The Many Words of Delia

So I don't know how many things Delia has said that I have actually posted...so Here are some that I have been writing down because they made me laugh so hard! I love this girl!

A couple of weeks ago I was sitting at the computer trying to do taxes on Turbo Tax while Delia was eating in her highchair. After getting pretty much to the end it said we owed the government quite a bit of money! What?!

Me: "Oh, no! No, no, no, no no!!
Delia: "Mom, whaz wrong?
Me: (ignoring her) "NO! This can't be right..but why?!" "Oh, no!"
Delia: "MOM! Whaz wrong!"
Me: (Still ignoring her..too upset!) "Oh, why us?! This is soooo not fair! Ahhhh!"
Delia: "Mom! You're either sick or hurt (using hand gestures) what is wrong?!!"

By this time all I can do is turn with a big smile and start laughing! She has never been so clear and direct before and made sense!! So cares so much about me!

Usually before bedtime we read some books and do cards. This particular night I was so tired and here was our conversation.

After reading 2 books:

Me: "Okay, it's time for bed"
Delia: "A, do cards!"
Me: "No, mom is too tired tonight, lets just go to bed"
Delia: "No, a do CARDS!!'
Me: "No, but how about I sing you a song?!"
Delia: "Um...how about we do cards!"
Me: (mouth open...smile forming) "Excuse me?!"

Such a Sly girl!

The last couple of weeks Delia has been sick and I know for a fact she is getting it in nursery!!! So I have been taking her temp.

Delia: (coming from the other room) "Mom? Moooom!"
Me: "what? I'm in here."
Delia: (comes into the bathroom with a temple thermometer touched to her head) "I takin' temture!"
Me: "Oh, yeah? What does it say?"
Delia: "Umm..is all better!" (and goes out of the room about her business)

She always wants to do what mommy is doing or has done! Including cleaning and putting makeup and lotion on...which results in many messy cleanups!! ;)

My baby girl is growing up! It makes me so happy and sad at the same time!

BYU Magazine article...featuring Christian, etc

So Christian has a pretty cool boss and he has a way with people and so many connections. While at a BYU alumni function, Christian's boss was talking to someone in the magazine dept. and told them about Christian's new hobby making replica Anasazi pottery and how cool it was that only 2 people in the world really know how to do it, Chris and his teacher. They said they were interested in doing an article about him. They called and got all the info (which some of it is incorrect..but hey..what are ya going to do!) and it is now featured in the Winter BYU Magazine and we even got almost a full page! I scanned a copy of it from the magazine, but it is kind of hard to read. Click on the link below and it will take you directly to the article! So cool! I am very proud of my talented hubby! I also thought it was nice that he included a picture of the whole family..very sweet. How neat to be able to leave something like this for his children!
