The Adventures of Amie

Last Saturday at Wines park in Lehi we were waiting for Emmie's dance team to preform. Having some time to kill the kids wanted to climb the Rock Wall. unfortunately for them they weren't old enough. The National Guard guy who was running the booth asked Amie and I if we wanted to climb the wall. I declined and thought Amie would follow suit....Oh how wrong I was!

She passed Lexie to me and up she went. 1 minute and 26 seconds later she was at the top with a big smile on her face looking down at a very proud family.

Who knew that we had such an adventurer on our hands? First the Ragnar. Then the Rock Wall. What's next? Sky Diving perhaps? What ever it is I bet it's spectacular!

The Things Kids Say (Part II)

Saturday Logan and Landon were with my Mom and Dad driving to our house when Logan asked how the cows were doing (for those of you who don't know a few of us bought steers to slaughter for food storage). Not wanting to hurt the feelings of the boys by telling them we were going to kill and eat them, he said they were doing good but soon they would be in the freezer. Of course the boys wanted to know how we were going to get them into the freezer and "wouldn't they be cold?" and things like that. So Grandpa said we were going to have them killed. Logan's reply was "You mean you're going to shoot them in the head so we can eat them?"

"Yes Logan. And we will have hamburger and roast and steak to eat." said Grandpa.

"MMMM. I could go for a steak right abot now." Logan replied.

Note to Grandpa: The boys know about killing and eating animals and love to talk about the subject. No need to dance around the circle of life subject with our kids. :>) Now I'm hungry.
