(Kayia - On fighting bad guys)
Kaiya: Muscles are good for fighting bad guys... To deathness. Which is good, 'cause we have guns, and we have fists. And feet to kick!
Kaiya: If there were any bad guys around here, we would shoot them or punch them or kick them in the face, and it would hurt them for real.
Kaiya: If there were an alien near our house we would just shoot it with a gun and punch it 'till it's dead. And then we would THROW IT ON THE GROUND! (to the tune of “Throw it on the Ground” SNL Digital Short)
Mysti: Would it cry?
Kaiya: No. It would be dead.
Kaiya: We'll make up new hurting moves as we go along that's different each time and new each time.
Morgan: Mommy, can I have some candy.
Mytsti: No.
Morgan: Mommy, Yes. I need my candy. Yes.
Morgan: Sausage is like meat marshmallows.
Kaiya: Dad, can we light this on fire?
My family with four little girls can be a wild ride. Sometimes it feels a bit like some sort of crazy comedy. Strap in and enjoy some of it with me.

Royal Ascension, Electricity and a Dancing Prima Donna
(Kaiyia and Mysti are playing barbies. Kaiya is being Cinderella and Mysti is being Snow White)
Kaiya: *in a Cinderella voice* Today I am going to become queen. My mom and dad died because they were attacked by aliens. I hid and didn’t get hurt except for a gonk on the head. I am a tough girl. My parents should have been tough and smart and hid like me.
(Tom is trying to explain wiring to Kaiya.)
Tom: See the wire running to that light? Electricity runs along that wire and lights up the bulb.
Kaiya: Oh... that sounds pretty boring.
Tom: It does? Oh...
Mysti: Kaiya, glitter pens are fun and pretty right?
Kaiya: Yes, they are so fun.
Tom: I think electricity is fun.
Kaiya: Nope it’s pretty boring.
(Morgan is dressed up like Cinderella. Mysti came up and started dancing with her, then this happened.)
Morgan: (with her fists on her hips) Mom, you can’t spin me! (Folds her arms and fixes Mysti with a withering glare.) It is my life!!!

The leatherback VS the maned wolves!
Kaiya: Mom lets play a game!
Mysti: I would love to. What would you like to play?
Kaiya: Mom, I’m a leatherback sea turtle. I am going to lay my eggs. You are Diego, and you need to keep the wolves away while I hide them.
( Kaiya pretends to swim and says “swim swim swim swim” while pretending.)
Kaiya: Now I dig a nest. (pretends to dig) Dig dig dig dig. (pretends to lay the eggs) Lay lay lay (pretends to cover up her eggs) bury bury bury berry. Smooth smooth smooth smooth.
Mysti: OK I kept the wolfs away, and I will protect your eggs for you.
Kaiya: Now I am going to go for a swim. You watch my eggs. (pretends to swim off) swim swim swim swim.
Kaiya: Help help help! I got trapped in a net by maned wolves!
Mysti: OK. I am getting in my boat.
Kaiya: Hurry hurry! They have me hanging over a volcano full of hot lava!!!
Mysti: I am coming fast to save you. (Mysti pretends to climb the volcano couch and rescue her.)
Kaiya: Lets hurry back to my babies.
Mysti: Climb in the boat and we will go.
( They make it back just in time to see the eggs hatch. What a great day with all of the turtles safe! )

I like me!
(Kaiya had a scratch on her pinky finger and the next day we made baking soda volcanoes. Kaiya and Morgan spent about a half hour splashing in the goo until the scratch started to sting. Tom put a band-aid on it for her then she said this.)
Kaiya: Mom, look I have a booboo. It’s OK though, because now I can hold a tea cup. (mimes holding a cup) Look my pinky is already up!
Jordan (a cousin): Morgan who do you like better BYU or Utah?
Morgan: I like Morgan.
Kaiya: I love everyone on our world because they are so kind and sweet to me.
Morgan: I want the pink cereal. Pink is yummy.
