Visiting the Puppers

Jenny and Johnny came with us to see the puppers!! They were sooooo cute!!

Becker Business

-Grant said he was allergic to cats. Trent asked if he knew what that meant? Grant replied, "Yeah, it means you hate them!" Trent told him, "No your eyes water and you itch and you have a hard time breathing like mom!" Grant said, "Oh guess I am not allergic!"
**
-Grant asked, "Mom would prefer a burned house or wet house?" Truly this is my kind of game! I kind of hope Grant is entering the chose a or b of a crazy situation stage!!
**
-Trent was getting upset as we drove to Jen's house because he could hear the wind. Blake said in the cutest voice, "Trent don't be afraid, there is no hurricane, don't be afraid of the wind. It's ok!"
**
-Cats have been getting in our shed! This terrifies Grant and gives Blake something to talk about constantly!! "Mom there was a cat and dog in the shed and the dog the slapped the cat across the face!"
**
-Lydia sneezed, a good wet one, and it got on Blake and ticked him off. I said, "Bless you Lydia." Blake said, "She bless you'd on my leg!"
**
-Blake ate a sour gummy worm from Tyson's party. He said, "This is making me smile, see . . . " he showed me as he crinkled his nose and did a huge smile was squinted eyes!
**
-Me "Blake do you want some smoothie?" Blake "No I am having chocolate milk, thank you anyway though!"

Vacation Details

-Kids were awesome in the car!!!
**
-Blake calls Donald Duck "Quack Quack" and Pluto "Plato!"
**
-At dinner in Goofy's Kitchen Blake saw Minnie walk by down below our area. He was standing on a chair and got so excited everyone around us was cracking up! Then he yelled "Minnie I need you!!!"
**
-Lydia was terrified of Goofy! I didn't realize she was old enough to react that way!
**
-The rain was hard!
**
-The rain in Glendale washing down the gutters reminded me of when my mom was little and she was crossing the street in the rain and got taken by the running water down a block or so! Seeing this rain ripping down the gutters in Glendale you could see how that happened!!
**
-Blake got his turn to see Lightening and Mater and we about died! He walked around them and looked and asked if he could touch! It was the cutest thing I have ever seen! Other kids jumped in there for a picture, but Blake was visiting them and taking it all in!!!
**
-Blake loved Autopia, Grant loved Aladdin, Trent loved Soaring over CA!!
**
-My Grandma Gardiner gave me some Little People, View Masters and a rocking chair! I was THRILLED!!! I love them all and cannot believe I am so lucky!! While visiting Grandma G I wanted the boys to see her cellar! We thought it was so cool and spooky as kids! My mom said as a child she played for countless hours down there in the dirt under the house! (We would only go on the cement part as kids!) When we got home to Lehi, we were doing the View Master Projector in the boy's room and Trent said, "I wonder if Grandma did this alot down in the dirt?" **
-Grandma and Grandpa, Jenny and Johnny joined us on Monday at Disneyland! It was a BLAST!! We were so glad they came!! Dominique, Ryan and Brooke joined us on Wednesday! How wonderful it was to see them!!!
-We let each kid pick a treat: Trent Indiana Jones pack, Grant: race car track, Blake: Mickey light up sword multi-colored.
