If my phone could talk

...it would probably say things like...

"Costco parking lot + sudden torrential rain pour = 3 shivering, soaked wee ones by the time we got inside the store. Good thing we needed to get towels there anyway."

"We seem to spend a great deal of time here at the baseball diamond cheering Cade on. He does make an awesome catcher. Check out his form!"

"Who would think a dainty, tutu-wearing girl would prefer to spend her time at Cade's riveting baseball games by playing in the dirt?"

"Here is Michelle forcing her children to earn their keep. There's a slight chance she was just allowing her children to seize the opportunity of having all the Parade of Homes traffic from the patrons checking out the house next door.But just a slight chance."

"Definitely looks like forced labor to me."

"Savannah had a go at the cookie sales the next day. They opted to simplify the cookie stand with a smaller table after Ruby got a hold of the first sign. Cade came to the rescue and made this one. "

"Sometimes Michelle has to get clever when she needs to get ready for church and the baby wants a bottle NOW but absolutely refuses to hold it on her own, despite her being plenty old enough to do so..."

"Sav could hardly contain her excitement at the sight of this float at the Orem Freedom? Days parade. Who knows what it's representing. Sparkly candy and a girl with pig tails hanging out the back? Definitely her kind of parade float!"

"Just before going to a princess-themed birthday party, Savannah demanded a photo op with these guys outside Smith's grocery store. Old friends maybe?"

"Sometimes Savannah just shocks us. Like this time. Her friends stopped by and one of them was riding this. She asked if she could please have a turn..."

"And off she went. No prior two-wheeler experience at all. Go Sav!"

"One morning a few weeks ago Michelle noticed in Savannah's room a huge clump of hair on the floor next to the bed. It looked as though Savannah had cleaned out Mommy's hair brush and saved the hair ball. Turns out after a series of clever interviews conducted by Michelle, Sav had gone to bed with tangly hair and proceeded to spend the next several minutes (hours?) 'combing' out her hair with her fingers, thinning out her hair to the point that she almost had no hair on her left side. Michelle had to change the direction of Sav's part so it looks like she has some hair. She finally decided to take her to the salon to get it evened out a bit. At the ripe age of 4, this is Savannah's first official paid-for hair cut. About 2 minutes into it she began asking the hairstylist if she was done yet."

"Personally I feel that it's rather indulgent to provide your 4-year-old with her own motorcycle, but what do I know?"

"One day Michelle felt the need for some retail therapy. She came home with an outfit, put it on,and sent this picture to Kyle with the message, 'Thanks so much for the outfit, sweetie!' Nice of her to give credit where it's due."

"All of the important moments in their lives captured thanks to yours truly. Sigh, what would they do without me?"
