Funny Prayer

I know, prayers shouldnt be funny, but when your almost 4 year old is saying it- well, it can be! First, let me explain that last October Kylee went to a birthday party and got this cool balloon. She had left it in the car, and when we opened the door, it went flying away. I felt awful! I told Kylee that Heavenly Father and Jesus would hold on to it up in Heaven (which brought on a bunch of deep conversations I was hoping to avoid until she got older). I thought she had forgotten about it, until the other night when she was saying the prayer to bless the food. She said "I cant wait to have my balloon." At first I thought maybe she was talking about this balloon from this party, but quickly thought she couldnt be thinking about that... how could she even remember it? But when we asked her what balloon she was talking about she said "the one from Andrew's party." We had a great laugh about that. She really is so smart and remembers EVERYTHING... Which scares me actually. 

Luke's new moves

Two days ago Luke started crawling forward... but not with his knees. He moves like he's doing the worm. Its really funny to watch. I have been trying to post the video I took, but its not been working for some reason. And today he started holding his bottle all by himself. THANK GOODNESS! Hes just shy of 8 months and all of this new stuff is coming on pretty quickly. 

Kylee

She is the funniest little girl! Right now she's really into playing pretend. She just came up to me and said "do you know how kitties say 'I love you'? They lick each other." And then she licked me. Shes been licking my arm and face all night. As gross as it is, it does put a smile on my face. 

The other funny thing she does is when she talks, she moved her eyebrows up and down. Its so dang funny to watch! 

Retired

We retired the Bumbo cos Luke gets out of it easily. We decided to return it and get a portable high-chair which Luke tried out tonight. His appetite is slowly coming back. He wouldnt eat anything while he was sick with a cold this last month. I am so glad he's feeling better (even though he still has a nasty cough)

Roswell Zoo

The Roswell Zoo is free, and limited on animals, but still very cool. Kylee had so much fun! Here are some pictures from our visit today. 

goofy ky

weeeeeeeee.....

ky was afraid of this lion drinking fountain. rhett had to put in his head so she would.

my little buddy

this lama was hysterical! it was way back in the corner and when it saw us approaching it ran over to us. it kind of freaked me out cos i thought it might attack us, but i guess he just wanted to say hello. it chased kylee around when she would run. she got the biggest kick out of him running after her.

kylee teasing the lama

this fox's name is rhett. we couldnt pass up showing you this!

peacocks just wander around wild at the zoo. kylee loved feeding it bread... not sure we were supposed to.

i was really fascinated by this beautiful white rooster. 

we have no clue what this is, but we figured that a bunny must have mated with a goat or dog or something. the sign said its actually a rodent. gross!

A New Toy

We went to a play date yesterday at McDonalds and Kylee got a new dog from her Happy Meal. She already has one she's named Buster. When I asked her what this new dogs name was, she paused and then said "White Blacky." I couldn't help myself but to laugh, and then asked if maybe we should pick another name out for him. His new name is Buddy. The funny thing is that hes brown and tan. Could you just imagine Kylee calling his name in public and people staring as if we're racist? Rhett and I had a big laugh about it last night.
