Carnivals and Crushes.

So apparently there is a boy in preschool named Conner. Kate has told both me and Troy she wants to marry him.  Monday I spoke to a woman who was his grandma.  As soon as I said I was Kate's mom she said oh Conner is in love with Kate. I laughed so hard. It was mutual. But it gets better. Conner is saving for a diamond for Kate.  He told his mom he needed to get Kate a diamond. As he looked at his mom's ring he said it was too small and Kate needed a big diamond.  How the heck does a four year old know about diamonds. 

What do you do?

Kate is pretty stubborn, everything and anything must be her idea. There is often bargains and deals being made when asked to do anything. Well doing cute girl hair is so never going to be my future unless she decides it.  I have to beg to comb her hair or curl it for church. Last Friday Kate came home looking like this.  I was SO jealous.  

Hair at the Fair

For a girl who doesn't let her mom, touch her hair I was shocked to see this when she came home from the School Fair.

NAUGHTY

First Day of School!

Paddle Surfing

On Labor day we had ourselves a new family adventure. We went to Jordanelle Reservior and tried paddle surfing. It was so much fun. Imagine a flat Kyak you stand on and then you use a long paddle to move around. Kate climbed on the front of my board and had a blast. Sometimes she sat there other times she tried standing up. She did great. There was a rope she could hold onto to help her feel secure. She also got a big stick to help paddle. We did it for about an hour. I wish we could of taken our family picture out there it was awesome.

After that we went to the beach and had snacks and played in the the water. It was a nice cool cloudy day. Jordanelle has lots of camping and picnic areas with cabanas and grass. We will be going back again.

You can see what paddle board surfing looks like from the people in the last picture.
