College and Kindergarten

Yesterday on my dining room table I had an application for college and an application for Kindergarten.  We are trying to figure out where my oldest and youngest sweeties will go to school next year. Luke is considering going to West Valley Community College. He had a great meeting with the soccer coach there. It is hard to believe he is graduating from high school in about 6 weeks.
Amy will be 5 in Juy and we believe she is ready for Kindergarten.  Next year will be exciting for everyone!

Road Trip

I took the four girls to the beach for four days this last week during their spring break.  They referred to it as a road trip even though it was only an hour away. We enjoyed the beach, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and yummy food! There was a lot of laughter and fun.
I thought Kali's English was almost complete, but we stumbled across one word she didn't know.  As we were driving we entered a daylight safety zone. Lana read a sign aloud - Turn on your headlights.  Kali laughed and laughed.  Headlights - we don't have lights in our head! The two eight year olds explained what headlights are, but it was too late.  Kali laughed and laughed and then would say "headlights" again and laugh some more. 
After 10 minutes the giggling began to slow down.  But Lana called out, "Hey, look over there - purple portapotties!"  This time all four girls were hysterical. Purple portapotties became a tongue twister and they laughed until they could barely breath.
What a blessing to have sisters!
