Our five adorable children
Cute stories
We were in tithing settlement and our Bishop gets quite emotional. He and Damon are obviously close friends, and he was expressing his love and appreciation for us. He was bawling pretty good, our family was being quiet, when Jack yellls out "Your face looks funny like that Bishop"! We all cracked up laughing.
A few weekends ago, Da let me sleep in on a Saturday and he got up with the kids. Sadie came into my room close to 9 and said " mommy, you have been sleeping so long, I learned on Arthur that its bad for your body to get too much sleep" Um, don't worry Sa, I do not get too much sleep.
Today I was drinking my blessed 1 cherry coke a day and Jack saw and said, oh, pop-pop, mommy share. He ran and got a little cup, and I poured a very small amount in for him. He took a drink and said " mmmmmm.....pop-pop gooooood mommy"
Sadie came home from school this week with a picture she had made of George Washington. They had learned about him that day. I asked her, " who is George Washington?" She said " oh, he is the president of the united WHOLE states."
Da has been a student forever, and now his career is at a school. So, when he has had to leave in the morning, they have always said" we don't want you to go to school" Da has always explained that he has to go to school so our family can have money, and have the things we need. The other day ago, I overheard Maddie saying to Sadie" We are going to have so much money now Sadie because me and Dad are both going to school" (if that were only true ;) )
A couple of days ago I was fixing my hair and just kind of gave up and said whatever! Da the ever sweet husband said that I look hot everyday. Maddie said" No she's not Dad, Mom is always cold!!" The innocent child, still made us smile.
I was looking for my wallet and I asked the girls where do they think it could of possibly gone and Maddie says, "maybe its a walking wallet"
Today Sadie asks me this question" Mom, is the bery church really true?" I said yes, do you think it is? She said "ummm, no"
The other day ago I overheard the girls talking about going to school together and Sadie said "We will go to school together Maddie and than we will go to college and we will hold hands" It was so sweet.
I asked Sadie what her favorite Christmas song is, and she said "the one that says rip a bum bum bum"
Tonight Sadie asked me if she was just going to keep growing and growing until she was a person. I said you mean a grown up? and than she said yes, like a mom.
I told the girls that if they really love me they would go and make their beds. Maddie started laughing and than said " silly mommy, we'll always love you, even if we don't make our beds" What was I supposed to say to that?
I was washing Sadie's face and told her I would not be a very good mommy if I put her to bed with a dirty face and she said" Well, you are a good mommy" So sweet, made my day really
The other day ago I was changing Jack's diaper when Sadie came in eating some candy. I said, Sa why do you have some candy? You have to ask, why do you do these things? She than said, " I am just a naughty girl, I can't help it"
