Four Boys and a Girl: Only Because It's Spring

Only Because It's Spring

Why is the sky so blue and clear!
Why is the robin's song so dear?
Why is the sun so warm and bright.
Filling the earth with glorious light!

Why are the fields so green today?
Why do the clouds all float away?
Why does my heart with gladness sing?
Only because it's spring!

This demonstrates to you how 'springy' I feel.

I love seeing flowers starting to poke their heads through the earth.
I love being able to open my windows and feel the breeze.
I love hearing the doves coo outside my windows.
I love driving with my car windows down.
I love wearing capris and short sleeves.
I love the smell of springtime.
I love the feeling of new life.
I love General Conference.
But most of all...
I love my family and friends!

HAPPY SPRING!

Out of the Mouths of Babes

Cole calls the sun 'nus', Evan is Ev, Mason is Nace, Ty is Ty, and Paige is usually beebee or Peej. (9-17-12)

Ty calls popcorn 'pockporn' (9-16-12)

Evan and Mason both say that soda pop is "spicy". (12-12-09)

I bought some new toothpaste for Evan and Mason. Tonight when Mason used it he said to me, "Mom, this toothpaste spices my tongue." (12-12-09)

Ty is talking so much more now. Whenever he sees a dog he says the woofing sound. When he sees a cat he says 'mauw, mauw.' Just tonight I got him to say 'titty' for kitty. (11/16/09)

Today when Rex was combing Mason's hair for church he told Rex he wanted a 'crack' in his hair (a part). (8/23/09)

A few months ago as we were driving in the car, Mason out of the blue says "Mom, I love Uncle Dru." Me: "Why do you love Uncle Dru?" Mason: "Because he holds me tight and he has the spirit." (7/15/09)

Overheard from the bathroom:
Mason: Hey Dad, My bum is like a gun. It shoots poop out. (7/1/09)

Tonight in the car we were listening to Disney music and when Ariel from the Little Mermaid finished her song, Evan said to me, "She sounds like you, Mom". I'm so glad I sound so beautiful to my son. (3/6/09)

When Mason went to my parent's house all by himself sometime before Christmas, my mom and dad took him to the hospital to see Grandpa Allred. On the ride there he asked, (note, this is how it sounds with his little lisp) 'Ith Gwampa Allwed havin' a baby?' (Is Grandpa Allred having a baby?). The only time he has been to see someone in the hospital is when Ty was born and he and Evan came to see us. (3/7/09)

Tonight our good friends Forrest and Kaarina watched our boys while we went to a fireside. Evan and Mason absolutely ADORE them. They get so excited when they know we are going to see them. So tonight was even better because they were BABYSITTING for us. In Mason's bedtime prayer (it was the first prayer he did ALL BY HIMSELF - no help from us) I couldn't understand any of his words (he mumbles them under his breath) but I did understand 'Forest and Kaarina'. I'm not sure if he was thankful for them or that they came to babysit, or that they built a fort with them but they were 'prayed over' tonight. (3/15/09)

When Mason has a bath he always has to watch the 'windmill' when the water is draining. (3/18/09)

The other day Mason was asking, again, about Grandpa Allred dying. He said grandpa was like the ants in the ground. I explained the whole casket and burial again to him and he said, 'Grandpa's like a treasure and his casket is like a treasure box.' (May 5, 2009)
