yet another weekend to remember...

i wake up to my nieces saying.. Natalie its time to wake up!! {they've been up for hours. poor grandma Lisa}
Kelsey says,
"when the sun is up, we get up...when it gets dark we go to bed"
hmm.. when she goes to bed, i am going out for the night, when she wakes up, i almost sleep until she has 'quite time'. {i'm exaggerating}

when my niece Kelsey, tells me...

"Natalie, you need to clean your room..."

i know i should do so.

when she also tells me...
"Natalie, junk food is not healthy and makes you have a big tummy..."

i know i need to be off junk food.

oh wait, i'm off junk food. but she still tells me i have a big tummy! dang i better get workin' out.

that silly girl she is. & smarrrrt too!

we {as in my mom, and i helped.} babysat kids all weekend.
my Father was in Colorado with Jake the bro.
my Sister Jenny is still at the "happiest place on earth" 
with her husband Jared {Pete} & kids Jace & Lil'
then my other sis Holly Joy & her hubby Robert were in Cali also.
they left the kids to my mom.
•
Holly & Rob's kids are Kelsey and Danielle Ross. ♥ cutest things eveeeer.
           .Kesley. 4 .Dani 2.
my mother took them to the aquarium where they saw real sharks!! & penguins.
------while i was off being a big girl TRYING to find a job..

then we watched UP as we watch the beginning, Kelsey says to me..
"oh natalie, that is so sad i'm about to cry" with tears in her eyes.
•how adorable•
then they played while i mowed the lawn
but then we got to ride the horses!!
with Dani's cute voice, she said she didn't want to get on the horses. that she was too scared.
that girl Danielle.. she has the cutest little personality!
Kelsey was timid at first, but she got on jazzy {our horse} with me & we rode around, even trotted on the horse a little. {ya know, kinda like skipping on a horse.}

Kelsey says to me,  "dang, i wish i had my pink cowboy boots!!" 

.oohh at age four? yes. so cute.

 & BOY did we have fun!!!as i read to Kelsey, before bedtime.. we {mostly me cuz that dang girl is so smart} learned a lot about snakes, lizards, birds, starfish, seashells, and crabs...

• did you know that starfish aren't really considered a fish? •

& has one red eye at the top of each arm. {so usually five}

• did you know that crabs have blue blood? •

{this is when Kelsey starts gagging. literally making the noises. makes me kinda want to gag..so i tell her to stop, of course.} 

 Danielle does everything Kelsey does so i hope Dani doesn't pick up that one!

•

I ask Dani- whats your favorite princess?

she says.. Cinderella.

I ask Kelsey the same question &

she says.. whatever yours is!

•how adorable•

we wanted to watch Pocahontas all weekned. but we didn't make it to that movie.

don't you just get a little stomach ace from watching that?

like you are little again & you have no worries

next slumber party for sure!

.OH THE JOYS OF HAVING LITTLE NIECES & NEPHEWS.
