Sweet Little Prayers

Kaycee just learned how prayers work. We rented some movies from Redbox the other day. Before taking them back yesterday I let her watch Up one more time while we were working on the house and patio. She decided to watch her SpongeBob movie again too. Somehow the third movie got lost. They were in her care and now one is gone. I looked in every crack, under every cushion, everywhere trying to think, "if Kayden got ahold of it where would he put it?" I had an empty case with no movie. I wasn't going to pay another rental fee again tonight OR have to pay for a missing movie. I told Kaycee that she had better say a prayer that we find that movie because she was in BIG trouble. I kept looking and went to check on her. She was huntched over on her bed saying a prayer. I left her, walked down stairs, looking in the same places I had looked earlier. Low-and-behold there it was. I called her to me and talked about her prayer. She was so happy that Heavenly Father heard her prayer. It was so sweet that her presious little prayer was answered that quickly. So we sat on the stairs and said another prayer of thanks. She was pretty excited about it. I love special moments like this that not only teach my sweet little girl but me as well as to how precious our little ones really are!!!

Miley Cyrus in SLC!


Kaycee's first concert!
We took Kaycee on a daddy/mommy date. We kept the concert a surprise until we got to the arena. Everyday she has talked about Hannah Montana coming to Utah and how she wanted to go to the concert, so when we told her I expected squealing or something. She was like, "oh." That was it? I think she was in shock because when we got inside and it started she started to cry with tears coming down her face, "i want to see Hannah Montana." She couldn't see that it was Miley singing. After a song or two she realized who it was and got really excited for it. It was fun to go to a concert with her. I guess Isaac did good. I was pretty upset at first when he bought them. I felt better about it after I heard Kaycee get excited about it when her cousin Alexis told her Miley was coming to town, but I was still annoyed, but it was actually really fun to see Kaycee excited and Miley put on a pretty entertaining show. And we had AWESOME seats, 10th row, on the floor! When we got to the Energy Solutions Stadium the first thing we saw was 16 semi-trucks and 4-6 tour buses parked at the side. CrAzY! They really knew how to put on a show, however, there were so many young girls, moms, aunts, even boys and men talking about how she is such a great role model and how they LOVED her. Even though it was fun no one, especially Miley, will be a role model for our little girl. That will NOT happen in our home. She is entertaining and fun to listen to and watch but she or any other celeb will never be a role model and we will never encourage it.

The opening band was Metro Station, Miley's brother Trace and Mitchel Musso's brother Steven (I think were there names). Trace is tattoo city. Not what you expect. Miley was not an innocent little tike herself. I do have to say they were both entertaining. Miley was sick and in the middle of the second song, Ten Things I Hate About You, she ran off stage and her backup singers finished it. About 10 minutes later she came back out and gave a good show. During her last song though she threw up on stage, discreetly. Poor thing.

London Bridges Falling Down


Kaycee likes to climb on my the recliner and chairs in the bedroom. She jumps from one to the other. A couple of times she has fallen and the chair has fallen on her. She has luckily never got hurt. Then the other day she dropped the channel changer and dove for it falling face first into the recliner handle. Grandma thought she poked her eye out and grabbed her running downstairs to find us, as she got to the stairs her foot slipped and they went tumbling down the stairs. The lucky little thing missed her eye but bruised her brow. Isaac told her that she was going to get a black eye and she came screaming into me, "I don't want my eye to turn purple." What a dramatizing experience. The picture doesn't look as bad as it was.

Fun with Hayden in Castle Dale










Kaycee was so excited to spend the weekend at Grandma and Grandpa Bott's house. Not only was she going to be in Castle Dale but Hayden was going to be there. The first thing they did was run to their special boxes full of goodies grandma has for them and ran outside to play. They loved the pool and having water fights. It is fun to see them together. They are two days apart and each time we see them they change places in the height race. One month Kaycee is taller and the next Hayden catches up. He actually beat her this time, he is a 1/2 inch taller than Kaycee. However, he will always have her beat in the shoe department thank goodness. Kaycee is in a 10.5 and Hayden is in a 1 already.
