Funnies by Jenna

Jenna has been saying the funniest things lately and I had to record a couple!

David left to the Philippines Thursday and all 3 nights he has been gone Jenna has been in bed with me.  It has been a real treat for her!  2 nights she started in my bed and the 3rd night she walked in the middle of the night sometime.  The first night when I said she could sleep with me she was SOOO excited!  She started throwing off pillows and even threw off David’s pillow, leaving only mine on the bed.  I asked what pillow she was going to use.  She said “I am going to sleep on yours!”  Oh, really?  I said “no, this is my pillow.  You have to sleep on Dad’s pillow.”  She said in the cutest voice, “but I want to snuggle!”  Haha!  I am not the snuggling type in bed!  I told her she had to sleep on Dad’s pillow.  So she grabbed it off the floor put it on the bed, almost overlapping my pillow and laid down clear over on my side of the bed right next to me.  So we snuggledSmile

 

Yesterday at Ream’s Grocery store I was getting last minute food items for our dinner today, Hawaiian Haystacks.  We got to the Chinese isle where the Chow Mein noodles were.  Alyssa said excitedly when we got them that if you ate those you could speak Chinese!  Jenna’s eyes got big and she was so excited!  The rest of the time in the store Alyssa was saying Chinese words and Jenna was repeating them.  It was so funny!  Then this morning before church Jenna remembered about the Chinese noodles.  “Oh yah mom, when I eat dinner I am going to speak Chinese!”  I seriously could not bear to crush this cute, innocent thought so I went along with it! Then as we were getting food on the counter she reminded me again about eating the noodles and speaking Chinese so I decided to humor her and took a couple and put them in my mouth.  Then I started counting in Chinese!  The look on her face was priceless!!  So when she sat down with everyone else at the table and started to eat her food she said so disappointed “I can’t speak Chinese!”  It was so funny!  Unfortunately she is very gullible like her mother!

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

Image
I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
