*Quotables*

 I've been collecting some of their quotes over the past few months. These two make me smile and laugh right out loud more often than not. I love you sweet girls!!

**Mya's first taste of dark chocolate orange: "Oh my GOSH!! This is Amazing!!"

**Sadie: I'm a unicorn.

Me: What's a unicorn?

Sadie: It has a magic wand...

Mya: On it's head!

Sadie: And it does dis (swings her head in a circle) to call all da animals. And it makes the animals dance.

**Mya: Dinosaurs roar, and talk in Spanish.

**Me: Sadie, when we go to Disneyland, will you ride Splash Mountain with me?

Sadie: YES!! And I will give Brer Wabbit a hi five!!

**Mya: One time Brandon peed outside like a dog.

Me: What!?!

Mya: Yep, he told me. It made me laugh.

**(Mya at the splash pad shivering)

Me: Mya, are you cold?

Mya: No, just shivering for fun.

**Mya to Sadie: That's what best friends do, they help each other.

**Sadie: Mom, did your necklace get fixed?

Me: Yep, all fixed.

Sadie: (Gives me a High-5) Yes! Triumph!

**In this next quote the girls are discussing baby formula. I was trying to see if Hayze would eat it, just in case.

Mya: Mom, did you put the duck soil in it?

Me: What?

Mya: You know, the stuff with the little ducks on the outside.

Sadie: Yeah, I bet he likes vanilla.

**Mya: I love you mom.

Me: I love you Mya.

Mya: I love Hayze too. 

I love Hayze more than you.

And I love Hayze more than pets.

 And I love pets more than Sadie.

And I love Sadie more than rats.

**Mya: You hurt my feelings! All of them!!

**Me: When you scream like that it's very loud and shrill and it hurts people's ears.

Mya: OK. But what about deaf people? Can they hear me, does it hurt their ears?

Me: (slightly annoyed) No, they can't but we don't know any deaf people.

Mya: Yes we do, the one in the scriptures.

Time for your check up..

Took my little ladies in to visit the pediatricians this month. Mya had her official kindergarten check up. She was beyond excited and chatted up everyone involved. Bless her little heart we spent a large amount of time trying to get her to not wiggle her arm so that the blood pressure cuff would read. I think they had to try 5 or 6 times before we had success. Checked out her eyes, 20/30 in both eyes. I was a little worried considering how bad her daddy's eyes were when he was little. I had warned her she was going to have to have some shots and they might hurt. We made a plan... I would hold her hands and we would sing a song. At first she decided on 'Give said the Little Stream' but when it came down to it she ended up wanting 'Zip-a-Dee-Do-Da'. She had a moment of panic when she saw the first needle but then it was all over and she was ok.

Sadie went for her visit a week later. For some unknown reason she got to sport this sassy gown. She asked me... 'Why I haffa wear dis dwess? It's swatchy!'  The annoying dress was forgotten when they assistance came in and then shy Sadie took over. When they checked her eyes puppy Sadie came out. The gal showed her a picture of a house and asked her what it was...a whispered 'woof' was all she got as a response. We had a quick talk about how we needed her to use a people voice not a puppy voice.

Freedom Festivities

It was a fantastic day for a parade! The kiddo's and I met grams and grandpa and the Draper family to celebrate. It wasn't too hot and thanks to some young married couples who braved the camp out the night before we got to share a great spot in the shade, which made it even better. Scott and Laura we thank you.

Daddy isn't much of a parade go'er so he and Papa spent the day in their happy place, 4wheeling and hiking.

Deni, Nick and the handsome Mr. Eli

This girl sure loves her grandpa.
After the parade we headed home for a nice rest and then went to grams and grandpa's house for a BBQ. Grandpa made ribs and smoked some trout that daddy had caught over Strawberry days. We are never wanting for good food when we decide to eat together. Then that night I had to go to work to welcome in the rest of the independence day babes.

Sadie decided to play shy today. She was a little needy for grams but grams was amazing and indulged her neediness. She enjoyed the parade, especially the floats. Every time one passed by she would stand up and wave and them resume her place on grams lap.

Mr. Eli discovered the Hi-Chews and was thrilled! He pocketed a few but shared quite a few as well.

Eli was so sweet with little Hayze. He kept hugging him and kissing him, such a sweet boy!

Known and loved these darling ladies for 29 years. Made lots of memories and enjoyed lots of places together. Love you guys!

Thursday Pictures - 14 Weeks

14 Weeks Old

Sweet Mister Man charmed me even further this week when he let out the most darling giggles. I was chatting with him, I started to tickle his tummy and he let go with a string of giggles. As with everything he has been keeping them to himself since then, he isn't a performer, but occasionally I can find the right spot that gets him. He's eating a little more and spitting up a little less so I feel like this is a recipe for a little more chunk. We will see, it's helped with the sleep situation. This week he has seemed much more entertained by the toys on his bouncer. They've been there for a little while and he's tried to swat them a few times. Now they have started to elicit big grins and he's a little more coordinated in his movements. It's darling to listen to him coo and stare up at them.
