Tae's Baptism

I cant believe this day has already come and gone! It seems like just a few years ago I brought home my first little girl ... now she's 8 and baptized. Tae was so excited to FINALLY get baptized. She really wanted all her extended family to be a part of her big day so we decided to make the trek to Utah. It was a gorgeous day and one that we will never forget. Taeya knew how much she was loved by all the family that came to celebrate her big day with her!

Before she got baptized we took a couple pictures outside. The day couldn't have been more perfect! What a gorgeous kiddo!

I love this little girl. She's got so much spunk and personality. She is a very easy going child who loves to please people and loves to have fun. She's the first person to help out and is more than willing to help others.

Taeya picked her Daddy to baptize her. She is definitely a Daddy's girl ... she's always had him wrapped around her finger since birth!

Afterwards we had a little party at Papa Bruce's clubhouse. Unfortunately I did a horrible job at getting pictures. I did however snap this cute picture of Kai and Great Grandma Close. She loves all her Grandchildren and is so good to support us in our various endeavours.

Becky, my sister, made the long drive from St. Louis to Utah with 4 kids in tow to support Taeya. After her baptism they had to hop in the car for their 24hour straight drive back home. I love this picture ... we are all coordinated (unintentionally).

Many, many thanks to all our loved ones who made this such a special day for Tae. It was terrific and one we will never forget! Next baptism, I will take many more pictures, I promise!

From the mouths of babes

I think its interesting the way kids mix up a word, we think its cute then we begin using it in its wrong form. Here are a few of our 'new' words:

Shampoo-Panda: Kung-fu Panda

Pupcake: Cupcake

Pack-pack: Back-pack

Mow lawner: Lawn mower

We recently rented "Kung-fu Panda". The girls have had fun playing 'Karate'. Earlier today Aliya asked if she could play 'Shampoo Panda'. What I asked? 'Shampoo Panda -- ya know 'hi-ya'. Incredibly cute misunderstanding!

Today while I was getting ready for a GNO, Aliya asked if we were going to church. I said "No, today is Wednesday. Why do you think we're going to church?" Little imp replied that I only do my hair when we go to church. Sad to say but its true. Guess I need to start doing my hair more often!

One afternoon when Aliya was about 18 months, Tony had a left a few of his prescription pills out and they fell on the floor. I saw Aliya putting something in her mouth and immediately let out an "Ah hell" then went to fish it out. Taeya pipes up "All hail what Mommy" to which I replied "All hail the Queen". Swear word catastrophe averted! Its coming one of these days but luckily STILL hasn't hit us (except when they say BYU and that is worse than any swear word at our house)!

Today I got a new pair of jeans and was asking Tae if they make my bum look big or little. She spread her hands apart and said "this is fat" then spread her hands about an inch in and said "you're almost there". Thank you little turd!

As we were getting in the car to go somewhere the other day the girls kept fighting and it was driving me crazy. After I separated them and got everything calmed down I said "you girls are going to kill me". Taeya immediately said "No we wont Mom, we don't have any guns or swords". Okay fine, they aren't going to kill me just drive me to drink!

Once after a particular stinky day at our house, Aliya walked up behind me and said "mom, you have a 'roma". She somewhere picked up the word aroma. At least she was using it correctly. Sad when your three year old calls you out!

When we were planning Taeya's birthday party I asked her if she'd rather have sandwiches or pizza. She asked "which cost more money"? I told her they were about the same and that money didn't matter. She then asked "which will be easier for you"? I said probably pizza to which she replied she wanted pizza. Is she a good kid or what?

One of my friends was over with her 15 month old twin boys. One was dressed in orange, the other in red. At one point Aliya comes running in and said "the red one getting away". That is now how we differentiate between the two, the red one and the orange one!

Last night when Taeya was helping me give Blake a bath, she looked down and said "Mom, Blakes pee-pee looks like a turkey". Guess thats is an adequate description from a Kindergartner!

While I was being monitored in the hospital last year, Tae was playing with her friend Karter. Bridgette, the mom, told the girls they were going to make cookies. When Bridge pulled out the Nestle log of cookie dough, Tae informed her that those were NOT cookies. Spoiled kid didn't know cookies came pre-made!

A year or two ago, a little boy (Jackson) came over to play with Taeya and she was showing him her scooter and its "dinger thing" (bell). Jack then told her his ding-a-ling was broken. I told his dad as long as his ding-a-ling was broken, he could come play anytime!

Last night I overheard Aliya telling Taeya "you're ruining my life" all because Taeya quit reading a book to her. Oh the drama we have yet to see at our house!

At the mall Aliya kept asking her Aunt Becky to ride up and down the "alligator" (elevator) with her.

I was helping Aliya do something when Blake started to cry. I asked her if Uncle Jeff could finish and she said "No, hims too crazy". True, true!

The other night as we were eating pasta with ranch on it, Tae said "Mom, you are such a good cook. You should be on TV". Ah, gotta love her innocence!

One afternoon I told Aliya to go play for a couple minutes then when I was done getting ready we'd leave. She put her head down and stormed out muttering "oh you are terrible"!
