As you can see, I have been staying off the computer.
What's new:
Trying to potty train Xayla. Very fun :(.
Kobi started playing golf. He loves it. I am so glad he is old enough to do fun activities.
K.C. is taking his Dental Boards next Monday.
I have a new calling: teaching CTR 5. It has been fun and busy!
I'll have to post pictures later.

Latest Kobi thing
By the way, we got the mouse! I was going to post a picture of it dead, but that would be kind of mean. Expensive gadgets did not work. The cheap yellow trap worked and peanut butter!
Anyway, just wanted to post the latest Kobi thing.
Today was Fast Sunday (Hopefully Michelle clued you in on this Nichole :)) and I told Kobi that it was. He was helping me do the laundry. Then he stated, "Mom, why is today called Fast Sunday when it goes just as slow as every other Sunday."
I had to laugh. The things kids say. Now we need a family home evening on Fast Sunday.
Kobi is turning 8 July 28th. That means he will be baptised this summer! We took him to a baptism last night to watch. He said "I'm going to be fine." I am so excited. I can't believe he is getting big!
Today during fast testimony meeting, we had a few new converts to the church get up an bear their testimony. They were so excited! You could see the sparkle in their eyes and the innocence and conviction in their voices. It was really neat seeing how excited and blessed they stated they were. I had to bear my testimony because it just reminded me of how sometimes when everything is going well in our lives, we forget about our Heavenly Father. We kind of take it for grated. It made me really think about my spiritual walk. I know what it was like when I first became a nurse. I got so excited about every little thing. You forget that after a while. It was the same way when I joined the church. I felt like a new person. My eyes were opened to so many new things. I was actually a happy person. Over time, you get comfortable with daily living. Today, the new converts sparked that excited in me again. It's a wonderful feeling.

Our California trip
Angel's Stadium
Dodger's Stadium
The Incredibles!
Mickey!
Aladdin was really good at California Adventure, but you need to wait in line for 2 hours to get a good seat!
I was so glad Xayla actually slept with Dad!

Here is our simple backyard. I am missing a couple of rose bushes. We need to get a swing set as well. How do you get rid of yellow patches? We have been watering our yard like crazy, but we have some patches. Maybe I will buy some seeds. The guy that did my backyard said he would spray it with something to help it grow. We will see. For our first backyard, I am happy. Better than the dirt we had.

Disneyland
So we went to Disneyland last week. It was a lot of fun. I will have to post pictures later. I haven't downloaded my pictures yet. We went to two baseball games last Tues. (Angels and Tigers and Dodgers and Giants). I actually wanted to see Barry Bonds hit a home run even though everyone hates him. He hit one the next day.
Wed. was Disneyland. I can hang a long time at Disneyland. K.C. wanted to take a nap. He said I need to find new Disneyland partners because I wear him out. How long does everyone else stay at theme parks? What's "normal"? We stayed for 7 hours (I could have stayed longer), and K.C. went back to the hotel and passed out. He slept for 12 hours! He said the sun wore him out.
Thurs. was California Adventure. It was my first time there. I was pleasantly surprised the Cal. Adventure was not all rollercoasters. K.C. did well there because there was a lot of shows and sitting down. We took a picture with Mickey and the Incredibles. I will have to post pictures later.
The highlight of the trip was K.C. took Xayla on the little rollercoaster I believe in Toon Town. She barely made the height requirement with her shoes on. When she got off she said "Owee" and "hurt". It was sad, but very cute. We did have a lot of fun. It was nice getting away and just spending lots of time together. Well, I will post pictures later. That's always the best part.
Oh, one more thing. Our simple backyard is basically done. I need to post those pictures as well. We have been in and out of our house because we now have a backyard. Sometimes the kids leave the back door completely open. Well guess what? K.C. saw a mouse in our house yesterday! Gross! My neighbor has already found 2 in her house, but I didn't think anything of it. I guess they are roaming our neighborhood. What is the best way to get rid of one? K.C. is out at the store buying traps and he found this like mouse electrocuter at Lowes (sounds bad). We will see if it works. GROSS!
