Madi's prayers

Madi said the family prayer tonight and it was the cutest prayer, I just had to record it.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for this day.
Please bless us that we will be safe.
Please bless Emily that she won't have sores on her feet.
Please bless that we can pray better.
Please bless that we can sleep good.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

She is doing so well on her prayers and we are so proud of her!

Yellow Teeth

(Not to make great grandma feel bad but I just thought this was hilarious!)

I was showing the girls pictures from our trip down to Colorado this last weekend and the pictures of me and Great Grandma Hodges making goofy faces together. Well Madi says, "Yellow is my favorite color. How come grandma has yellow teeth? Did she paint them?"

haha! To be young, and innocent.

Heads up, Seven-up!

Christy and I were having FHE with the family the other night and we decided to play heads up Seven-up. We explained how to play the game and then we put our heads down and our thumbs up.

Soon after, I felt a little tap on my thumb, and then a huge fart from the same vicinity as the tap on my thumb.


...Avery.

So subtle.

Princess Mom

Yesterday was Mother's Day. I bought myself a new dress for Mother's Day, because well, I really wanted a new dress. :) And Avery kept telling me all day, "Mom, you a Princess!" Aww...thanks Avery! So are you!

Playing dinosaurs

Madi, Avery, and I (Ryan) were playing dinosaurs the other day and chasing each other around the house.

Madi stopped and said, "Okay, now I'm a T-Rex."

I said, "Ok. I'll be a Triceratops."

Avery smiled and said, "I'll be a bum-bum."

Red Bead

The girls were playing outside and I had just given them a Popsicle and was heading back in the house, when Madisen said, "Wait mom! I have something for you."

Me: "You do?"

Madisen: "Yeah, it's in my jacket pocket." She pulls out a little red bead. "Look, my friend Emma from school had lots of beads and she gave this one. I told her my mom likes the color red so I will give it to her."

Me: "Oh thanks Madi! That was very sweet of you."

Avery Eve

Three different conversations today I had with Avery:

Avery: What you doing mom?

Me: Going to the bathroom.

Avery: Oh, you better hurry, so you don't pee your pants!

Me: Ok. Thanks for the tip. ;)


_________

Avery: I love you mommy.

Me: I love you too, Avery.

Avery: I love you the mostest, mostest! (gives me a big hug around the neck).

Me: Awww... I love you the mostest, mostest, mostest!

________

Avery: Ah, watch out! You have a spider on your eye!

Me: LOL! No, Avery. That is just make-up. It's called mascara and it makes my eyelashes long and black.

__________

We were getting ready to walk out the door and I asked Avery, where's your coat?
Avery said, "It's up high... in the air! It's high so I can't reach it."

Apparently Carnivores aren't Animals...

We were playing animal Charades the other night and half way through the game Madi gets up and does a horse impression and Ryan guesses it right. So whoever guesses it right gets up and takes a turn being an animal. Well by that point we had already gone through 20 or more animals so Ryan started acting out a T-Rex. Madi jumps up and says, "Dad...you can't be a T-Rex! That's a carnivore!"
