Chase says....

"Dear Heavenly Father, please bless us, please bless the food and I don't like biscuits and I do like cocoa...."
-any guesses as to what we had for dinner that night? :)

Laundry day-
"Mom, I just wanted to tell you.... that you are really good at folding my swimming suit."

During a conversation in which Chase had asked my why I liked daddy we were talking about how he makes us laugh, and works hard for us, and plays with us, Chase was quick to add... "and we like daddy because he drives a truck!"

While pointing to his gums, "mom, I have an owie on my gum drops."

After talking about how ketchup is made, "How do they make mustard?  With yellow strawberries?"
-No, with mustard seeds
"Oh, do they just pant them in this mustard jar?"

While peeing potatoes, "Mom, when you're my age you can use the potato peeler too!"

Christmas tree hunting

 One of our favorite Christmas traditions.  We had to go a little farther out this time to the middle of nowhere. 

It's somewhat slim pickin's out here in the Tooele desert, but I'd rather have a funny looking tree than loose this tradition.  We thought we were stuck with another Juniper like last year, but ran into some pinyons.  

 The boys hauling the tree

 It was cold, but we bundled up tight.

I made the boys take another family snapshot with me.  I just know that someday they are going to be glad that I made them take all these pictures :)

The little boys wimped out on me so I made Daniel humor me a little longer.

By our tree.
