Aspen is 5!!

I know I posted about Aspen's birthday, awhile ago, but I wanted to add some of my favorite pictures of Aspen through the years. (Because in our book this was a big birthday for her and us.) The night before Aspen turned 5, I had a bit of a melt down (ok so actually it started in May, everytime I would think about it I would cry I know-I am a dork ) I had a really hard time with the fact that she is 5 and starting kindergarten. I feel like now it is out of my control she is going to be exposed to all sorts of scary things and people, and I have to hope and pray that I have done my best at home to instill in her the things she should and shouldn't do and or say. AAAHHH!! It is so scary! Aspen will LOVE going to school and it is something she will thrive at, so of course I am excited for her. I just wish I could go with her everyday and proctect her! I didn't think I would have a hard time with this and used to laugh at others when they cried when their kids started school--BUT here I am getting emotional just typing about it!!

I can't believe 5 years ago we were expecting our first baby. It was something we had longed for for quite a few years. I remember when she was born, we couldn't believe how big her cheeks were! She was a great baby, she was so easy going and would go to anyone!

A little dirt never hurt anyone!

At Aunt Angela's wedding.

Aunt Holly's flower girl!

Not much has changed she still loves to get dirty!

As I look at all of these pictures I can't believe how much she has grown and changed! We love having Aspen in our family she is a great BIG sister and is always looking out for Brylee and Porter! Aspen loves drawing and cutting out pictures, right now her favorite thing to do is make pictures for Brian and put them in envelopes and tape them to the door so he will find them when he comes home. Some days there are three or four taped to the door, and Brian is so good to open each one and get excited over every picture. Aspen is our drama queen and I have a feeling the best is yet to come, we can't wait!! We love you Aspen!! =ok so NOW I am crying=

Little Children do have words given unto them many times, which confound the wise and the learned.

These are just a few of my favorite things my kids say that make me laugh, I will be adding to it often so, watch for new fun stuff!!

Porter informed me that he was a boy and Aspen and Brylee are girls, so asked how he knew that. I was a little worried about the answer, I was afraid I was going to get an anatomy lesson, instead he said "I am a boy because I have boy toys!"

Brylee asked me the other day if Jesus knew the words we were saying in our heads. And I told her yes-she said "uh oh, I better start thinking nicer things!"

In the car the other day Porter was trying to tell me something and I could not for the life of me understand him. Sometimes the girls can translate, so Iasked them what he was saying. Brylee said "I know he is saying popcorn in spanish--- PACO CORN!" That is what it sounded like, but I don't think that is how you say popcorn in spanish!!

We came in after the kids had been playing outside and Brylee was trying to tell Brian something about a rock and her nose. He came to the conclusion there was a rock WAY up her nose!!! After many-MANY tries to get it out we finally removed it. Brian gave her the "don't stick stuff up your nose" talk. And she said "I didn't stick it up there-I just fell on it and it went up there!" And Aspen tried to tell us she saw Brylee running and the rock just "jumped" up into her nose!! We apparently need to have the "honesty" speach-AGAIN!!

The other day we were in the car and Brylee farted, she very politely said "excuse me mom I burped!" I laughed and told her "no, I think you farted." She said" Oh yeah mouths burp and bums fart!"

This morning while watching Dora, Brylee was singing along. They were singing Happy Birthday to Boots-in spanish- Felize Compleanos (sp?) But, Brylee was singing "Please poopy on nose!"

Last sunday was a particularly hard one. They moved sacrement meeting to the end of church and I HATE it! Brylee was in the middle of screaming about who knows what and Brian was holding her trying to calm her down and she starts screaming "My panties are stuck in my bum!!!"

Aspen loves seeing the Temple, and while is Salt Lake we drove past the Jordan river Temple and she said "Mom, how come Jesus isn't at the Temple today?" and before I could respond she said "Oh yeah he is still in the manger!"

Brylee had diarrhea and was going to bathroom often and Aspen said "Mom, I think she has a bum headache!"
