The Family I Love: Kittens Are To Die For...

Kittens Are To Die For...

...at least my kids think so. We picked fresh grapefruits from a family in our ward and got to see their baby kittens. 4 out of the 5 kittens have future homes already and they are trying to find a home for the last one. Alison got the idea that we should be the owners of the last one. To tell you the truth, I was even tempted as long as it stayed outside, but we are not allowed to have pets at the rental we are in. David, however, was very firm in saying NO! Alison just about died. She was trying to figure out a way to get that kitty that she had already named. In fact, the next day while David was trying to help her with her math, she got frustrated and mad at him. She ended up placing a note out for him to see that said, "If you want to know where I am, shout to me that you are sorry and also that you will get me a kitten. You have to promise or I won't come out." I am quite impressed with her ability to think up such clever ideas:) Unfortunately for her, David found her without having to call out. I have no idea where her super strong drive to accomplish what she wants comes from:) Thank goodness for experiences such as these that keep me smiling.

This kitty was the girls favorite. They named it Curious.

This is the mother of the 5 kittens.

Emma

Emma, who is 10, loves music and feels it inside. I LOVE to listen to her sing. When she knows a song well she can belt it out strong. She is not one that needs a microphone:) Her daddy loves to spend time with her singing. Often times he plays his guitar while she makes up songs. When Emma isn't singing, she is playing outside, or with friends. She wishes she could go camping more often and last night she informed me that she wished she lived in a place that had tons of lizards, animals, snakes, bugs, etc... I think she needs to go to the rainforest.

Sadie

Sadie, who is 7, is the jokester of the family. She is happiest if her joke actually makes someone laugh:) She has started a funky jazz dance class and seems to really enjoy it. It is fun to watch her work so hard at doing the splits. She loves anything girlie...make-up, dress-up, sparkly, etc... She prefers not to do any chores or housework:), but is getting better at it. She is known to pull everything out while playing and not be too interested when it's time to clean up. Mommy usually says, "Well, I'll do it, but I get to do what I want with it." That usually means I will throw it in the trash:) It's amazing how quick she moves once I volunteer!

Jayden

Jayden, who will be 5 in July, will start kindergarten real soon. He wasn't excited to do so, but is now accepting the idea that he won't be with mommy forever. Jayden loves to ride his bike, scooter, jump on the trampoline, and play with his friends. He loves to spot race cars and hear their engines rev. For some reason he can spot a mustang a mile away. He also loves to pretend that his bike is a motorcycle and he makes revving noises while he rides. He loves his sisters and enjoys playing with them too. He is very loving and tells me many time a day, "Mommy, I love you!"
