Do you know why Santa is REAL?

Elizabeth: Mom do you know why I know that Santa is REAL?

Me: No, why?

Elizabeth: Because you aren't rich enough to buy all of those presents so he has to be real!

Me: Well that makes sense!

Elizabeth: Ya I know...And that means that the Easter Bunny is real too, because the stores are all closed at night so you don't have enough time to buy the stuff for the easter baskets...And we aren't rich!

I love kids and the way they think!!!

My Sweet Girls

We are getting ready for a baptism this morning and this is how our conversations went.... Elizabeth: "Mom can't you just wait until I'm eight?" Me: "I can't wait, are you excited?" Elizabeth: "Oh yes I want to get baptised...now... what happens when I get baptised?" Me: "Well you become accountable for everything you do and you become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!" Elizabeth: "Oh I want to be a new member and be introduced....(Long pause)...but does that mean I have to stop yelling at Abby?" Me: "Yes, Why don't you stop yelling at her now!" Elizabeth: (LONG PAUSE)...."No I can wait when I'm 8!" Me: "Abby you are so pretty. Do you know that you are so pretty?" Abby: "Yes I do!"

Me: "How do you know that?"

Abby: "I just am!"

I love these two so much and I didn't want to forget these two conversations!

Elizabeth is 7

Yes I know she has been 7 for a while now and I know that I'm a bit behind but... Anyway Elizabeth turned 7 on Feb. 28th and it was a good day. We asked her what she wanted to do this year and she wanted to go to Pirate Island. (that is a place here in Utah that is sort of like Chuck E. Cheese but in a pirate theme, and yes they all spoke in pirate talk) Anyway her birthday landed on Monday so on Saturday we had all the Cousins and Aunties and Uncles come and My mom and Grandpa Ford came to our house for cake and ice cream and of course presents! It was so fun to have everyone there. She was so happy that Henry's dad could come! She was hoping that Henry could of come but well you can't have everything.I made her a princess cake that I worked on the night before and let me tell you it's harder then the pictures on the box say it is!On Monday we went to Pirate Island with just us and my sister Celeste. She loved it we ate then played the games. Celeste ALWAYS wins so yes of course she won like a thousand tickets and Elizabeth and abby got to pretty much pick what they wanted. Elizabeth to my dismay picked a harmonica which let me tell you gets real annoying real quick, and Abby picked a little stuffed horse. Which she calls baby horsey and just last night she said it turned 8 and needed to get baptized!

Also on that Monday Josh and I went to Elizabeth's school and took cupcakes for the class and got to tell a little bit about Elizabeth to her class. Elizabeth knew I was coming but she was so surprised when Josh showed up also. You should of seen her she was so excited to be the one spotlighted in her class and she beamed when we told them little things about her. We told the class that she loved rocks and so one little boy gave her a rock for her birthday! Yes it is already starting!!! I have finally also finished her video but my computer is having problems with it so I will have to show it another post.
