This week Tom and I have been "off line". We are not watching TV or doing too much on the internet. Tom thinks I am kinda funny for getting on the computer to tell people we are offline. No, I just had to write down these fun little conversations before I forgot. Tonight I took more time to lay by Katie and Kellen, something I should do a lot more often.
Conversation with Katie:
Katie said at dinner time that she said she wasn't sure if Heavenly Father and Jesus were real. We talked about how we all question their existence once in a while. She and I had a little talk about how the only way to know for sure is to pray about it. She said it worked. Good.
Trevor: not a "school girl" crush, the class bully. She wanted to know how to deal with a bully. He really is a mean little kid and pushes everyone around. I told her to ignore him but that I had no problem with her sticking up for herself. Little does he know, Katie is a scrapper and is a green belt with white stripe in karate. I was about to tell her to just one day misuse her karate and chop Trevor in the leg or something. I refrained.
Conversation with Kellen:
We were just laying there silently and then Kellen told me he had something really important to tell me.
me: I am listening
Kellen: I really like my name.
me: good! I wanted a really cool name for a really handsome little boy.
Kellen: (laugh). You know that boy that lives by Reaghan named Kellen?
me: Yep. In fact, I loved his name so much that we named you Kellen after him.
Kellen: Oh, that's cool!!
silence....
Kellen: Mom, you know that is really hard to hug a dog.
me: (laugh!) True.
Kellen: I tried to give Darcy (my sister's dog) a hug and he was too squirmy. He didn't want my hug.
me: yeah, some dogs don't like hugs.
Kellen: yeah.
Who knew Mickey Mouse would waiting for us at the ballpark.
Look at the amount of people! This was at the beginning of the fan fest. There were a lot more people when we left.
The kids and Baxter. Too cute!
There were a couple of slides and toys for the kids to play on. Here they are sliding down the sharks mouth.
If you look closely at Katie's right hand ring finger you will see that she is wearing a world series championship ring. It was so heavy! Ken Kendrick (something like that) was signing autographs and letting people try on the ring for fun. 
Here comes Katie!
As we were walking from the ball park to the Science Center we stopped at the Rosson house. Someday I am going to take a tour of the inside. Anyway, we made Valentines cards and had free cup cakes to celebrate Arizona's birthday. 
Kellen built a lovely house.
Katie built an awesome tower.
I think Kellen is conducting electricity here. 
We got to play a large piano. I felt like we were in the movie BIG for just a minute. Tom played a beautiful rendition of Chop Sticks. I tried to play heart and soul but the kids kept interrupting my song. 
Katie's hair for Valentines Day. She wanted at least four hearts in her hair. Well, here ya go, four hearts!
One night Katie and Kellen slept in a box. Here they are enjoying breakfast in the box.
The box. They are in there sleeping. Looks comfy, right?!
We recently went to the zoo and I forgot to put them on the blog. Oops! Oh, how do you like the double pictures? I will take one off at some point. I am too lazy to mess with it right now. It is not erasing easily right now. Go figure.
Can you see the elephant?
Kellen is practicing his cow milking skills.
Our friend Tallie came to the zoo with us. We all had a great time.
This is Katie's old piano teacher. Katie played The Stallion during her recital. She rocked it! 
No post would be complete without cousin Brielle. Here is one of her newborn shots. She looks so peaceful and happy. Too bad we kept messing with her and waking her up.
