I love these girls!

August 4, 2008 - My brother and his family have been in town for the past couple days and it has been so great to see them. Brooke's sister Christine got married and Tim and Brooke blessed their little Kennedy. I know they have been crazy-busy, but I have been so grateful to spend time with them.

Here is little Tylar enjoying the summer in the shade. She is growing like crazy!

Brooke's grandparents have a little pony (among other farm animals) and invited us over for a ride. As you can see, Aniston stuck with the "smallest" horse. I thought that she would really enjoy riding a real horse (and she probably would have), but she did not want anything to do with it. She really used to be fearless, but gets spooked a lot easier these days. Who am I to say that she has to ride a real horse. I told her we were going to go ride a horse and she did just that and had a great time.

Words of Wisdom

Tylar was intrigued with Siri's "pelican" after she was born. Pelican = Umbilical cord
During Christmas time Tylar began to end her prayers "In the name of baby Jesus Christ, amen."
While reading scritures before bed, Aniston asked, "Why were Laman and Lemuel mean?" Daddy replied, "Because they hit and said bad things." Aniston thought about that and asked, "Potty talk?" Daddy chuckled. Aniston quickly reprimanded him by saying, "Potty talk is not funny!" At that point, Daddy completely lost it and Aniston started to giggle too. **Lesson: Sometimes potty talk IS funny!
"I went on a bus to see Jesus." Yes, these are the exact words that came out of Aniston's mouth as we passed a school bus. I wasn't sure exactly what she meant so I asked, "What?" She replied, "I went on a bus to see Jesus, but he wasn't there"......It took me a moment to realize what she meant. When we went to the Draper temple open house, we did indeed take a bus up to the temple....amazing! Not wanting to miss out on a great teaching moment I explained that the temple is Jesus' house and he was there, but we just didn't see him. She thought about that for a moment and said, "Yeah." (April 2009)
*** While Austin was singing a beautiful rendition of "Oh Aniston" from the living room, Aniston called from the bathroom while going potty, "Stop singing! I need some privacy!" (October 2008)
*** I was not in the mood to make a gourmet meal for dinner, so I went for pancakes and fruit. While we were eating Aniston got a particularly sour green apple and said, "This dinner is disgusting!" Austin replied, "It's not disgusting, it's fantastic!" Aniston shot back, "It's not fantastic!" Austin asked, "Well, what would you call it?" Without a moment's hesitation Aniston announced, "Skunk poop!" (October 2008)
