Dare Graduation

I was privileged to attend Ally's D.A.R.E (drug abuse resistance education) Graduation this week. The fifth graders at her school have been working with the D.A.R.E. officer in our area for the last couple of months and have all pledged to stay drug free. I am very proud of Ally and I really enjoyed the program.

Anonymous said...: Can I just say how GLAD I am to know they still do this program!?? For one thing, it's totally a great thing. So I'm glad you have it. But I have to tell you this funny thing Josi... I used to teach the young adult Sunday school right? I referred to this program once in a lesson I taught comparing knowing your decisions early in life, etc. ANYWAYS, they were totally blank :P Had NO clue what I was talking about :P And after I explained, I felt OLD! haha So I even actually got teased about this a couple of times later :P They thought it was pretty funny. I wasn't trying to be funny! I was serious! :P Oh well. Their loss :P Hope you are doing well! Cute pics!! :); March 26, 2010 at 11:38 PM

2/3/2010 - I couldn't find my cell phone last night so I had Jeff call it. I followed the sound into Bayley's room and saw her leg glowing. My cell phone was in the leg of her footie pajamas. This morning when I got her dressed I also found a wii remote and a farm animal fridge magnet! What a silly goose!
2/1/2010 - Bayley's new cousin Jackson (2 weeks old) came to visit yesterday and Bayley could not get enough of him. She would sit on the lap of whoever was holding Jackson and would constantly say "baby" and want to hold him and be right by his side. When he left, she wanted to go too and cried for the baby. All day today, she keeps going to the door and saying "mon (come on)" "go" "baby" and when I tell her we can't go see the baby cuz he lives to far away, she cries.
1/31/2010 - Bayley: "So"....."So"..... (all day long) (her new word she learned to say, and she says it really sassy like I am sure she has heard her sisters say it!)
1/27/2010 - Josi (while Saedy is throwing a temper tantrum) "Wow, Saedy, that sure isn't the way a five year old should be acting!" Saedy: "Well anyway, I won't turn five until tomorrow so I can act this way today!"
12/14/09 - On the way home from Wit and Saedy's dance recital. Jeff had drove seprate and Wit and Saedy went home with him. Bayley and I began to have this conversation. Bayley: "Mom, mom, mom, mom". Josi: "What Bayley?" Bayley: "Nee Nee (Witney) Daddy". Josi: "Yep, Witney went with Dad". Bayley: "Mom, mom, mom, mom". Josi: "What Bayley?" Bayley: "Say say (Saedy) Daddy." Josi: "Yep, Saedy went with Daddy." So after about five minutes of this same conversation over and over again. Josi: "Bayley, should we turn on some music and stop talking?". So I turned on the music and Bayley starts singing along with the music in this cute, soft, high voice "Nee nee, dad. Say Say, dad. Nee nee, dad. Say say, dad." She really did not want to stop having that conversation! It was so cute and hilarious.
Josi: (Complaining about a cold I had) "Saedy, what should I do, I feel sick?" Saedy: "Maybe Jesus can help you. My teacher at church says that Jesus helps everyone"!
Saedy: (Watching a t.v. at Outer Limits (a kids fun zone)) "Why doesn't this t.v. have the volume up"? (That right there cracked me up, her using the word "volume"). Josi: "Because it's too noisy in here to hear. That is why they have the closed caption on, which means you can read the words while you watch". Saedy: "Don't they know that some kids can't read"?
11/10/2009 - The girls love the new music from the Hannah Montana Movie. They go arond singing the "Hoedown Throwdown" which goes "Pop it, lock it, polka dot it....etc". Bayley loves to dance around the house singing "pop it, pop it, pop it".
11/10/2009 - Bayley is getting to be so much fun! She loves animals and when she sees anything that remotely looks like a bear she says "Grrrr". She was a care bear for Halloween and anytime anyone would say "Are you a bear?" She would say "Grrr".
11/5/2009 - The girls were memorizing their parts for the primary program at church. I had gone over Saedy's part with her earlier in the week which is "I can obey my parents". Later I asked her if she remembered what her part was. She said yes, "My parents can be honest". I thought that was funny. She said it the right way and prefectly on the day of the program!
9/8/2009 - Josi: (Helping Witney with homework) "Wit, you need to write this sentence". Wit - "Mom, why don't you just write it." Josi: "I think your teacher would be able to tell if I did it for you." Wit - "Just write kind of sloppy!"
8/29/2009 - Josi: "Ally, thank you for helping with Bayley while I was gone." Witney - "I helped too!" Josi - "Thank you for helping with Bayley too, Wit, and Saedy thank you for helping too!" Saedy - "Well, you don't need to thank me, cuz I did not help at ALL!"
8/16/2009-(After vacation) Josi: "Saedy, I think you grew while I was gone!" Saedy: "I am still four!"
8/11/09-(While telling Saedy goodbye before we left on vacation). Josi: "I love you, be good and no whining, ok?" Saedy: "Mom, I never whine at other peoples houses".

Josi: "These are some things that start with "F" fish, feet, frog, can you think of anything that starts with "F"? Saedy: "Ffffff-water".
The other day I was feeling Saedy's spine to see if it felt straight to me, and as I was, she said "Mom, those are just my horns".
Saedy: "Mom, the cars windows are 'froggy'!"
Witney: "Mom, I had the scariest day at school today! I saw a leprechan on the bleachers and when I blinked, it was gone!"

Saedy: "Mom, how do the boogers get in my nose?" (Then, after I told her what I thought). "Oh, I thought it was that little person that lives in my head that put them in there".
Josi: (After fishing a bunch of Saedy's toys out of the bathroom sink full of water) "Saedy, I sure hope that you won't destroy all your new birthday toys that you get tomorrow like this". Saedy: "Well, of course I won't, cuz then I will be 4!"
Josi: "Saedy, do I get some of your chocolate bar?" Saedy: "Yes, but I am only giving you one piece, so don't throw a fit!"
Saedy: "Mom, will you get me a snack?" (And before I could even answer) "You have none just a seconds". (She knew just what I would say!)
Ally: (With a very serious look on her face after Jeff had answered some sort of deep question she had asked). "Wow, it's usually dad that doesn't really know anything."
Saedy: "I don't want that for supper, it's gross". Josi: "You haven't ever tried it before." Saedy: "Yes I have, we had it at preschool". (Saedy says this every time we are having something she doesn't want for dinner, although I know that they don't eat meals at school, let alone dinner).
Saedy: "Mom, I can't sleep. It feels like I have a hot hairball in my throat."
Saedy: (Talking about an ornament on the tree that plays music) "Mom, this makes our tree very songiful".
Saedy: "When Bayley grows up, what will we call her?" Josi: (Confused) "Bayley" Saedy: "That's a baby name!"

Saedy: "Mom, my friend has a dog, a cat, and a poodle." Josi: "Isn't a poodle a dog?" Saedy: "No, a poodle's just a poodle!"
Saedy: "Ally you know that little guy named TS or somethin like that?" Ally: "You mean ET?" Saedy: "Ya, ET"!
Saedy: "Ally those pajamas are Sweet!"
Saedy: "Mom, you should get these shoes, they are the new style!"

Witney: "Did you move Bayley's carseat". (After Jeff changed Bayley's carseat from one side of the car to the other.) Ally: "No, it's just because the car is backed into the drive way instead of facing forward". (Poor Ally, takes after her mom).
