Go Cougs!

We decided today to visit Utah yet once again. My sister is in Suessical the Musical at the Scera so we'll get to see her show. AND as luck would have it, that same weekend (Oct. 11th) is BYU's homecoming football game against New Mexico Lobos!! Mark and I will get to wear our true blue while Kendra will sport her Lobo cheerleader outfit! (By the way, everything down here is English and Spanish, so for those of you who don't habla espanol Lobo is spanish for wolf). We're excited to get to go to another game at BYU.

When we drove through Utah in July we didn't have much time and we were rushed. We wanted to see our professors, spend more time at temple square, and go to Thanksgiving point. Plus I wanted to eat at Brick Oven. So, now we'll get to do that!

Just Quarantine Us Already!

So on Wednesday Mark came home and just fell on the couch. That's not a good sign - he's never done that. "Kristi I don't feel good." Great, my entire family is sick! He finally went to the doctor today and got an antibiotic. I just hope the cycle will stop now. Mark was sick a month ago, then passed it on and it's going back around. It started early for us this year. Last year it didn't begin until late October. It didn't end until April. Let's hope we'll be healthier this time around!

Who taught her that?!?!

Kendra and I have watched way too many movies over the past two weeks. I think she is learning new vocabulary from them. One day she said, "Oh my gosh!" Mark and I don't say that and it took me forever to figure out where she got it from - The Little Mermaid. We play a game where she sits on the couch and then I sit on her and she pushes me off, she thinks it's loads of fun. So as I sat on her today she said, "mommy you're too fat!" I still haven't figured out where she learned fat from. I need to be more careful with my impressionable daughter.

I have bugged Mark for years to take me to Disneyland. He is finally okay with going. My brother just went with his family and I talked to him to get a perspective with a young child. He told me that Disneyland is an extremely over stimulating place and asked if Kendra with her SPD would be okay with that. Out of my excitement to go I had forgotten about Kendra's SPD!!! I'm not sure how she'd take it. I thought the beach would be a great sensory experience for her, but maybe Disneyland would be the ultimate!

Kendra loves to talk on the phone especially to her aunt Shoni.
