Sayings of 2011...

At the suggestion of a good friend, I have decided to jot down those little things that come out of my kids' mouths that make me chuckle. I will continue to add to this list throughout the year. 

Alex:

This month we taught our girls how to play UNO. They love this game and they do very well on their own. It has taught them colors and numbers. Alex is very good at winning too. 1

Garrett likes to "trash talk" while playing any kind of game so my girls picked-up on this very quickly. It was Alex's turn and she put down a SKIP card and then very politely said, "I'm gonna skip your trash Dad!" It was so funny we couldn't continue the game for several minutes.

I told Alex to write a letter to Santa. She came back with a piece of paper with "a LETTER" on it. The letter "D" to be specific.

"Is Jesus's last name Romney?"

Alex fell flat on her face then jumped up and said, "Ole"!

Alex came up to me and said that Benton pulled her hair and it was her favorite one! She hopes it grows back.

"Mom, do I look popular?"

innocent prayers

This morning during family prayers Alex was blessing our home and food and family. Then she continued to pray and ended by asking Heavenly Father to please bless Daddy's "crap" (translation: crop). I am sure Heavenly Father has to chuckle every now and then at these little prayers.

Alex- "Mom, will you frost my toothbrush?"

Tori:

"Look Mom, I am a Lamanite." 

Tori- "Mom, I had a dream that Dad chased the robbers out of our house with his belt."

Tori and Alex were bickering and then finally Tori said, "Alex, I'm trying really hard to be like Jesus. Leave me alone.

Tori asked to see pictures of Aunt Rachel's new "dieted" hair.

Tori told me that we needed to buy "more asses". I said, "WHAT?!", and she said, "yes, Mom, we need more asses to make those cookies."  Oh...molasses!!!

"Mom, when I get older am I going to be addicted to the computer like you?"

Benton:

Benton- "Mom, will you pet me?" aka: rub my back.

Benton..."I'm gonna kiss you on the lips and marry you in the temple."

"You will die like dogs."  He's been watch the 3 Amigos.
