Out Of The Mouth Of My Babe




He just says the funniest things. The other day we walked up a long road and on our sleds, took a long steady ride back. We gained a little speed and crashed at the end of our ride. That was awesome and a ton of fun "my handsome fella" I say. Mom he says seriously, call me Eli, the doctors and officers all call me Eli. ( who are the
doctors and officers ? ) Sunday Amanda, Lynzi , Eli and I all go the small town of
Vernal for a great day of shopping, laughing, and of course eating. We picked a place before we got into town and had fun saying what we all were going to order. So we were crushed and just a little disapointed when we pulled in and it was closed. Well it was sunday. Lets find a new place we decide. But, but, but Eli say's in a loud and excited voice - just call them on your phone and tell them to come down and OPEN THE DAMN DOOR !! Laughing so hard - can't breath. Lynzi( 7 yrs old )calmly says, thats just what beavers build, it's not a bad word. My little 4 year old saves the day - one morning he say's mom I think I will start calling you my Sweet Heart Momma. It just does'nt get any better than that.

    I love your pictures! Especially the one of your husband and son. Kids do say the "darndest" things! I'll never forget when my oldest son (now 22) was about 5, we were fishing and he caught a small fish and it was splashing all around while he tried to decide how to take it off the hook. He looked straight at the fish and said, "You ba...rd"! We were shocked to say the least! And honestly, we don't know where he heard it.
