My Girly Girls

My sweet girls. Kylee is 7, and of course acting like she is 17!!! She is out of school, which I love! I love having my kids home with me. Kylee loves being home too, she isn't too fond of school. She is very smart and sometimes I think she gets bored at school. She is growing up too fast. I try to spend as much time with her as I can and I am trying to teach her all I know (which isn't much). She is fun to be with and treats her sisters and brother so well. I don't know what I would do if she didn't help me with Malia while I made dinner!

Baily is 3 and POTTY TRAINED!!! Can you say HALELULLA!!!! (I sure don't know how to spell that word) She has been quit the little stinker with potty training. She would hold her pee in all day long and never release the pee until evening time and then she would flood the floor. It was very frustrating. We would spend a lot of time sitting on the potty, singing songs, chanting "Let my pee pee go!" But no matter what we did, no amount of candy offers or sticker charts could get her to pee in the toilet. So I just gave up and decided she would pee when she was ready. Well, she woke up this last Saturday and decided that she was going to pee. She peed that morning and has been potty trained ever since, I am talking totally trained. Poop, night time, everything. Not one accident. Dont ask me how it happened! She has become a sweet girl. She is very smart and pleasent most of the time. She is fun.

Malia Ann, AKA:angel!! This is the sweetest, most content well behaved baby in all the world. James and I wonder every day what we ever did to deserve our Malia. We think that about all our kids, of course!!!Malia has been such an amazing addition to our family. She is in such a fun stage now, sitting up on her own and smiling at everyone and everything. It's no secret that the girl is chubby!!! At her 6 months checkup she was almost 20 pounds! She is short for her age, so all that lovely chub just looks chubbier! What can I say, isn't she beautiful!!! She is our gift from a very loving Father in Heaven.

Tyler was talking on the phone to his cousin Austin and Austin made a really loud noise and Tyler said,
"Whatever noise you just made was SO loud it sounded like you sent little men with sticks into my ears to bang on my ear drums!"

Tyler: "Do you know you're cute?"
Malia: "Ya!"
Tyler: "Do you know I love you?"
Malia: "Ya!"

I have been crocheting a blanket for the new baby and Baily was watching me one day, and this conversation happened.
"Mom, you crochet faster than a chicken!"
"Really!? I have never seen a chicken crochet before Baily, have you?"
"Yes! Once, when I was at the Zoo and I was lost all by myself I saw a chicken crocheting."
"Oh really, and he was crocheting with his feet?"
"Ya, He was crocheting with all of his feet! But he wasn't as fast as you Mom!"

Baily- "How old will I be when I get baptized?"
Me- "Eight."
Baily- "Are you 8?"
Me- "No, I am 29."
Baily- "Wow! I will never be that old!"

I was explaning to Baily how to say her personal prayers. I told her she gets to talk to and tell Heavenly Father anything she wants. Then she said,
Baily- "I can't talk to Him, He isn't here!"
Me- "Just try to picture him in your head as you are talking to him."
Baily- "I just can't do it Mom, Heavenly Father is just too far up there."
We where discussing what everyone wanted to be for halloween, when we got to Baily I said, "And you get to be a tinker! (tinker belle)
Baily- "No...I don't want to be a tinker toy!"
Baily- "Mommy, I want a fruit number" (she meant fruit leather...it took me a while to figure that one out)
Mom -"Tyler, I can't believe you are old enough to start Kindergarten!"
Tyler- "I know! I just learned and learned and learned and learned...it took a long time for it!"
We saw Horton Hears a Who for the first time yesterday and this is what I over heard today as Kylee and Tyler were playing...
Kylee- "Let's play Horton Hears a Who. I get to be Horton." and without even stopping to think Tyler quickwittedly responds,
Tyler-"I get to be 'hears a who'"
We were at the zoo the other day and my sweet, curious Tyler says,
"I always wondered what it would be like to lick a zebra, but remember that time that I licked Alley (our cat)...It was not fun."
It's true...we were getting cat hair off his tongue for days!
Baily and I were sitting on the couch and she looks up at me with her big green eyes and says, "Mom, guess what...Jesus died for us!" Talk about an unbelievable parent moment!
We went to the fish farm and let the kids catch some trout. Kylee caught her first fish and was freaking out as it was wiggling on the line. She was screaming, "It wont stop vibrating!"
Tyler picked his fish up and looked it in the eye and said, "Good bye fish...we will see you at dinner!"
The tooth fairy was 2 days late to pick up Kylee's tooth (oops!) and when she woke up the second morning and there was still a tooth under her bed and no money she said,
Kylee- "Maybe she was arrested from breaking into all of those kids houses."
I put Kylee's plate of food in front of her tonight and after seeing what it was (spaghetti with meat and zucchini in the sauce) she said, "Is that all you can do is make me sicker and sicker!" Guess who had to eat an extra serving of zucchini! I know, I'm mean! Can you say, "Attitude!"
I walked into the living room when I heard Malia hysterically laughing and I said,
"Baily, why is Malia laughing so hard?"
Baily- "I'm sitting on her."
Me- "No Baily! We don't sit on babies!"
Baily- "But she likes it!"
Tyler- "Mommy, how many days are in a week?"
Me- "7"
Tyler- "How many weeks in a year?"
Me-"52"
Tyler "Good Job Mom!"
Tyler- "I was in a play today at Primary, and I got to be Nehi...I mean Lephi..."
Daddy- "If a snake has round eyes it is NOT posionous, and if it has slit eyes like a cat it IS poisonous." Kylee- "So if I see a snake I will pick it up, check its eyes, and if they are slits I will drop it and run!"
Baily- "Mommy, I am so happy now, 'cause I am bigger and I get the potty train!"
Baily (3) - "I'm Big now mommy, remember. I'm 4!"
