"Happiness does not depend on what happens outside of you but on what happens inside of you; it is measured by the spirit with which you meet the problems of life."

We were practicing the prophet and apostles picture book my friend gave us. Jack nailed President Monson, and Henry Eyring. Then said, "Deiter........(long pause)......Smoofdoorf!"
1/11
The other night a friend was saying the prayer and in the middle Jack leans over to me and says, "He doesn't even know how to say it, Mom." Then Jack had to say his own version of family prayers....the way WE say it.....
1/11
I told Jack that if he wouldn't learn to ride his new bike Santa would take it back to the North Pole. He proclaimed,
"No, Mom, I can just give it to Briggs(the next door neighbor), he needs to learn to ride one anyway!"

Me: "Did you pee your pants?"
Jack:"No, I'm just laying in a puddle and they got wet."
8/1/10
Jack: "I wish I could lick a dog."
Me: "Please don't, that would be disgusting."
Jack: "But Mom, dogs lick kids all the time."
later....after more dog licking discussion.....
Jack: "Okay, but if Moms lick kids, they're going to time-out."
7/14/10
"Mom, I just really wanna pee on a bug."
7/9/10
"Mom, chewing is for food, not friends." (after getting bitten at school by a fellow classmate)

6/10
Jack: "Mom, Brittany(the Chippette) said butt."
Me: "We don't say that word, its not nice."
Jack: "But we can say booty or hiney?"
Me: "Yep. Exactly."
5/30/10
Jack(after hearing his older cousins): "I'll punch you in the face."
Me: "Oh Jack, we never say punch, that is not nice to say."

"When I get in the Mater firetruck, I'm gonna drive away to Wal-Mart or Target and I'll see ya for tomorrow."

"It is impossible to avoid pain; you must walk through it or it will wait for you around every corner. And it is impossible to numb pain; you must experience it fully to come cleanly out the other side."
"A woman with a mother heart has a testimony of the restored gospel, and she teaches the principles of the gospel without equivocation. She is keeping sacred covenants made in holy temples. Her talents and skills are shared unselfishly. She gains as much education as her circumstances will allow, improving her mind and spirit with the desire to teach what she learns to the generations who follow her."

Ah...that last comment is from me--Mom--not Olivia. She must have been signed in to my computer.
I love reading your blog. You are amazing!
I loved your last post. You should have come to see me, I could have helped you find yourself again by taking you to Karaoke night at 25Main (just saying). K, I miss you.
lots :(
I miss you a lot! I SOOOO wish you lived here right about now. Hope things are going well. We WILL catch up soon. xoxo
You are back to blogging! That is more than i can say...that's for sure. I haven't blogged in forever! But I am glad you are back! I have been thinking of you. :)
Maybe I just need to unpack all my boxes that are sitting in the garage. Will that make me feel at home? Cause it's just not happening.
