San Diego, California

San Diego, California February 16, 2209 - February 20, 2009

What a great time we had on Vacation!!! What great memories and moments!!! I think that it is these small moments in life that help us to see the big picture of what is really important... family. Colton and I had so much fun. Ou

r favorite part of the week was collecting shells on the beach. Colton and I got so excited and we found great shells, multiple star fish, crabs, a car key, small batman toy and a pair of reading glasses! Colton and I were having so much fun seeing what treasure the other person found. The weather was great. We had rain the first day and on Tuesday morning but other than that the sun shined.

We did go out on the Ocean, about 15 miles, to see if we could see any whales

or dolphins. The boat was called the "HornBlower". According to the Captian, "This boat is the best ocean worthy little boat and it has never let me down." We did see some whales and dolphins but this experience was not as wonderful as we had all expected. Because of the storms the ocean was a bit choppy... to say the least. We all got sea sick! Hooray for Barf Bags!!!!! Boy did we use them. Dad 3 times, Marian once, Colton once and yours truly once. We diffenatly felt green around the gills. And to think we actually paid for the experience!

The other great activity was visiting SeaWorld for two days. Colton and I feed the Seal Lions. We bought the frozen dead fish and placed them in the sea lions mouths. The little white birds were so aggressive. I had a fish in my hands and before I could give it to the Sea Lions a bird swooped down and took it right out of my hand. It completly took me by suprise! Later, Dad had a bird swoop down and take his breadstick from his lunch tray!

SeaWorld was a fun experience. We had been two years ago for the first time so it was nice to go again and know what to expect and to remember the fun stuff. It was so much fun going with my Dad and my Sister, Marian. It was nice to do a vacation outside of Utah and Arizona. Hope you enjoyed this little travel log.

Celeste and Colton

I am certainly looking forward to next year when we are all going to Jackson Hole, Wy for Dad's big 60!!!! What fun.

July 15, 2009 ~ The Economy
I usually buy the good healthy bread full for grains but the other week I had to buy the cheep 99cent bread with no flavor and little nutrition! I fix a sandwich for Colton and I for lunch. Colton took a bit and said, "Mom, why did you buy this bread?" I told him that was what I could afford this week. He then said, "With the way the economy is people can't even afford good bread!" This amused me so I asked,”What do you know about the economy?" He replied rather indignantly, "I watch the news with you. I listen to the important stuff and then I go play."

January 15, 2009 ~ Frost Bite
Colton and I were walking through the temple to visit a friend. It was dark and cold. We stared to talk about when Colton and his cousin Rachel was playing in the snow in Utah. I told Colton that I was so afraid that he would get frost bite because he was out there so long. Colton must have not know what frost bite was because he said, ".... Oh Mom,.... I don't need that, I’m just a kid." I was confused so I asked him what it was that he did not need. He replied, "You know, that thing you just said, frost bite."

October 2008~The Jitter Bug Song
We were watching a dance program and they played a certain Jitter Bug Song.
Colton said, “hey my dance teachers has that song, but we don’t do those moves.”
“Oh, really, Why?”, I asked
“Well you have to hold a girls hand.”
“Oh, is that against the rules at school?”
“No, that is allowed but US boys don’t want to hold a girls hand.”

December 06, 2008 ~ Highway Robbery
The other day I was helping my mother look for a certain DVD on ebay. They wanted way too much for the DVD so I said that it was highway robbery…. Later that night Colton and I were looking for another item on ebay and it too was too much. Colton remembered what I said about the item earlier that day and said, “That is robbery on the go.” He was trying to say “Highway Robbery”

"Focus on driving"
This morning I was driving Colton to his Aunt Starr's house to be babysat. We were listening to music in the car and it was good dance type of music. I said to Colton, "boy, we could have a party in the car and dance." Colton said, "do you want to get in an accident?" I said, "no" then he said, "you better focusing on driving! My friend Joshua got in an car accident with his older bother driving and the side of the car came all the way in and touched him." Colton is so wise and serious for his years. 10/10/08

"Professional"
Colton wanted a Star Wars costume for Halloween. I offered to make him one. He replied."Mom, I want a "professional" Costume. I guess MY sewing is not professional enough for him..... so I made him earn half of the price for the "professional" costume! And he was earned $20.00 for the costume! 09/30/08

"Tax"
It is a standard procedure for me to take a "bite" out of Colton's popcicle, sandwhich or any other food item that I am serving him. When he questions me about the bite I took, I always tell him that the bite is payment of "tax". So the other day he asked if I wanted a popcicle and I said yes. He opened my popcicle and took a bite then proudly proclaimed, "That's my change!" He could not remember the word tax. I laughed so hard. 09/29/08

"A Fly"
There was a fly in the house tonight, and I was chasing it around trying to kill it. I was complaining about the fly and Colton said in a very informational kind of way, “Flies only live 14 days…. Don’t worry Mom, we only have 13 more days.” It was so funny. I asked Colton where you learned this information and He you said, “Mrs. Ramsey told me.” She was his 1st grade teacher.
