We were on our way to church {late as always, 9:00 church is KILLING me} and Abbey asked if we were late.

"YES!" I said
haha!

I was explaining to Abbey that Harvey has RSV and what that means. She looked at me and said,
"I wish I could have that for him." It was one of the sweetest, most tender things I've heard. Abbey loves her baby brother and would do anything for him.

Makayla had her shirt on her head today
{and didn't want to put it on}
"I'm showing my nips!"--Makayla...honestly, where does she get that? WHO says that??
About 30 seconds later, "I farted." --Makayla
{she loves announcing that lately. She used to be embarrassed...lately, not so much}

She's a CLASSY gal, that Jo!

Abbey came out at about 10:30 {after being in bed since 9} to use the bathroom. RJ went in to check on her, and she had his glasses in her hand?? He asked her what she was doing with his glasses and she just stared at him. She grabbed the toilet paper, used the last square to wipe, and without tearing it from the roll, flushed it down. The whole roll started to follow! She got up and went back to bed, all without a word!

RJ had recently had a PPI{Personal Priesthood Interview} with Abbey, and they set some daily goals. He was telling Makayla at FHE that next Sunday she was going to have a PPI with daddy. Sunday came, they had their PPI, Makayla came out and said,
"PPI's are DUMB!"
"PPI's are done?"--mom
"NO, PPI's are DUMB. I'm not doing that again."--Makayla
Apparently it wasn't as fun as she was expecting.

Makayla, "Why?"
Mom, "Because your breath stinks."
Makayla, "I LIKE my breath!"

"Does anyone know something really sticky"-Bro. Guerisoli

This is so cute because her papa makes her "sticky popcorn" AKA marshmallow popcorn and it is her favorite thing, and it's VERY sticky.

I was watching Harry Potter the other night, after Abbey had gone to bed. Makayla was up late {she napped that day}

"Harry Potter"--mom
Daddy walks in
"What's he name dad? That Teeter Totter?" -Makayla

"Professor MgGonnagal"--mom
"MgGonnagal?"--Makayla
Asks again MgGonnagal's name--
"What is her name?" --mom
"I don't know... Grandma??" --Makayla
This girl cracks us up--
Good ol' Teeter Totter {AKA Harry potter!!!} Ha

Everyday--

"That looks good!" --Halle

"It's a kind of Rootbeer, but it tastes better going down your throat!"--Abbey
Yes, she has inherited my love for DP and Yes, she really has tasted it...just a sip here and there

Winter 2008
This is too funny so I need to write it down. Broc and Julie adopted a darling baby boy last August. He's African American and Abbey never seemed to notice or at least never said/asked anything about it. Broc and Julie were babysitting Abbey and Makayla and Abbey was playing with baby Tyler. She looked up at Julie and {very matter-of-factly} says,
"Well, it looks like you are going to have a brown baby!"
So funny! Like she was just waiting for his skin to turn light and decided it just wasn't gonna happen!

Last few days {April 10-12}
"She lookes so DAPPER!"--Abbey
and this is a good thing. She says it when her barbies are dressed up fancy.

Potty training week- {March 25-April 1}
Everytime Makayla sits on the potty and looks down to see pee trinkling in the toilet
"I got POTTY POWER!"- Makayla

April 1st
Makayla is sitting by me and lets a HUGE, squeaky toot.
"Whoa tooters!"- mom
With a very concerned look, "I poop!"- Makayla
Run to potty
outcome: Makayla's first Shart :)

March 23
Abbey watching American Idol with me--{In her most "adult" voice}
"He is such a TALENT!" --Abbey Mathews
It cracks me up, she takes bits and pieces of things we say, and puts it together in her own unique way.

February 23, 2009
Trying to get Makayla to take a nap
{and she wasn't happy about it}

"I not talking to you mom!" --Makayla
"Why because you're mad at me?" --Mom
"Yup!"--Makayla

{Then, of course, she continues to rattle on and on and on...and finally falls asleep--an hour later!}
