing from her bed but I found both girls cuddled up together in Kourtney's top bunk. Adorable!

Kourtney had a bad dream earlier tonight but I tucked her back in her bed and then she came out saying she had another bad dream. I felt bad for her so I put her on your side of the bed. Her words, "When I'm sound asleep you can put me in my bed." ;)

Kourtney: Hey Mom, Look! Its an American flag. Its a different American flag. I call it a fag.
Me: (speechless)
Kourtney: You know what a fag is?
Me: what is it?
Kourtney: Its a REALLY fast car that drives on roads!

Picked Kayla up from school. The teachers informed the parents that the kids learned about 9-1-1 today so to remind them the right times to use it. So I asked Kayla, "You learned about 9-1-1 today?" She nods. "When do you call 9-1-1?"
"When you have an emergency. If you fall and get a bump on your head."
"You call 9-1-1 for a bump on your head?" She nods.
"Who answers when you call 9-1-1?"
"The police...oh look! Its Kade! I'm going to marry Kade...in the forest! And we're going to live happily ever after!"
Oi, she's already getting distracted by boys!

The girls came up this morning and Kourtney asked if I really have a baby in my tummy (because usually my answer is no). I told her yes there is. She started saying "hi baby", and I told her that the baby would be growing ears soon so they should talk to the baby a lot so it knows their voices. She patted my tummy then walked away. A minute later she came back with a book and read a story to the baby. It about made me cry, it was SO sweet!

Just saying, your daughters love you. They said things tonight like, (Kourtney) "when Daddy comes home make sure he comes to say goodnight, and tell him that he can come sleep with me." (Kayla) "Daddy really, really loves me!" :) They sure know their Daddy loves them, and they sure love you!

Today Kayla drew a picture of Daddy on the white board. A stick figure. She had me add clothes so he wasn't naked. It was so cute.
April 14th 2012
Kourtney is drawing buildings now too! She drew an apartment building with doors, windows, balconies, and is built with brick! Pretty impressive!
April 17th 2012
Kayla started counting out loud in her sleep last night. 1...2...3...4...5. Then she started clamping her teeth together. Dreams of preschool? Counting and then snack time??

Kourtney informed me today that I have boobies, and that she likes Tota better than the Honda.

After tucking the girls in bed, Kourtney swallowed a quarter (9pm ish). After about 45 minutes of first trying to get it out by hand then trying to get her to drink water to make it go down, Mommy took her to instacare. From there we were put in an ambulance to go to Primary's but the paramedic was concerned about the drive. So they took us to Pioneer. But Pioneer didn't have the pediatric staff to help her. So after xrays, iv, and meds, we were put in another ambulance to go to Primary's. After getting to Primary's they had to approve a procedure to get it out. At almost midnight they approved a procedure but needed to take another xray to make sure they knew exactly where it was, in case it moved. I picked her up to go to the xray, and she started pointing to her tummy. She had FINALLY swallowed the quarter!! Even though we went to instacare, 2 hospitals and 2 ambulance rides (all over one quarter) we didn't have to do the procedure! I'm just happy she's okay and that there was no serious damage. Just a sore throat the next day. Praise the good Lord above for protecting our Kourtney! Since we were ambulanced to the hospitals, we had to take a taxi home, which Kourtney thought was so awesome!

At soccer skills class. Playing a scrimmage. Kayla is running with a boy who has the ball. "I want the ball. Will you please give it to me?" She's so polite! :D
June 19th 2012
Kayla has been sleeping in our bed with a tummy ache and is throwing up, but she hasn't lost her personality! After throwing up a second time she announced "it taste like......pickles!" Then when I was helping her rinse out her mouth she was her normal chatty self. Saying things like, "if I have to throw up again, I'll run.......all the way to the toilet and throw up in there. If I miss that would be bad." and "if I throw up....a lot....I'll....(opens her mouth and sticks out her tongue) die!" Silly girl, still making jokes and making Momma laugh even when she isn't feeling well.

Kourtney starts Kenpo tonight with her Daddy!! :D
Kayla and I jumped on the trampoline in the rain, did a little mini yoga session and now we're watching Hook together. Love my kids SO SO much!!!

Our 5yo (Kourtney) just called me into the bathroom so I could smell her poop. Yeah.

Today was the JSKK 5.0 Utah Demo. Kollin's students did great! And Kourtney did so good too! She did Blocking Set and then Delayed Sword. Go white belt!! :)
September 1st 2012
Jumped on the trampoline in our pjs in the pouring rain. Watched a double rainbow form as the rain slowed down. Changed into dry pjs and now we're enjoying hot cocoa as my girls tell jokes and stories. Best way to spend a rain storm! Love making fun memories with my girls!!

Kourtney got scared of the thunder, lightning and rain storm last night (it was REALLY loud). Its the first time I've ever had to comfort a child like that during a storm. She was practically trying to wedge herself under me, between me and my bed, and squeezed tight every time there was a bright light or a loud boom. After the storm settled down, I told her that when the storm was over that she would need to go back to her bed (she does better if she has notice for something, rather than it just happening). She told me she didn't think it was going to be over until morning, then tried to scoot even closer, even though she was practically wedged between me and my bed. :)

Kourtney started Kindergarten today! She was a little hesitant to go in once they were forming lines, but didn't have any problems after that. After school, when I asked how her day was, she told me that she made friends with a girl with LONG braids. That's my social girl for you! :)
