Fin Fun Mermaid Tails

I just saw the cutest thing ever on a blog I really like. You can buy a mermail tail for your daughter to swim in! They are awesome! I registered for a chance to win in a drawing they're having. If you're interested in getting one, you can "like" Fin Fun Mermaid Tails on Facebook, where you'll find all their ordering information. Seriously, I wish someone had made those when I was a kid!

My Favorite Family Quotes

June 5, 2011
Hallie, while jumping on the tramp while I sat on it:
"Mom, see the moon. It's a little sliver just like the beginning of movies when a boy fishes from it!"
A few minutes later: "I want to go to the moon!"
Me:"Fly there in a rocket?"
Hallie:"No! Jump there from the trampoline!"
Me:"You want to jump clear up to the moon and back?"
Hallie, thoughtfully:"That could never really happen."

Hallie, while looking ahead at the next week's weather forecast after a week of rain everyday:

"2 sunny days, then all the rest rain?! If I was the weatherman I would take out the rain and change it to 10 Summer Days!"

Me: "Hallie, where do you want to go on a mission?"

Hallie: "To Disneyland!"

Me: "That sounds so fun! But missionaries can't go to Disneyland. Where else would you like to go? "

Hallie: "I don't want to go on a mission now."

Upon the arrival of my girls passports in the mail, I made the joke that I am now feeling left out and sorry for myself (I don't even have a passport!). When asked why, I replied that it's because I don't ever go anywhere! Cade then said, "Yes you do mom! You went to BYU with Hallie!" (To register for Women's Conference.) Hallie then said from the other room, "You went to Cedar City!" (For my brother's graduation yesterday.) It made me cry how much they love me and want to make sure I know how lucky I am that I "go" so many places.

Hallie: "What are we having for dinner?"

Me: "Dad's homemade spaghetti."

Hallie: "Good! 'Cause if it's spaghetti from a can I'm NOT eating it!"

**NOTE ~ This child has never been fed, or even seen spaghetti from a can! :)

Cade: "Austin! I'm starting to get those little red dots like you have all over your face! But I'm getting them on my knee. Not my hurt knee, the other one!"

(The dots are a from jumping on the trampoline!) Cute
