Thoughts by Emmett

Em: Mom, I know that boys who marry boys are called gay. But, what are girls who marry girls?
Me: Lesbians. Why do you ask?
Em: Well, E. wants to marry S. and they are both girls. They are lesbians.
Me: (oh great...now I am going to get a call from his teacher...) Do you think you will marry a boy or a girl?
Em: Hmmmm. Probably a girl. But she BETTER like underwater robots!!!

This is going to be told at his wedding.

Poetry by Augi

My big monster

By augi

My monster is big,

And he looks like a pig,

He likes to do the jig,

But he wears a wig,

And eats a fig,

On a twig,

he puts cheese,

On the keys.

he has a pet mouse,

That lives in his big toy house,

In winter ,

He takes out his small printer,

But he always gets a splinter,

He cant talk,

But he can walk,

My monster has a pet dove,

And he gives him so much love,

And he knows how to sew,

A bow,

That looks like a toe.

Phiz is 1!

My little Phizzer Whizzer is finally 1! I like one much better than brand new puppy.

Phiz as a puppy: Tazmanian Devil.

Phiz as a one year old: see for yourself...

Augi's birthday sleepover.

It should be called a not-sleep-over instead. 8 girls for an 8 year old party. Ya, I've gone completely bonkers.

They laughed.

They gossiped.

They argued.

They played games.

They began falling asleep around 11 (Augi).

They were all asleep by 2.

Even Em and Phiz were allowed to participate.

Nine for Nine next year? I don't think so.

First Day of School 2013

Another first day of school!

Augi has started Year 4. Her teacher is adorable...and AMERICAN! Woo-woo! Augi would like to keep our citizenship status on the down-low, though. She gets mad at me when I speak and let people know we are Americans. Goofy kid. It is hard to be different, I guess.

Emmett is too grown up. They have DESKS in his Year 1 class. I still haven't worked out who he sits next to. I am not allowed to ask. Not only did he start school this week, he has slept in his own bed for 5 nights in a row.

I am WAY more sad than he is. He was just waiting to sleep on his own until he knew I was ready. I'll be alright. *sniff*

Utah 2013: Last Pics and Last Thoughts.

Nearly finished. If you have survived all of these posts, you will earn a prize. Not really. You get nothin'.
Visiting at the Singleton's. This is what we miss the most. Not going to amusement parks, shopping, and restaurants. Just hanging out with our loved ones. I miss you all already.

What a fun time we had. It was an exhausting, emotional trip. I wanted to stay and I wanted to run home to England at the same time. I wish I had gotten the chance to see every person on my list. I wish I'd gotten more pictures of everyone...
We won't go nearly 3 years without visiting next time!
