(My Goofy Kids...)Lately Madison has been expanding her vocabulary. The things that come out of her mouth are quite amazing. Every day when Cory comes home work all I talk about are the funny things that Madison has said/done. I notice that a lot of the things that she says and does are exactly what Cory or myself do. I don't want to ever forget the funny things Madison does, so this is the reason for my post. The best way to lay it all out is in a list... sorry folks!
* "Get off of me Boy!" she says while Hyrum is trying to crawl on top of her. (Cory often refers to Hyrum as "Boy".
* "We were watching General Conference last weekend and she couldn't find President Packer during a session. During the session, she leans over with her face in her hands saying, "Oh no, where did my President Packer go? Oh man, I lost him!"
*While getting in the car as a family the other day Madison noticed that Cory had an "owie" on his finger. She pointed to his finger and said, "Oh shoot Daddy! Oh shoot!" We asked her what was wrong, we'd never heard her say THAT before. She said, "Oh shoot Daddy, you have an owie on your finger!" (I guess we better watch what we're saying around our home... its a good thing that's the worst thing we say when we're mad.)
*Madison was helping Cory move a family in our ward one night. As he and Madi were helping the moving truck back out she told Cory, "Daddy, Hyrum would really like this big truck!"
*Madison notices that we put baby powder on Hyrum regularly. I guess she has felt a little left out. She came to me one day (as I got a whiff of baby powder freshness) after going to the bathroom by herself, "Mommy, I went potty and then I put powder on myself!" Very proud little girl.
*Madison is HILARIOUS at night. It takes her about an hour to fall asleep after she gets into bed. She gets up, cleans her room, puts her friends to bed, read them a story, sings songs, and the list goes on and on. I have to tell you, its very entertaining for Cory and I both. We just listen to her while we are reading in the family room.... yes, she is that loud, we can hear her from down the hall. Last night I heard Madi say, "No, I said no! No, I said no!" I don't know what she was talking about but Cory just looked at me with a smile. And I had to admit that yes, that is one of the things I usually tell her during the day. Oh, how I wish I could have had her mimic something sweeter!
Throughout this past month I've realized, and been grateful for my children. Madison and Hyrum are learning and growing so fast. They are at different stages, obviously, but they are both sponges! Hyrum is just so eager to stand on his own two feet... I wouldn't doubt that he could be walking before his 1st birthday. And Madison just soaks up everything she hears and sees. It makes my role as a mother more important as I make sure to fill their ears and eyes with good things. I need to be an example of the better, not the worst. My children are precious to me, and I am continually grateful for their good health and development!

Madison says the cutest things. Your kids are so adorable. I can see Cory in Hyrum, and you in Madison. Cherish these cute moments, because before you know it they will be in school, and the things they learn to say aren't always so cute. (My son picked up swear words from his friends and uses them all the time at Sharon's house, which Sharon & Doug find funny). You are doing a great job as a mom, and I guess Cory is a pretty good dad (LOL)!

I love that you are writing down everything that she says. I know it won't be long before it is easy to forget those sweet funny things they say. I love that she calls Hyrum "boy". That just makes me laugh because I can definitley see Cory or Ronnie Pete saying that. So cute she talks to her animals and friends in her room at night. How old is she? I think she and Ava are only a few months apart.
You have inspired me to write down the things Ava says. Thanks for sharing!
Your kids are so adorable. I am glad to hear that Cory has cleaned up his lanuguage so his daughter doesn't have a swearing problem. I knew you were awesome but your influence on your husband is something to be proud. You are a great mom and your husband and kids are so lucky to have you.
Love,
Sharon
P.S. For the record, we don't find Adrienne's son swearing funny...what is funny is that he says he picked it up from home not school so Doug and I laugh b/c Age denies it. :)
What sweet kids you have, and what a sweet mother they have. Isn't being a mom the best and hardest thing you have ever done?! I go to bed every night thinking of the things I can do better. I love reading about what kids say. Their imaginations are endless and the way they interpret what we say can be hysterical! We sure are lucky to be moms to such cute kids!!
It's so scary what they pick up! I'm noticing that with Avery now! Madi is so cute! She has such a cute personality. I love all the stories, keep it up!
Okay that is a darling pic of your two little ones. And I love all the cute things she says...kids are great!!
