Today the kids and I went to a funeral. A speaker got up and Tyson excitedly came over and said, "It's the prophet Mom!!" I told him it was Brother Kay but he was quite insistent and I couldn't convince him otherwise
T: Why do we have bridges?
M: So we can go over the water. If the bridge wasn't there the cars would have to go through the water and they're heavy so they would sink to the bottom of the water.
T: Jesus isn't heavy
M: Oh yeah? Why's that?
T: Because he doesn't sink on water
(different day - apparently he wasn't satisfied with the bridges explanation last time)
T: Why is there a bridge there?
M: There has to be a bridge so that traffic on the freeway doesn't stop
T: Heavenly Father can't hold up the road
M: Oh yeah?
T: Yeah, but superman and batman can
T: Henry is making a mess
M: It's ok. It's Henry's room. He's allowed to make a mess.
T: He's making a mess with blood.
After that comment, I had to go investigate. Poor Henry had a bloody nose and was in his sister's crib and was dripping everywhere. There was blood everywhere. Thank you Tyson for telling me. There were a few other kids in the room and they were all just staring.
Lexi gets put in time-out for biting me. Thayne asks her after why she was it time-out. She says, "I bite mommy." We didn't know she could say that or understood much for that matter.
Tyson says so many funny things. I'm going to try and do a better job of recording them. Hopefully you can all get a laugh out of reading his little funnies.
Tyson sometimes has nightmares. We say a prayer and tell him to think of something happy. His happy thoughts are grandma and grandpa's houses and chuck e cheese. He thanks Heavenly Father every night for Disney World's rides.
I'm trying really hard to be more patient with my kids. I don't know why this is so hard for me to stay patient. I always thought I was patient but my kids have taught me that I'm not. I feel like I'm not one of those super motherly people but I want to be. I want to always be loving and patient with them but it is soooo hard.
Lexi and Tyson in their new Sunday clothes from grandma and grandpa. They got the clothes for their birthday but the first Sunday they could wear it was on Easter so they looked extra good that day.
We had some friends that invited us to join them in their St. Patrick's day treasure hunt. It was so fun. I think we'll do this every year. The kids went outside to play after the treasure hunt and got soooo dirty, especially little Aelyn. 
Lexi is such a dirty little child. She is a mess after every meal. She loves to eat like a dog but not because she knows how a dog eats. I think she just tries to be efficient and thats how she eats the quickest. Crazy girl! Here's a couple pictures of her love of being dirty.
This is seriously how she looks after most meals.
Poor Lexi cut off the tip of her finger about 6 weeks ago and we had our first ER visit for our family. 10 minutes before it happened I jinxed myself by telling a friend we had never been to the ER. We were at dance class which is in the primary room at church and Lexi found scizzors and cut the fingerprint of her finger off herself! Her fingers were really swollen for about a week and burst the capillaries in between her fingers. I think she'll have bigger scars from that then she will have from the initial owie. She was a trooper through it all. I think it scared Tyson a little bit. He was so good at the hospital. We only watch movies at our house and don't have PBS or Disneychannel and he was glued to the TV. He could have stayed there all day.
Tyson wrote this all by himself. That's a waterfall on the right. He insisted it be in his note to daddy.
