Recent Correspondence..

My kids crack me up..

All the time..

They say the funniest stuff..

And they {especially Chelsea and Savannah} frequently write the funniest {and often clever} letters..

I decided I need to keep better track of these things..

And share them when appropriate..

This was written by Savannah a couple weeks ago, 

and left on the computer keyboard..

I love the "Chelsea this doesn't concern you. Not to be rude."

{do you think we have 2 moms at our house??}

By the way.. She STILL doesn't have "peirsed" ears..

{I know, I'm mean}

I also love that the 2nd time she spelled it, it was right..

[Just today, while she was working on homework, she told me she held up some of Chelsea's earrings, and they looked really, really good on her..]

I discovered this one on my pillow when I went to bed last night..

It then listed Savannah's cel phone number..

{yes, she has a cel phone}

It's actually Adi's baby [from NYC], and I thought it was so cute that Savannah was trying to help out..

{if you're wondering, Allison was in the laundry room.. in her stroller}

{now, I really want to post Chelsea's letter convincing us to get her a new car..}

The Week In Review

This has been a crazy week, and I just had to share the parts that were documented..

Tuesday, August 18th, Miss Adi had 3 teeth pulled!! {plus, she lost 1 about a month ago}

The girl has some serious crowding going on, so the dentist was making some room on the bottom..

Adeline's New Smile!!

Wednesday, August 19th, was the first day of school..

Savannah started 5th grade, and Adeline started 2nd..

They think they're so funny..

Savannah..

Adeline..

My darling girlies..

Chelsea and I attended Education Week at BYU {her first time!}..

We took a break and got pedicures..

..after looking at this, I've decided NOT to photograph my feet very often..

{can you guess whose is who's?}

Chelsea sneaking a drink in one of our classes..

They're pretty strict about no food or drink in classrooms..

{it SO cracked me up seeing her sit on the floor to take a sip..}

And then the perfect ending to our week.. 

This was on our way to our car Friday night..

What the heck???

Seriously, people.. This is BYU!!^^

{did you NOT notice you lost your pants?? - let alone SUIT pants!!}

{pretty sure we're supposed to keep our pants on on campus..}

Chelsea & I couldn't quit laughing about that one..

Sometimes life doesn't go as planned..

San Francisco Trip - August 14-16

Well, I'm sure you've all been DYING to hear about our anniversary trip, and wondering why on earth its taken me so long to post all the details!!

Let's just say we had some changes of plans while there..

We checked into our hotel at about 1:00 and all Davy wanted to do was take a nap.. We did eat lunch first (in the hotel's restaurant)

Then.. 1:45, nappy time for Davy {I didn't know at the time this would be the theme and trend for the weekend..}

I woke him up around 5:30, and we went and walked to Westfield Center mall, where I ate in the food court (he ate some yogurt)

Davy didn't feel much like looking around, so we walked over (at 6:30) to the Orpheum Theatre (even though our show didn't start until 8:00) 

{did I mention, the most terrifying area I've ever been in my life?? In the light, I was scared to death we were going to be mugged, attacked, murdered, etc..}

Davy in front of the Orpheum..

Wicked - LOVED it!!

We walked back to our hotel (luckily in a crowd, so I felt a bit safer) Davy popped some Nyquil and announced he would sleep in as long as he possibly could.. 

He did a GREAT job sleeping in.. Woke about 11:30.

We got on a trolley and went down to Pier 39 at Fisherman's Wharf..

We got to the end of the pier, and looked at Alcatraz..

We ate some delicious lunch..

{this picture is for Wendy - clam chowder - and it was heavenly}

Then we walked down to Ghiradelli Square..

We each had a divine sundae..

I hope you enjoyed those pathetic photos.. That was ALL we took (all from my phone, no less)

At this point Davy was miserable, so we took a cab back to the room.. {at like, 1:00}

He woke at 5:30, and informed me we were meeting Mark & Camille (one of his high school friends) at 6:00..

We walked over to Cheesecake Factory, {I know, nothing like authentic cuisine} and had a really fun time talking until about 9:30..

Camille offered to drive us around town, across the Golden Gate Bridge, etc., but Davy was worried about getting them and their kids sick, with being confined in their car.. So we headed back to the room..

He slept until 11:30, checkout was at 12:00..

We walked over to food court so I could eat lunch..

We got to the airport 2 1/2 hours before our flight..

Ya - it was as thrilling as it sounds..

Poor Davy feels so bad.. 

All I can say is I must have been experiencing some foreshadowing and brought along 2 books.. 

I'm not sure I've ever gone so long without using my voice..

{as an update, he still hasn't gone to work, and most likely has SWINE FLU}

{can't make this stuff up}

WitWatW??

{k.. Elissa isn't allowed to guess on this one!!}

[heehee]

It's Just the Way Those Little Brains Think..

{the Lockheed 5B Vega Amelia Earhart flew on her non-stop flight across the Atlantic}

So, Friday night we were in the car, and Savannah started asking questions about Amelia Earhart.. We discussed all the different ways she could have died: on impact, drowning, landing on an island and never being found and eventually dying, etc.. 

Savannah asked why they couldn't find her..

So Davy proceeded to tell her about how she had been in radio contact, so they knew basically where she was.. He also added that they knew in which direction she was going - to which Adi replied.. "DOWN??"

In Need of Travel Advice..

So - we're doing it again..

A little blind traveling..

Next weekend (August 14-16) Davy & I are heading to San Francisco.. 

Our only plan is going to see Wicked on the first night..

{now, I have been to SF quite a few times, but not since I was 15ish..}

Everyone did an excellent job with my NY trip - lets see how you do this time!! :)

Thanks!!
