My Man

My man is 32 years young today!!!

There is no way I could do James justice in this post. For those of you who know James you know what a great guy he is. He is a wonderful father and from the first moment Kylee was put into his arms he took to being a dad so well. He has amazed me at how much he teaches, loves and serves our kids.

He is a better husband than I deserve, that is for dang sure! He helps me be a better person and loves, pampers and takes care of me effortlessly. He is patient, kind, and giving. He makes me laugh daily (most times unintentionally...). He is the best partner a girl could ask for.

Here he is (2nd from left) with two of his brothers and two friends. He ran the 7 mile leg of the Ogden marathon relay race. He did great!

Happy Birthday James, we love you!

My Kids Say the Dardnest Things

5-13-14 Dalin (3): " Mommy Willey (the cat) bit me. I think he's a vampire.'
11-1-10
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!"
7-14-2010
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!"
5-2-09
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!"
5-1-09
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!"
