During an engaging game of "Go Fish" and "Old Maid"


So Maryn came up with two funnies yesterday. One I'm wishing the person next to me in the market would've heard because it struck me as really funny.

First, we were driving to the "cookie store" (Macey's Supermarket) and just previous to that we were practicing her reading before we left on the computer except the blasted internet connection kept crashing. In the car Miss Maryn said, "Mom, we're gonna have to put some elbow grease into it."

HUH??? Elbow grease into what???

We're gonna have to put some monkey elbow grease into the computer so it will work again.

AHHH!!! I understand now.

Then we got to the store and first stop go to the deli to get her a cookie. Ten steps down the aisle and she said, "These cookies are much better than yours Mom." Me hearing what I wanted to hear said, "Oh you like my cookies better...(Maryn)no, no, no Mom I like these cookies much better."

I know my punctuation is wrong but OH WELL! At least you get the drift!

FHE Faux Pas

Last week for Family Home Evening I got a lesson ready regarding Obedience because the obey/respect factor has been non-existant with our child. Repetition is the best teacher so we keep teaching this lesson over and over and over again. I had a little video clip to show so we were all gathered upstairs to view the clip. After the cartoon clip of Esther from the Living Scriptures was over Matt was trying to get Maryn to guess what we were going to talk about and she said I don't know? So Daddy started to give a hint O-o-o-o-o. Then all of a sudden Maryn shouts out OBAMA. Matt's jaw hit the floor and he was speechless. My husband is a very political guy(I'll just say more on the conservative end) so it was funny to see Matt's reaction.

Cute Sayings

Yesterday I spent a lot of time with Maryn doing things just with her. After playgroup at the library we headed for Jordan's Landing where it is plentiful with shopping. We went to our favorite shopping spot for her Old Navy (one of the few places I can find pants long enough for her but still fit her skinny waist). Usually I dread taking her shopping but she was especially funny that day. She would try on the pants we had then I would ask her to show them to me then turn around and she would do this bum pose where she would stick her hand on her bum and just turn half way around then give me these pouty lips. I was laughing so hard in the dressing room of course she would lay it on thicker.

That night I got her ready for bed and decided to make up some hot chocolate and enjoy the night out on the swing. We lit the tiki torches and enjoyed our hot chocolate cuddled under a blanket on the deck swing (I'm spoiled...I know). The moon and stars were so pretty and all of a sudden she got this shocked look on her face. She said, "Mom, someone cut the moon off". I told her sometimes the moon is a little smaller depending how the sun hits it. She told me her explanation that someone took a ladder and took a knife and cut it off. I told her, well that must be a really tall ladder and I hope we can find that piece.

We are also in the path where jets and planes fly over. One looked like it was headed straight for the moon and she said, "Oh no, that plane is going to fly right into the moon and pop it out of the sky!" Never a dull moment with Maryn around. She is always thinking and trying to figure out things.

These pictures were taken over Labor Day weekend. We took a drive around Utah Lake and ended up driving up Nebo Loop near Payson Lakes. We took a hike around the lake and enjoyed the beautiful day.
