Weekend in Review & Little Boy Comedy...

This past weekend I left my boys and headed out with my girls (and the littlest lady of the tribe) to the opposite end of the state for our annual home show get away.  It was lovely... 76 degrees lovely!

(I know, I know... mass apologies to the entire east coast for that bit of salt in your gaping wounds)

I missed my little rowdies for sure, but there is something kind of "Balm of Gilead" about hanging with the ladies of your life.

Here are a few of my "Home Show Highlights"...

The reel would have been longer but I was also holding Emeri some of the time and keeping myself from testing out the pools the rest of the time.

It's a good thing there wasn't an outdoor shower at the homes I visited this year, or there would have been some indecent exposure.  No joke, that's kinda all I want in life... a rad pool and an outdoor shower.  Sa-weet.  :)

 Also of note is the fact that my boys went to the Monster Truck jam on Valentine's day.  They loved it.  I've heard several times now which monster trucks are better than others and why and that if I'm a "really good girl" maybe Daddy will take me to see the Monster Trucks.  A girl can only dream.  :)    

And a few candid shots with this week's greatest lines, because we all know I love me some of those...

And this little troop produces the best of the best on the regular...

 This is called "Kael's Kamikaze Breakfast".  He's a wild one.  Every cereal we have at present must be put in his bowl every morning.  Variety is the spice of life for this dude, apparently.

The other day Kael thoughtfully told me...

"Mom I really really want to shoot a buffalo.  I need a tag, right?"

"Yep, Bud... You'll need a tag to be legal."

To which he replied,

"I know how to get a tag, Mom... 

I just need to go to Costco with you and get one off of new pants or a new shirt!"

Dax gave a talk in primary a couple weeks ago.  The day before his oration we practiced, and then he said,  "Am I saying my talk in 'Soccer-ment' or Primary?"

:)

Also, his love for Ninja Turtles continues to abound... he told me last week:

 "My favorite Ninja Turtle is 'Mickey and Jello' or 'Ry-F-L'..."

And for those of you who don't speak fluent Ninja Turtle, let me translate,

Michaelangelo or Rafael are his fave fighter dudes.

And lastly, let me tell you about Ace Face who has said for months and has never been corrected by anyone in this house for obvious reasons, 

"To Infinity... and BE GONE!"

Someone should have taught Buzz Lightyear how to really say it!

I hope he never ever learns the truth.
