Haylee funnies...

Haylee has brought such joy and hilarity to our lives I cannot even begin to tell you. I decided I had better start blogging some of the funny things she says. She is so bright and that makes her all the funnier.

Here are some classics just from the last couple of weeks:

While I was braiding her hair after her shower and before she went to bed she was watching TV and a Barbie commercial came on. The commercial was showing various Barbies doing different things, being a vet, a chef, etc., Haylee watches for a minute and the commercial shows a Barbie, with the help of a little girl of course, take a cake out of her Barbie oven and Haylee says to me in her give me a break kind of voice,

"You gotta be pretty good with a Barbie to make it pick up a cake!"

Cracked me up! Mattel should realize not every six year old girl gets sucked in to their tricky advertising. I mean really have you ever tried to have a Barbie get a tiny cake out of a tiny oven?

Then while doing her math last Wednesday she does the bottom half of the worksheet before the top. In my doing my best imitation of a teacher thinking I am analyzing why; does she like the vertical problems on the bottom better than the horizontal ones on the top? Does she find it easier? I ask her why she did it that way and she says:

"That's how I roll."

Again I'm dying.

Yesterday she had a doctor appointment because she has been having headaches so I just wanted to make sure it wasn't anything to worry about. While the doctor is questioning her the doc asks her when her headaches occur, in the morning, before bed? Haylee's answer:

"They happen at random times."

The doctor laughed and asked her if she was sure she was six and not twenty! :) I hear that a lot!


She sneezed really hard yesterday and said:

"I sneezed so hard I think I sprained my throat!"

Driving on base she saw some contractors working on the road she said:

"That guy was cute!"
me: "Should we turn around so you can get his number?" (joking!)
her: "Yeah!"
me: "You know you're not allowed to date until you are sixteen"
her: "WHAT?!? Now I'm never gonna find true love!"

Honestly that kid KILLS me! :)
I love this girl!

Welcome to the new blog!

I have decided to stop blogging on livejournal and switch to this one. I hope I keep this one updated more!

We are doing good. The kids are getting really big! Literally. Sierra is only about a half an inch shorter than me and HD is getting there too. The kids are still homeschooled and enjoy it a lot. HD is busy coaching soccer, Sierra is taking piano, and Haylee is taking gymnastics and playing soccer. They keep me hopping driving them and their friends all over the place. :) We had a busy summer. D and Sierra both went to camp. The kids and I all took a trip to Utah to see my little sister graduate from high school. Then the girls and I went back to Utah/Idaho the end of July for my Aunt and Uncle's 50th wedding anniversary. It was so much fun! I got to see almost all of my family from my dad's side. It is something I will never forget! We also bought a new boat! We bought a boat last summer and fell in love with the water and all the fun activites that entails. We sold that boat and bought another one last month and have been going like crazy! I think last weekend was the first weekend since the beginning of June that we have not been on the water! The weather is cooling off so we have a few more times out this year and plan to make the most of them.

I better get going it is late and I need to get to bed. Tomorrow is another busy Saturday. Hope you are all doing well. Please leave comments and let me know you were here! :)
