I put Anna's hair in a ponytail today and I can't believe how old she looks. It's sad yet exciting to watch your kids grow up. I just wish she would act grown up enough to go to nursery by herself.
Anna tried corn on the cob for the first time tonight. She couldn't get enough of it. It was funny to watch her try and get it out of her teeth afterwards. She also got to floss for the first time tonight! A night of firsts!
BTW...You gotta love the hair! She gets it from her dad!
We had a BBQ at Casey and Kristin's tonight. It was a lot of fun to hang out with the family. Anna loved playing with Jayde in the pool. Those two are going to be great pals when they get older.
We had a great 4th of July...Much better than last year (they didn't really celebrate it much in the Bahamas). We got up and went to the Provo parade. We didn't last very long because it was so hot. So we headed to the Johnson's and jumped in the pool and spent the rest of the day there. That night we headed to the temple grounds to watch the "Stadium of Fire" fireworks. They were so much better than I remembered. Anna was mesmerized by them. She just kept pointing at them and saying "oohh!". But the biggest hits of the night were the bubble machineand the glow sticks. I guess we are heading to Target tomorrow.
08/21/11 - During Sacrament Mtg I told Sara that she needed to be quiet. She looked at me and said, "That's impossible!"

11/10 The missionaries went around and asked everyone what they were thankful for. Anna said her family. Sara answers...Puppy Cartoons.
11/10 Rob and I were pretend fighting. I looked at Anna and said, "Why doesn't daddy like me anymore?" Her reply, "Probably because you have brown hair."
11/10 After cleaning and setting up Christmas all day I looked at Rob and asked him how bad I looked. Anna looked at me and said, "You look like a mom!"
06/10 Sara calls Tinkerbell "Belly Saucer". Don't have a clue why!
4/10 - Anna at 7:00 in the morning. "Aunt Kassi, we're not supposed to eat humans, it's not good. But dinosaurs can."
04/04/10 After looking at her stash from the Easter Bunny she grabbed her socks and said, "Look mom! The Easter Bunny laid some socks for me!".
03/10 Anna came running in and said, "Mom, big hairy dogs make me laugh!" As opposed to the small hairless ones?
02/10 We were playing baseball on the Wii. It was Anna's turn to pitch the ball. After waiting about two minutes, I told her to throw the ball. She looked at me and said, "But mom! You have to scratch yourself first!". Where did she hear that?
1/20/10 Anna, in a very disappointed voice, "Mom...I can't scratch my neck with my feet!"
2009 "Dad, your swords are hurting me!" Anna after Rob gave her a hug with a five o' clock shadow.
2009 "Mom! My feathers are getting longer!" Anna, while examining her arm hair.
11/12/09 "Mom at church when we sing I get to be a Rock Star!". What songs are they teaching in Primary these days?
11/09 Sara hasn't figured out the names of all of the animals and has made some up. She calls horses "yee haws" and pigs are "eieioh".
5/09 As we drove into Home Depot the other day, Anna started jumping up and down in her seat, exclaiming "We're at Home Depot...It's daddies favorite!"
03/09 - Sara has started giving kisses, especially to her baby dolls. She puts her mouth up to them and then clicks her tongue. I guess that is her version of a smack!
2/18/09 - The sun was setting as we were driving home from ballet and Anna exlaimed, "Look Mom...The sun is melting!".
Everytime Rob drives over the warning bumps on the road (to alert you that you are about to drive off the road) Anna says to Rob, "Excuse you Daddy!". She thinks she is so funny!
On the same St George trip she was watching one of the Pink Panther cartoons. In the cartoon he was playing with his tail a lot. All was silent when she suddenly said "Mom....Do you have a tail too?"
1/18/09 After we told Anna that we were going to St George she told everyone she met that we were going to Curious George.
12/08 When Anna was sick Rob and our neighbor were about to give her a blessing. She was a little apprehensive, so Rob explained that they were going to say a special prayer to help her feel better. After the blessing Anna jumped out of the chair, flung her arms around me and exclaimed "I'm all better now!". Oh, the faith of the children!
1/11/09 Anna started attending Primary. During Sharing time they were talking about choices and the example that the teacher used was sometimes you can chose between cereal or pancakes for breakfast. Anna raised her hand and announced "My mom likes to eat cupcakes for breakfast!".
