Mommy was telling Carly a bedtime story about a family of baby kittens. (Carly loves stories about baby animals.) After the story was over Carly told me, “I just want to kiss those kitties all over. I wish I was in that story so I could kiss the kittens!” She is SO passionate!

Carly: “Hey Dad, I got a rhyme for ya! -
Please don’t sneeze,
Dance from your knees.”

“I not! [I didn’t do it!]”

What we've been up to...
My neighbor, Elsa, invited me to go to the Elementary school with her for the end of the year program that the kids put on. This is Joselynn and Jose’s Guinea Pig, Fatty (Gordito), wearing a sombrero at the school.
Our neighbor, Jose, is the one in the orange shirt. Although only 11 years old, Jose is full of wisdom. The other day Aaron and I went on a date and Jose was in the front yard as we were getting in the car. Jose looked at Aaron and said, “You’re going on a date like that?! No! You need to take your hat off and do your hair and wear some different shoes.” I thought it was so funny to have Aaron get dating advice from an 11 year old!
Joselynn, his little sister, came over the other day and read books to Carly and Ellie – they are such nice neighbors.
Joselynn is also a great beautician. I couldn’t believe Ellie let her do five braids in her hair – it was so cute!

This Monday was John Huntsman Sr. Day at Heritage Park in Salt Lake. Which means we got in for free ($20 discount).
Heritage Park is where the “This is the Place” monument is. They have a whole pioneer village there with different pioneer homes and shops to tour around. They have a petting farm, pony rides, train rides, and covered wagon rides.

And because it was John Huntsman day everyone got a free ice cream cone too. THANK YOU JOHN HUNTSMAN! My friend Andrea (from my ward) told me about it, so Steph and I went with her and her husband and their two boys, Brock and Scott (they are Carly and Ellie’s age).
Carly told me that she thinks Brock is handsome and that she will marry him. I’m glad she is finally making some friends here.
A sweet moment when Carly and Ellie are being so lovey-dovey with each other.
