December 25, 2011 - Christmas Dresses

December 25, 2011 - I wanted a quick picture of the girls in their matching Christmas dresses. Here's our first try...

And here is our second and final try....Merry Christmas!

A year ago I spent all Christmas day breathing through contractions so we could meet this adorable bug...Oh how we love her!

Say CHEESE!

Our little Siri bug has the most kissable cheeks!

If you look close you can see some stitches in my cheek. Throughout 2011 I have spent A LOT of time at the hospital. As a result of three surgeries to re-open my airway and having a BRAVO and EGD procedure to see if there was something going on in my stomach/esophagus that may be contributing to the stenosis in my airway, (and as a result of the EGD and biopsy of some tissue I was also diagnosed with Celiac disease in November) I have met my out-of-pocket for the year. That being the case, I have spent the last two months doing all that I can because I don't have to pay for it...hence the stitches to fix up a scar that I have always hated.

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)
