Cookies

Chani: Emery, I got you a cookie.
Emery: Are they homemade?
Chani: No, they are home boughten.

You are only as old as you feel.....

The other day Clint was eating some nibs ropes (yum) and started to cough. He said he swallowed wrong and I asked why he did that. Chani, who it seemed was oblivious to what was going on piped up, "Because he's old!"

I know what work is!

This was written in 1990.  But still so very true (except for diaper pins).

spring haircuts!

We went to see our friend Nikki to get some haircuts on Friday.  We love them!

Easter

It was sort of a rotten Easter Weekend for us.  I woke up Saturday morning with strep throat, so off to Instant Care I went.  When I got home, we dyed some eggs and I took a nap.  While I was napping Chani rode her bike (now without training wheels, but that's another post) right off the front porch.  She was lucky to only have a bloody knee instead of a broken leg.

Sunday morning the kids woke up to baskets and hidden eggs.  Clint convinced Emery that his hollow chocolate bunny was really a vehicle for milk (it would be chocolaty he said) but it wasn't that chocolaty, it was just messy. Both kids got a little Lego set (yay for girl legos) and some bubbles and sidewalk chalk.

 
Sunday afternoon, right before church, Clint was struck with the stomach flu.  The kids and I loaded up for Church and we were nearly there when Emery said, "I think I'm going to puke."  So, we returned home where I deposited him in the care of his sick dad.  Church was lovely (except for being 10 minutes late).  After church, we returned home to a still sick dad, and a perfectly fine and healthy Emery.  Our friends had invited us for dinner and an egg hunt, so I took Emery and the girls to that.  It was so nice (but we missed our dad).  Thanks for the fun time Waddell Family!

Because of the sickness, there is only one picture of new Easter clothes.  Saya and Chani have matching skirts and sweaters in pink and purple.  I also made a new skirt, and on the next nice Saturday or Sunday, we'll do some make up Easter pictures.

Saturday is a special day.....

I love the first weekend in April.  It means that we get to enjoy General Conference.  It's always filled with excellent messages from our church leaders. 

I had a bag of candy and I told the kids if they listened to a talk and could tell me what it was about when it was over, they could have five candies.  Chani told me she knew what the previous talk was about.  She said, "He talked about the dangers of the world."  I asked, "What are they?"  Chani said, "Um........bears and, uh, lions."

While Clint and I were listening, Emery was outside with his kite.  He was able to get it up into the air all by himself.  It was perfect kite weather, just a bit breezy.  Chani's kite is broken, she was very sad.  Maybe new kites will be delivered via the Easter Bunny!
