Ruining My Day

Lily came home from preschool today and said,

"Those boys that I don't know were being mean
and ruining my day.
They ruined every girls' day.
They just don't like girls."

Where does she get this? I don't say that! It just made me laugh.

We also just got cool bunk beds
with the desk and drawers underneath.

Lily was so excited she told me,
"You made my heart happy.
You're my best mom in the whole world."

I think I'll keep her.

My apologies to Elton John...

A couple of weeks ago my family- along with brothers, sisters, cousins & grandma & grandpa, all went to St. George for the weekend (nice job planning it, Candi!). We were able to get great tickets to see Aida at the Tuacahn theater (thanks Steph!). I didn't know what Aida was about. I just knew that the several other plays that we've seen at Tuacahn were just incredible! So, I didn't even hesitate to buy tickets for it.
Then I see the posters for the play:

Elton John. Elton John?? Aw man. He's right up there with Neil Diamond for me. Blah Blah Blah!!! I can't stand either of them!
I would rather listen to sports radio than listen to them.

So with much trepidation, we go sit in our seats. The play starts. The music is... well, GREAT! I mean, as far as musicals and plays go,
I LOVED IT!!! We took all the kids, and boy, it had everyone covered. There were soldiers and fighting for the boys, there were princesses and love for the girls, and Megan just loved all the clapping after the songs. She got so excited when everyone clapped all the time. And, she especially loved the real live horses that pulled out a chariot on stage, and a camel that brought in a belly dancer. She was waving to them and clapping her little hands! I LOVE Tuacahn! It is an outdoor theater so they can do fantastic things. They even do Elton John well.

We had to go say Hi to the princesses...
Oh, and the captain of the guards, too. :)

We were also able to go visit Tim's grandma while we were down there. We haven't been to visit her in a long time, so it was so nice to see her.

She even let me take a picture of her.
She is such a sweet and giving grandma. We love you!

Preschool Diva

To say that Lily has been excited to start preschool would be a slight understatement. Okay, a HUGE understatement! She picked out her outfit. (We found the hot pink cowgirl boots for Halloween, but just HAD to wear them today... Love it!) She instructed me on how to do her hair. Grabbed the Barbie backpack, and we were off!!

Our neighbor & best friend, Hailee, is in the same class.
How lucky can you get?

This reminded me of Napolean Dynamite. I had to put it in.

So what did I do with just one child, you may ask? Megan & I actually went to the gym and I was able to stay for the entire yoga class without Megan making a scene in the nursery!!!
What a great day!
