Stawberry Cabin with the Sorensens - October 17/18, 2008

October 17, 2008 - We headed up to the cabin with the Sorensen's for a fun couple of days. Below, Jeremy, Ethan, Kylee, Austin, and Aniston took a trip on Grandpa Ed's Trax machine.

October 18, 2008 - Ethan and Aniston had a great time playing on Grandpa Ed's tractors.

We went on several "adventures" looking for "treasures." Some of the treasures we found included rocks, leaves, feathers, 2004 coins, and various other items.

Aunt Kylee and Grandma Annie put together a special "surprise" bag for Ethan and Aniston. After every meal they got a special present if they ate all their food. Aniston's crown was one of the her favorite gifts.

Our cute girls...

I have so many fun memories of my Dad taking me and the other cousins on "adventures" when we took our annual trip down to Lake Powell. I found myself in that role as Ethan, Aniston, and I went exploring the animal holes to find, talk to, and feed the bunnies. It was so fun to see them throw rocks and weeds into the animal holes so the bunnies wouldn't be hungry.

Words of Wisdom

Tylar was intrigued with Siri's "pelican" after she was born. Pelican = Umbilical cord
During Christmas time Tylar began to end her prayers "In the name of baby Jesus Christ, amen."
While reading scritures before bed, Aniston asked, "Why were Laman and Lemuel mean?" Daddy replied, "Because they hit and said bad things." Aniston thought about that and asked, "Potty talk?" Daddy chuckled. Aniston quickly reprimanded him by saying, "Potty talk is not funny!" At that point, Daddy completely lost it and Aniston started to giggle too. **Lesson: Sometimes potty talk IS funny!
"I went on a bus to see Jesus." Yes, these are the exact words that came out of Aniston's mouth as we passed a school bus. I wasn't sure exactly what she meant so I asked, "What?" She replied, "I went on a bus to see Jesus, but he wasn't there"......It took me a moment to realize what she meant. When we went to the Draper temple open house, we did indeed take a bus up to the temple....amazing! Not wanting to miss out on a great teaching moment I explained that the temple is Jesus' house and he was there, but we just didn't see him. She thought about that for a moment and said, "Yeah." (April 2009)
*** While Austin was singing a beautiful rendition of "Oh Aniston" from the living room, Aniston called from the bathroom while going potty, "Stop singing! I need some privacy!" (October 2008)
*** I was not in the mood to make a gourmet meal for dinner, so I went for pancakes and fruit. While we were eating Aniston got a particularly sour green apple and said, "This dinner is disgusting!" Austin replied, "It's not disgusting, it's fantastic!" Aniston shot back, "It's not fantastic!" Austin asked, "Well, what would you call it?" Without a moment's hesitation Aniston announced, "Skunk poop!" (October 2008)
