Kid Tag



I saw this on Melissa's blog and I thought it was cute. I was just going to ask Emma and once the other kids heard me asking Emma questions they wanted in on it too. I was surprised with some of their answers.

1.What does mom always say to you?

Karlie: I love you
Ethan: Clean your room
Emma: Eat your food

2. What makes mom happy?

Karlie: When we make breakfast for you.
Ethan: Make breakfast for you.
Emma: When I make something

3. What makes mom sad?

Karlie: When I don’t give you a hug after school.
Ethan: Not clean my room
Emma: When I don’t help

4. How does mom make you laugh?"

Karlie: When you fart (What is she talking about. Girls don't do that).
Ethan: When you tickle me
Emma: When she smiles

5. How old is mom?

Karlie: 29
Ethan: 90 oh wait... counting out loud up to 29.( I think he could tell by the look on my face with the reaction of 90).
Emma: 16

6. How tall is mom?

Karlie 6 to 7 feet
Ethan: 8 feet
Emma: Real big

7. What does mom like to do?

Karlie: Go on dates with dad
Ethan: Like to play and have fun with each other.
Emma: Help somebody

8. What is mom's job?

Karlie: Taking care of us.
Ethan: To do studies. To look out for each other.
Emma: Help everybody do homework and help clean my room.

9. What is mom's favorite food?

Karlie: Pizza
Ethan: Grapes
Emma: Chinese

10. How do you know your mom loves you?

Karlie: Gives hugs and kisses and takes care of us a lot
Ethan: When she plays with me.
Emma: Like this giving me hug and a kiss

After asking Emma questions Emma said, "Mom why you ask all these questions. No more questions".

I tag anyone who wants to do this...kids or no kids.

A Much Needed Getaway

I went to a cabin up by Kamas last weekend and there ended up being 16 girls at the start of this awesome little getaway. I wish I got a picture Friday night with all 16 girls. Some girls left early so I don't have pictures of the whole group together. I haven't done a "girls night out", staying over a night or let alone a weekend, for about ten years. I realized I need to have "girls night out" more often. Thanks to Kent and all the husbands for making this happen. I heard the guys had a party of there own.





This is the group that stayed until Saturday afternoon.




I had to take a picture of this cute Cowboy guy. It reminded me a lot of my dad for some reason. I guess, because he is a cowboy and loves his horses.




This is a picture of our hike.







Michelle and Carrie having a "Teeter Totter Moment".




We hopped a couple of fences on another hike that we went on. We saw a big heard of deer, but I couldn't get my camera out fast enough to take a picture of them.






What's a party without junk food. We ate and ate....




Rebecca might kill me for posting this picture, but we were laughing at how big this sandwich was.




There you have it "Bon Appetit".

When I got home I thought I would be ornery from staying up until 3:30-4:00A.M. each night, but as soon as I got home it was nice to hear happy cheerful "Hi Mom, we missed you". How could you be ornery after hearing all that. The kids even drew cards and pictures for me and set out flowers. Kent even cleaned the house while I was gone. Maybe I should leave more often on these girl outings:) JK Kent. LOL. It was fun.
