Conversations with Kya 3

Driving home from basketball last night Kya says,
Kya:  "Mom, Mrs. A told me a secret and said I couldn't tell anyone, but I really want to tell you."
Mom:  "Kya, you can always tell mom anything, even secrets"
Kya:  "She told me that 'q' and 'u' are married"

Inside I am busting a gut...must have been learning about the letters q and u being "stuck" together in words.  I love that she wanted to tell me a secret and talk to her momma.

Hogle Zoo

I have been wanting to take the kids to Hogle Zoo for quite some time now...but I never seem to find the time. Well, since it is hunting season and Carl is gone hunting a lot, one weekend the kids and I (well really me...it was a surprise for the kids) decided to pack up and drive down to Salt Lake. We stayed with my sister Melanie and hung out with her. Friday, Alicia (who was down in Provo anyway) and Jacque came up the Hogle Zoo with us. It was so much fun. The kids love seeing the animals. Kya said she wants to work in a zoo...surprise, surprise. I call her my "animal whisperer". I really think she speaks to animals and understands them.

It was so fun hanging out with Melanie and her family. Jenna (her oldest girl) loves animals too and she and Kya got a long great. Jenna helped Kya learn how to draw horses...so cute. We sure missed Carl, but he was having fun hunting the animals...haha.
