Adventures with Potty Mouth and Diva

I think those are going to be my new monikers for the older two. I mean seriously...the things that come out of those two mouth's, its ridiculous. Hmm...lets start with the potty mouthed Emry...

She's pretty cute right? Earlier this week, she was um, sittin' on the potty and she came out after a long while  and said "WHEW! I really had to go the the bathroom mom, and my tummy was just really hurting and it melted my poop!"

Yup. girlfriend had diarrhea. Ick, I know...but her logic and the fact that she even thought about why her poo was different just killed me. what a weirdo that child is...

Next...we have this little teenager, er, I mean FIVE YEAR OLD. Mizz Mailey Anne..on thursday we were driving down to the giant farmers market to do some outreach when Mailey piped up from the back of the van in a very decisive and matter of fact voice stated the following.

"Mom when I turn into a teenager I'm going to make you crazy and drive you up the wall."

John and I just looked at each other for a moment in disbelief then proceeded to crack up and inform her we were NOT very keen on that little prophesy and she should in fact re-direct her ambitions..gooooood grief, that girl makes me crazy..

And there you have it...a pretty typical day with these two lovelies.

Hope you're all having a good weekend...do something fun this week with your kiddo's! Mailey starts kindergarten next week! Can you even stand it?! OH MY!

It's a small world after all...

My heart is so full and aching right now...I can't wait to see Mailey and Emry after a week of them being gone...where have they been you ask?
Well....quick! Go check HERE to find out!!!!! Go! Go!
And in case you need more prompting...Here are a few pictures to wet your appetite...Go look through the last four posts...they'll give you a giant dose of joy to get through your day!

Oh Mailey...Mailey....

(loud shrieking wails from Emry)
Me: whats going on you guys?
Em: Mailey hit me in the head!
Me: Mailey did you hit her?
Mai: Yes.
Me: Hitting is mean Mailey! We never hit!!!
Mai: sometimes hitting is nice mom
Me: Hitting is NEVER nice
Mai: Yes, sometimes hitting is nice for my hand.

okay, seriously. How do you not laugh. I mean come on, I've totally  been there, when someone (cough...my KIDS) is driving you nuts and like you can literally feel your hand just longing to smack them very very hard. ha ha ha...oh my goodness. So I sat there with an incredulous grin on my face for about five seconds then marched her little audacious self to the bathroom to test her theory.

Mailey and Emry...conference week.

So! Conference was last week, the forty year celebration. Forty years!!! Can you believe it?! And it was one of the most powerful, breathtaking, heart stirring, (add all sorts of marvelous adjectives here) events that have ever taken place in my lifetime. Maybe I'll write about it in another post. But this one is for Mailey and Emry. They spent those eight days with my family, and my, I don't know how soon I can let them go that long again. It was such a blessing for them to see their papa and nana, but my heart ached and ached for them. They got to spend one of the days with Heather and another one with The Gash Girls :) Rainey sent me some pictures they took and I thought I'd share, the really really stunning one of Em was taken by the notorious Joe Gash, its gorgeous so I thought I'd post. (Thanks Joe, you're the best red headed boy ever!) And THANK YOU Rainey and Des, you guys make little children's and harried mama's lives, so much better! we love you!!!


THE CLASSIC EMRY NEEDS A NAP FACE...


SUNDAY SCHOOL!!! These pictures made me so happy...Mailey misses her little friends so much, and holy moly! they've grown SOOOO much!!!


Taylor :) I miss that little girls darling raspy little voice...look how cute they are!!


Bob the turtle was quite the radical hit! My girls have been begging for a bob the tomato turtle since they got back! I love love love this picture, it totally captures the essence of little imaginations.


Okay, someone get that girl some mousse, or hairspray, or something!!


Ah Mailey, posing for pictures is one of her favorite past times, what a nerd that lovely child is. WHAT a nerd.



THIS is the picture Joe took. don't you just love it?! BEAUTIFUL!!! ( Emry, not Joe ahahaha)



Either this is a very small hat, or Emry's hair is taking over the world!!!!
