Out of the mouth of a First Grader!!!

In the above we have a self portrait and what she likes. In case you can't read it clearly it states,

When I look in the mirror I see someone who. . .

thet liKes Dricing (drinking)

and likes

Geesis. (Jesus)

Now the teacher added water to the drinking part. Hopefully she sat down and questioned Marisa enough to get that she liked drinking WATER!!! What kind of family does she think we are???? Oh the stories her teachers could tell!!! If you know any feel free to share??? On second thought I don't think I want to know. Just chalk it up to being a first grader!!

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 BLAST OFF!!!

Rockets have come a long way since I was a kid. No explosives necessary!!! Just a few pumps of this little bike pump and they are off! This rocket must have gone at least 600 feet into the air. It was so fun to watch it and try and find it in the sky. One landed on the awning of the school. Lucky Jeff was there so he could hoist one of the kids up on the roof to get it!

AND SHE IS UP AFTER 14 YEARS

What a beautiful day!!! Grandma and Grandpa took us to Hyrum Dam to go boating!! The water was a little cool but the weather was absolutely beautiful!!!! The kids had a blast out on the tube and I can't believe after 14 years I dared water ski. I wasn't very good back then but somehow managed to do a little better now!!! Age and maturity I guess, I've certainly got both!!

SAY, SAY OH PLAY MATE. . .

Have you ever seen a tree with a house in it? Well this is the tree house of all tree houses!!! Opening doors and windows. A loft inside. Complete with a zip line and everything! During our family reunion this summer all the kids and grand kids and of course Grandpa Boyce got busy building up the best tree house ever!!!! It all started last year when we visited for Thanksgiving and the kids spent their "whole entire" days outside (as Marisa would say it) making their own makeshift tree house with sticks and branches etc. Right there and then Grandpa formulated a plan to make a real tree house with "plans" and everything!! Here is the final result!!! Pretty fun if you ask me!!!

2 MORE REASONS FOR NEUTERING!!!

HOOK, LINE & SINKER

YEP, GONE FISHING!!!

Note on the funny side~ Marisa was the first one up and dressed, and headed out to Grandma and Grandpa's trampoline. Jeff went out to fire up the grill and she yells out "Early Bird get the worm!" The rest of the day she just kept repeating it. At one point after the parade we were walking to the car and she was looking all around in the gutter at the water going by and I said, "Marisa, what are you doing?" she says she's looking for a worm, "The Early Bird gets the worm!" she repeats again. On the long car ride home she recites it a few more times. I think Hannah has had about enough of it by this time and she says, "Yeah but the late bird gets her beauty sleep!" That was the end of the EARLY BIRD for a while!!!
