Sledding in our backyard

~ Etc.

One Saturday while the girls and I were taking a nap, Jay was busy building a sled track in our backyard.  Two hours later, it was finished and ready just when the girls woke up from their naps!  The girls had so much fun going down in their sleds over and over again.

Bijou Market & My Little Mermaid.

I don’t know about you but this week went by s-l-o-w for me, so I’m happy it’s finally the weekend! Do you have any fun plans?  I’m going to the Bijou Market, you should come too! 😉
Now, to help you start the weekend right, may I present to you…My little mermaid.

would you like some tea?

~ Etc.

one of my girls favorite thing to do is to have a tea party.  but we have one rule: we must speak in a british accent.  i don’t know how it’s started, oh alright alright, maybe because i so wish i had a british accent and it’s just an excuse for me to practice my accent in hopes that it’ll get better?  just maybe.  it just sounds so cool and sophisticated, even when one might be saying something really dumb like, “what’s her butt, i’m smiling so big right now my cheeks hurt(while she hardly looks happy), how did that taste coming out of your mouth?”  (can you guess who i’m quoting?  hint: the bachelor.)

so unfortunately you’ll have to bear my horrible accent(i wish i knew how to edit my voice out, it’s kind of embarrassing posting this) but you’ll also get to hear my girls’ adorable accents. 
disclaimer: my british accent is actually a tad better than how it sounds in the videos.  for some reason when i speak it with my girls, i subconsciously start mimicking their tones and pitches.  okay, that sounded like such a lame excuse haha, but i promise it’s true! 🙂 

so who would like to join us at our next tea paaa-teeee? 😉

hey diddle diddle

have you heard of the nursery rhyme hey diddle diddle?
hey diddle diddle, the cow and the fiddle,
the cow jumped over the moon,
the little dog laughed to see such sport,
and the dish ran away with the spoon.
and you know you’re the mother of the child
when you watch these two videos that are pretty much identical a dozen times
 and you still can’t decide which one is cuter so you post them both.

remember when we went to this b-day party last weekend?
the morning of when we were getting ready to go to the party,
adi insisted she wear a princess dress(tutu) and a crown
so that she could go dance for everybody at the party.
so in her pink princess dress and her princess crown,
we left to go to the party and as we arrived and were parking
 adi says to me,
“mommy, is there gonna be a cage where i can dance in?”
“WHAT??? …you mean stage?”
“yeah mommy, stage.”
“WHEW adi, DO NOT get those two words mixed up.”
we made her say the word “stage” many times,
before we went inside.
once we got to the party, there must’ve been at least 100-150
people there.  and instead of getting shy or scared, she said,
“look mommy! there’s the stage!!!”
and wanted to get on the stage right then to dance.
we told her to wait until we got some food and she waited patiently
and as soon as we got food and sat down, up she went to the stage.
i wish i had recorded the very beginning of it.
she walked up the stairs to the stage and was standing
behind the curtains and poked her head out first while smiling,
then she slowly walked sideways in a straight line
with one foot touching the other foot every step of the way,
with her fingers stretched out
while her head was resting on her left shoulder and looking
at the audience with a content, confident smile to the middle of the stage.
then she starts dancing.
then the song ends and she walks out of the stage the same way
she came in.  then another song starts right after.
(FYI: this video is blurry)
and the other day she was watching disney and selena gomez’s
music video came on.  after looking at it for awhile adi says,
“mommy, i’m going to be her one day.”
at this rate, i don’t doubt it one bit, honey.
and Happy Easter everyone!
i’ll be attending a graduation, throwing a baby shower,
going to as many easter egg hunts as we can
and prepare/teach a lesson on the atonement.
don’t forget to vote for me everyday!
