We have been swimming a lot lately at the Apartment pool. Well two weeks ago Avery used her floaties for the first time by herself and was swimming all over the place. She made the comment when she figured it out, "I am SOOOO happy!!!"

It was one of those moments where you had to be there. But I had to record it because I will always remember her excitement when she said it! So cute.

Flat

I was changing Emily's diapers and wiping her bum when Avery walked by and saw Emily's diaper. Avery stops and says, "Emily's poo-poo is flat like a pancake! No, flat like a cookie!"

Umm...ok. Food on the brain, Avery?

Irritated

Avery, Emily and Madisen were by the front door putting on their shoes as we were heading out to the new house to clean and while Avery was putting on her shoes and helping Emily put on hers she was getting frustrated and said, " I am SOOOO irritating!"

You mean irritated??  Haha!

McDonalds!

Our little Emily doesn't talk much. In fact she only says, "Momma, Dadda, Yeah, No" (her favorite word), and occasionally I have heard her say, 'ball'.

Well this weekend as we were driving home from Mom and Bob's house we were driving, looking for a McDonald's to eat lunch at and where the kids could play for awhile to get their wiggles out. As we drove in, Emily yells out, "Mc-Don-olds!!"

We couldn't believe it! We have been trying to get her to say words and talk and one of her first words is McDonalds! That's pretty sad. haha! But it was sure cute!!

Band-aids as floating devices?

The girls were all sitting at the table eating a quick snack before we headed out to the pool. I was in the bathroom getting ready and over heard the girls talking so I had to write it down so I wouldn't forget. Thought it was pretty funny.

Avery: This band-aid that I have on my knee will help me not sink in the water.

Madisen: What?! A band-aid won't do that.

Avery: Yes, it will help me so I will float.

Madisen: No, it won't. Band-aids fall off in the water all the time. It will just fall off. It won't help you float.

Avery: No, cuz band-aids don't BREATHE!!

Fish Face

Avery loves to put her hands on each of our checks and push our face into a fish face. Tonight before bedtime she cupped Ryan's face in her small hands and said, "You are my best fish...EVER!"

Hold my hand

On our way home from our trip to Cedar City/Las Vegas to see Mom and Bob and my family the girls were about to watch a movie in the car and Madisen said that some parts of the movie scared her. Avery says to Madisen, "Madisen, when you get scared I will hold your hand. So just reach out to me and I will hold it, so you won't be scared. Ok?"

It was really sweet.
