Two Visits and a Goody

Delaney has begun smiling and it simply warms our hearts to see.

Can you even believe she's TWO MONTHS OLD already???

I love when friends come to visit. So I know they're mainly coming to see the baby and not me, but I still LOVE IT! Here is Audrey visiting from Utah coming to meet Baby Delaney. Congrats Audge Podge, for getting into BYU-I. I know you're way excited and going to love college life! Thanks for the visit, sweetie. It was so good to see you. Love you!

And then there's my Lizzy Lou. I have known this beauty since she was... oh.. maybe 6 or so? And now look at her, all grown up and graduated from high school. How did that happen? Liz used to babysit for me when the girls were little and was always my favorite babysitter. You're the best, Liz, and I'm so proud of you. Thanks for coming over and making my day.

I love you.

Not that I didn't love Liz with all my heart already, but now I love her even more! Look what she brought me! I don't know how the heck you knew, Liz, that cheesecake is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! And from Sweet Life. Oh man. How can a woman resist???

Life is good.

And for your viewing pleasure... my 2 month old *gasp* is happy and kicking!

rachel said...: Kirsten, I love that you refer to her as "my baby". Love you to pieces!

Jules, the peanut gallery!??! I laughed out loud! Did you hear what Mo was asking? Did you hear Liv's response??? THAT'S the funny part.

Mo: Mom, what happens if you go bankrupt? (where she got this, i do not know. i can only guess from playing monopoly...)
Liv: Your life is practically over.

Well put, Liv.

Margaret, Livvy answered your question for me.

And Jen. I believe, if I calculated correctly, cheesecake cost me 10 pts. And well worth it!

{June 2013} Watching her favorite movie Lemonade Mouth, Delaney declares she wants to change her name to Stella. I asked her if I should start now calling her "Stella"? "No", she decided... "I'll change my name when I'm older."

{October 2012} Christian age 6 "My teacher says we can't pick our boogers. That sucks!"

{September 2012} Delaney age 4 "Thank you for making a real dinner, Mommy."

{September 2012} Morgan age 13 "I want to marry a Canadian with an Irish accent."

{May 2012} As Christian went to fetch popsicles for our sore throats, Delaney exclaimed, "Bubba's a good man!"

{December 2011} Delaney: My sexy and my know it!

{August 2011}

Christian said to Delaney, "I love you so much. Don't grow up!"

Delaney responds with panic in her voice, "I not BLOW up!!"

{April 2011}

Delaney pronounces her v's as b's, so TV is TB, movie is moobie...

{April 2011}

Morgan - "My sandwich broke in half so I had to tape it back together with peanut butter."

{April 2011}

Morgan - There's smart and then there's MORGAN smart!"

{May 2010}

Delaney pronounces "Morgan" as "Middy"... cute! Olivia was making fun of it relating "Middy" to "MEDIEVAL" emphasis on the EVIL. Morgan struck back by saying, "At least I'm MID-evil and not FULL-evil!"

{April 2010}

Christian's prayer today had these two sweet phrases in it: "Bless Delaney to laugh and to hug me" and "Bless Jesus Christ to love us."

{March 2010}

Morgan: Mom, what's the hardest job in the world?

Mom: Being a mom.

Morgan: Oh. I thought it was being the President of the United States' wife.

{March 2010}

Yelling out the open window to cars driving down the road: "Cars. Why are driving? Are you going home? Hey car! See you later."

Carly {November 2009}

After being taught the phrase, "That's what she said!", Carly mistakenly said, "She said that!" instead.

LOL

Not the same effect, unfortunately.

Christian {October 2009}
Buckling into our seats on the Star Tours ride in Disneyland, Christian ever so casually asked me, "Am I going to die?"

Grandma Sally {September 2009}
Mom and I were sitting at dinner one night chatting about shoes. She was trying to remember the name of a specific brand... it went a little something like this:
Grandma Sally: What are those shoes called? They're plastic. Gators?
Rachel: Crocs??
Gators... Crocs... same same, right?

Morgan {Jan. 2009}
I made brown rice with dinner one night and added a bit too much water, making the rice very sticky. Martin commented that it's okay that way... the more water in it helps it to digest faster in our systems. Morgan commented, "Oh. That's why pee comes before poo!"

Olivia {Jan. 2009}
Morgan made a comment about Indians (Native Americans) and Olivia corrected her by saying, "Morgan, Indians are from India. Native Americans are the ones with the feathers right here". (right here was demonstrated with two fingers over her head.) Good thing she corrected her politically incorrect sister!

Christian {Jan. 2009}
"Dis is bewy good! Dis is bewy bewy yummy in my tummy!"

Morgan {Jan. 2009}
Referring to a person of Hispanic origin: "Spanishkin"

Morgan {Jan. 2009}
I asked Morgan to get the Quaker oats from the pantry. Not knowing what exactly I was talking about, she asked, "Is it the can with the English man on it?" We laughed at that comment... so to correct herself, she asked, "Or is it Lewis or Clark??"
