Josh Groban!

Aren't we hot!

Chandra and I had purchased tickets months ago for the Josh Groban concert held this last weekend at the Key Arena. We were so stoked to be going! We went to a nice dinner at Azul's then dropped off Kai so we could go for a kid-free night with some spectacular music. We had pretty good seats and the show was AMAZING!!!!!! He is so great live; his voice is perfect. Also, his personality was a bit of a shock for me. He was funny and very comfortable. He interacted a lot with the audience giving people hugs and even talking on somebody's cell phone to their friend. His voice gave me goose bumps and I felt like the Spirit was present in his music (which is such a big plus in a world of music that drives the Spirit away). He is a must see!!

This pic isn't actually from the concert, I brought my crappy camera so I couldn't get any good shots. So this is actually what Josh looks like when you pay a lot to sit near the stage or pay a lot more and buy a telephoto lens and...

...these were the pics I took from our humble and much more reasonably priced seats. The top two are of him on the big screens on the sides of the stage.

Wild Waves

Jon, Josh and I took the kids to Wild Waves with the Higgins to attempt to enjoy a partly sunny day. It was just not warm enough for the boys to really enjoy the water park but they loved the "dry side" rides. They couldn't get enough of the car rides! Jon and Josh took them on a mini roller coaster which went surprisingly faster then any of us thought it would; after which we were unsuccessful in getting Clay to ride the big log ride. Maybe next time. Give us a couple more years and our boys will be dragging us behind them.

Merry-go-round. Yipee!

After Clay got off this ride he said, "I don't like that, I'm too tall to ride it".

This car is the world's slowest car ride...it just goes on and on and on...

The boys thought this ride was the greatest until they spotted the car ride.

We rode this one a few times.

The next King?

Funny Things my Kids Say

Eph: When we both grow up and live next to eachother maybe when your mother (wife) leaves and my mother (wife) leaves I can sneak up and go to your house and we can play. Clay: Adults don't play and it's not your mom it's your wife.
Mom: Ouch, my foot is really hurting! Kai: You're still alive Momma.
Kai and I were going back and forth with the,"I love you to the moon, I love you to the sun, etc." I said, "I love you to Venus" and Kai responded, "I love you to the penis"...LOL!
Clay: Ephraim, why do you always copy me? Ephraim: Because I love ya.
Kai was playing with his train the other day and I overheard him saying, "You can do it Thomas" and of course I was thinking Thomas the kid's engine, and then I heard him say, " You can do it, Thomas Monson"...LOL!
Kai always sleeps in my bed. One day I asked him why he didn't like his bed and he said,"It's too fluffy."
Whenever asked any question from "What is your name?" to "What do you want to do today?", Kai always responds with "Quesadilla".
Kai spent a couple months calling everyone "boob-butt" (boob was taken from the recent Horton Hears a Who movie).
When Kai wants to be picked up he says, "Grab me".
All my boys sing the song Paradise City by Guns N' Roses...embarassing.
When you ask Kai his name he says "Coc-head"- he means coconut head.
In between Conference sessions they played the movie "The Other side of Heaven" and during the scene where the rats are chewing on his feet Kai yells, "Wake up Dude!"
Ephraim says' That's ridiculous!"
When I ask Kai anything he shakes his head violently and says, "No-no!"
Clay told me that he was making funny faces in his class and that the girls were laughing. I asked him if the boys laughed too; he said, "no, they got mad". He told me he likes girls better then boys because they're "pretty". Oh boy!
Clay had some food stuck in his throat and I told him to drink some water to wash it down. He said, "I think I need to use a screw to get it out"- OUCH!
I told Clay that if he ate all his veggies he would be big and strong like his daddy. He said, " Well, that's not strong enough".
Clay turned to me after a meal and said, "Thanks for making dinner Mom". Then he turned to Jon and said, "Thanks, Dad". Jon responded a bit surprised, "What for, I didn't do anything?" Clay replied, "For working". WOW!
Josh came over and was checking out our pear tree in the front yard and Clay put his face up real close to him and said, "Jesus made the pears, Uncle Josh." Josh said he felt like he was in church! HA HA
Clay was being a stinker and I told him to "please be more obedient Clayton Ryan" and he responded, "I'm not Clayton I'm Nephi" and my mom told him that Nephi would be obedient to his parents. So, after some thought he replied, "Oh, I'm not Nephi".
When they don't like a food the boys say its too "spicy".
When something is too hard for the boys to do they say its too "heavy".
My boys both say, "I don't want that ever ever again, so there!"
Clay informed me the other day that he also liked Momma's milk (like baby Kai). I told him that he drank cow's milk like Mommy and Daddy and after a moments thought he said "No, I just drink seahorse milk!"
