* Can I just say that playing "Duck Duck Goose" with Brailee is so much fun!!! I love the giggles of the kids when you are the goose and you have to chase them. And then, when you're chasing Brailee, Daiken stands in front of you with his arms spread out and he is the gate. How could you ever win with Daiken gating your progress?
* Giggles! Estee giggles when you play with her. Daiken giggles whenever Tyson plays with him. Brailee giggles when you tell her, "Don't give me kisses... don't do it" But the best part is the huge kiss you get anyway!
* Easter eggs - what can I say? We hid 36 - found 31. Ooops! Pretty sure the others will show up in the next day or two. Had to hide them inside because it's SNOWING outside! Isn't this supposed to be spring???
* Family! Yup - it's times like this that I wish the whole family was here to be part of the memories. The farm was amazing! (well until they take the mom cow away from the baby cow and they never get to see each other again!) We played in the mall today... kids on the carousel and Estee got her photo taken. Adam and Tyson went on a hike this morning but didn't go far 'cuz the snow came. We colored the best looking eggs in town. Daiken kept coloring the same egg over and over until it came out looking a bit like brown camo.
* Balls: Did you know that Daiken has to sleep with his ball at night? Not a doll - not a teddy bear - not a blanket... his BALL.
OK - gotta quit blogging here but just wanted you all to know how much fun "Family" is! Can't wait to spend time with Dev and Lianne and play with their little ones!!! (this is not an announcement) I will be very excited to be Nana to a whole bunch more of these little precious spirits!
Love you all ... Mom / Nana

The Things Kids Say
I walked into my bedroom and found Daiken jumping on my bed. When he saw me he said, "Hey Nana - your bed smells really good"
Today Daiken asked me to hold his stuffed animal, a pet dinosaur. I asked him if the dinosaur liked to have his tummy rubbed like a puppy does.
Daiken thought for a moment and then said: "You have to be grown up, like three years olds, to pet his tummy. Or old like you Nana... how old are you?"
Nana: "I'm like 99, that's what Brailee says"
Daiken: "Oh, well, you have to be a grown up like three years olds and 99 years olds to pet a dinosaur's tummy."
The other day Brailee, Daiken and Estee were busy pulling petals off of some flowers that Britnee had on display. When she caught them she asked them to please pick up the petals and throw them away. Daiken and Estee picked up a few petals and then quickly disappeared. Brailee remained picking up. Britnee asked: "Brailee, Why did you think you could do this? Why do you think this is OK?" Brailee very calmly stated, "Because we are children."
Britnee recently took Brailee with her when she went for an ultrasound. While the tech was measuring the fluid, Brailee asked: What are you doing?
Tech: Measuring the fluid
Brailee: What's fluid?
Tech: It's the water where the baby lives
Brailee: (shocked) Can it breathe?
Tech: Yes, the baby can breathe while it's in the water.
Brailee: Oh, is it a dolphin? Wait - No - dolphins have to come up out of the water to take a breath
Tech: (laughing) No, it's really a baby.
Britnee: (to Brailee) Brailee, I need you to have a happy face.
Brailee: But I just want to have a regular face.
Brailee: Nana, do you exercise?
Nana: I try to.
Brailee: Why? So you can have a baby?
Britnee: (to Brailee) Maybe we can have Grandpa or Daddy cut it 'cuz they are strong.
Brailee: Yah! They are! And Nana is the nice one and you're ... the mom.
Britnee: (to Brailee) You sure are a happy girl today.
Brailee: I know! I think maybe I'll listen to you today!
For my birthday Britnee wanted me to call ahead before I came home from work so the kids could surprise me. She and I secretely communicated on the phone and then Brailee said she wanted to talk to me. When Brailee came to the phone she said, "Hi Nana - when you come in the door we will be hiding and then we will jump and say "Surprise!" so you will need to come in and show us how happy you are." (so much for surprises huh?)
Brailee: "Nana, Can I have some of your drink?"
Nana: "Sure honey, but it's root beer. Do you still want some?"
Brailee: "Oh, No. I don't like roots"
Daiken: "Nana, where is my chapstick?"
Nana: "Honey, I'm not sure. You didn't see it downstairs?"
Daiken: "No"
Nana: "Hmmmm, what should we do?"
Daiken: "You can just buy me a new one"

Brailee's Prayers
My life is made so much brighter by Brailee's prayers. Here's a sample:
**Heavenly Father, We're thankful that Nana is healthful and not old like 99...
**Heavenly Father, Bless that Estee won't growl out loud anymore...
**Heavenly Father, Please bless Nana and Grandpa's eyes so they can get better and they can see (she has seen both of us with our reading glasses on)
**Heavenly Father, Bless my birthday and the pumpkins...

Well, if Chelsee ever makes it through finals then she will be going on a mission! Haha!
I might just end up becoming a corpse in the library! My brain is already fried and I still have two weeks to go!
I will officially be turning my papers in on May 13 -- 50 days from today!!!! I had to change the date because I had to change my availability to August 20th.
Anyway, just pray that I make it through finals so that I can get on my mission this fall!
