During family music time, Mollen pokes Sloan in the eye with her bow.
Sloan: Ummm... OOOWW!
Mollen: Oh! I'm so sorry! I was just trying to pick my nose!

And another

"I NEEEEEEED MOOOOOOMMMMYYYYYY!!!"
"Mommy's not here."
"I NEED DAAAAAADDY!!!"
"Daddy is out getting you ice cream. Do you like ice cream?"
" NOOO! GAGEY NOT LIKE ICE CREAM! WHHHHAAA! *Sniff* *Sniff* I'm all better! Gagey yes like ice cream."

Another conversation

"I hurt my wrist when I fell."
"Did you fall down he stairs?"
"No. I fell up the stairs."
"Is that even..."
"Yes, it's possible."

A quote from the Beselt house

Sloan: Y'know why I am laughing?
Charter: Why?
Sloan: Cuz you're going to get beat up as soon as I finish my juice. (Sips juice)

Ummm... yeah... BTW, I don't know what happened with the last of Sloan's juice, cuz Charter's face is still whole... ;)

And: I AM A COUSIN FOR THE 18TH TIME! WELCOME TO THE WORLD BABY EVA!

The next day was a Sunday... We played in the pool all morning and enjoyed nachos for lunch at the poolside... In the afternoon we went to Wal-mart to stock up our fridge... Because, y'know... You can't eat nachos from the poolside at everymeal for a week... (Although, I don't think I would have gotten tired of that guacamoli... SOO YUMMY!)

This is the view from our room:

Me and the girls' orange toes chillin' in the pool:

And yesterday I forgot to say: Right outside of Palm Springs there is this giant wind farm:

We had a bet on how many individual wind mills there were; Dad looked it up online and I won! My guess was 3500, and the correct answer was 4000! I was going to make all of you guess, but that wouldn't be fair because my pic only show so much of it...

Thats all for today because don't have alot of time, but hopefully I'll post tomorrow!

Almost a month... Well... Thats rather sad... I wrote last during VBS... So today we shall talk about what happened the days following VBS... CALIFORNIA BABY!

So, on Friday after VBS and lunch at the church, we headed out... It was about 3.5 hours to the boarder... Then we waited for about half hour/45 minutes before entering our first state... Montana... As we crossed from Alberta into Montana Charter farted... "Ahh, that felt good... My first American fart!" Then we opened the windows and breathed American air instead of American farts...

From Montana we crossed into Idaho where we spent our first night... We were only at the hotel between the hours of 1am and 8am... Before we crossed the boarder into Utah, I took the most amazing-est picture ever... Thing is, I didn't even know it was so good until I looked at it afterwards:

Since we didn't stop too much, almost all of my state pics are taken out of the car window... As I tried to take a picture of a mountain in Idaho, Ephraims sleeping baby face was reflecting on the window... Doesn't it look photo-shopped or something?

After Idaho we crossed into Utah... and the kids sat on what appeared to be a large rocking chair...

Now, here is where the story starts to get interesting... While we thought we would soon be crossing into Nevada... A surprise awaited us... We drove past a "Welcome to Arizona" sign! Who know we had to cross through a 1/2 hour of Arizona? NOT US!

See? Even Ephraim thought it was funny!

After Arizona we finally did get to Nevada... When we stopped in Las Vegas for gas, we were sure surprised at the heat! All us little Canadian kids didn't know what to do in such weather! Wehn we jumped out of the van, my first thought was, 'good thing our resort has a pool!'

By the time we got to the resort in Cali, my Camera had died so I couldn't take any pics till the next day... Too bad... The resort looked so pretty with the lit up palm trees along the drive way!

That night we had tacos for supper in our hotel room before a great nights sleep and a fun but full week!

To be continued...

VBS was...

Pretty much awesome... (As Mollen would say)
I am teaching kids that are finished K and going into grade 1. Plus I am leading worship :) After VBS I went home with someone from our church and babysat all afternoon... I am doing the same tomorrow... SOMEONE is going to need a nap when this week is over! :P I will have plenty of time to nap in the van on our trip, so that's good... I'm really excited for the drive, but also dreading it... C'mon... You can't NOT dread being in a van for 24 hours (over the course of 2 days) with 8 people besides yourself! Maybe the kids will be SUPER good and it will be SUPER fun :)
