My Comments

There are many times where the blogs of my friends or family perk a memory of mine and I type them on their comments, but I also want to keep that memory, so I copy and pasted a few of them and kept them here as a journal entry.

To Emily H. - Oh Ben cracks me up! They still give shots in his legs? You know what that reminds me of?? (for some strange reason.) When I was pregnant with Maleia (forever ago, huh?) and Haley yelled that she needed to go potty RIGHT NOW and I slipped running up your hardwood stairs while holding her. Good thing Haley's head broke the fall... poor thing. She still made it to the potty! :) And ditto on that Cinnamon roll recipe. I made it a while ago and can't make it quite like my future Catering Hero, Emily.

To Allie Hardy - Wow, lots of things going on! Moving to Dallas! Cool. Your baby's First talk in Primary. cool. I like that halfway through I hear a little "the end" in the background. Was that the little audience? :) heeheee! Dylan starts yelling "AYYYYE-men!" if the prayer gets a little long.

To The Kane Family - Awwwww. How sweet! I knew it was love when Brandon took me to the Washburn reunion and we got to shoot their guns. I love the Washburns. :) And I am way too jealous that Brooke allows a gun in the home. . . my Chapman won't let me have one.

To Lindsay B. - For some reason we were always pregnant together! :) Weird water I guess. Then there was many a playgroup at the park... oh and TRYING to play basketball at the church with all of our kids running around crazy, no... PSYCHO!! and us all trying to get our game on. What fun times, huh?

To Ashley C.- I thought you might appreciate that I just bought matching clothes for Easter on OldNavy.com and Target.com. Even B let me/helped me pick them out. Okay, so I wanted the girls in this bright yellow and I asked him if he'd wear a light yellow. He kinda gave me "that look." Like, There is no way in h-e-double hockey sticks that you will put me in yellow. So he said "what about brown?"... I vetoed that bc it wasn't "springy" enough for me and reminds me too much of a banana. So I said what about bright orange?? He was cool until he saw the selections... Not so much. So then HE suggested a navy blue. And I finally relented and bought some navy blue polos to go with our bright yellow shirts. We shall see... We might have to go back to brown. But I, like you, enjoy the somewhat matchy matchy pictures and low and behold B has either just relented and supported it OR he's just humoring me (not bad first two choices) OR he actually likes it too. He (don't tell him I told you this) will even match the kids or me when we go to church or go out somewhere and tell me what he did. :) Doesn't that just make you smile? What a great hubby. OR he secretly hates it and is just humoring me. Either way, he used to roll his eyes and grumble about it. :) So it is nice to know that I have a sister-in-law that shares my love for a good family picture!!

To Elizabeth H. - One of my favorite BYU basketball watching experience was when B and I were three rows down and a little to the left of Keith and Jake one game but didn't know it until a bad call was made and then I hear this: "C'mon, Bart! (I don't remember the name, but it was LOUD and monosyllabic. Could've been Bert.) You can do better than that! That's a bad call and you know it!" Loud, firm, and oh so true. :) I then yell, "Yeah! Listen to my uncle!" And then he makes eye contact, smiles, points, winks, and continues watching the game. I love that uncle Keith. I love BYU. I love you guys too!

To Molly C. - And this is normal with boys?? I am so not ready for my 18 month to be walking that close to the fire!!!! I remember going to your house and Haley rough housing a little with Kai and saying, "hey now. Play nice" And James runs into the room and tosses Kai 10 feet onto the couch. Kai giggles, rolls off the couch and runs at him at full speed and blows him over. James picks him up again, and throws Kai up in the air ten feet and THEN throws him back onto the couch. Totally laughing. My mouth was dropped and both of my girls clung to my legs. Scared. :) Man I love having boys!

To Emily H. - I'm praying for a great delivery INSIDE the hospital with plenty of time to get an epidural if you so wish. Also, I am thinking how beautiful that pic is below of you sleeping... the shoes make me laugh for some reason. Oh yeah! It reminds me when I needed B to take my shoes off (those that are tied anyway) when I'm 8+months pregnant and if he even smirked I wanted to give him a little kick! :) You don't just look great you look BEAUTIFULLY FABULOUS!

To Megan H. - Remember when we would hike to school together in 2-3 feet of snow? Did we actually eventually make it to school those days?? Darn Colorado and their swift snow removal!! We NEVER got snow days until the 8-10 foot snow drifts that prevented us from getting out any of the doors in our house... which was a bummer becuase we couldn't even go outside to enjoy the snow day!! Those were the days... wanna come over to play?

Kim M. -
I will pray extra hard tonight for your IVF procedure!! Good luck! These tykes really are worth it and I would do the same thing you are doing... despite the little girlie attitudes and all the poopy diapers.

Shelly B. - I laughed out loud when I saw that belly shot of London. Congrats on the BOY!!! That is so fun. Hope Ty gets home safe and that you have a very Happy Easter. And don't you worry. I also have been the one with a camera at embarrassing times for my family... like the Airport potty where Haley lost a tooth!! :)

Jamie R. - I loved the boxcar children and babysitters club and encyclopedia brown. Had every one of those books. I love the smell of gasoline bc is reminds me of motorcycling and boating with my family. Call me crazy.

Lydia S. - Go Jack! At least yours wasn't the one crying in the middle of the field bc someone stepped on a flower...

Lizbeth C. - That is so brave! Way to go moving back to UT to get his MBA. Brandon is thinking about this too... we'll see if we have the cajones. Was that a cuss word to anyone? I hope not. GOOOOOOOO Cougars!! And thanks for being such a good example of faith, because we all know you have to have a lot to do that...with three kids. We'll get there eventually. Congrats on selling the house!

Marianne M. - I saw Dylan sucking on a sucker and I asked him where he got it. Maleia chimed in, "on the floor right there!" We were in a grocery store right near the meat department. It took me .14 seconds to get it out of his mouth. Needless to say I had to buy him a new sucker when we got to the front. Mean mom. :) The thing is, he probably already sucked off the layer of germs that were on that thing. ew.

The only reason why I posted them today was because on my "edit posts" page, it was at the bottom of the page, so there will be more of these... every time it ends up at the bottom on my "edit posts" page. Stay tuned!
