Guess Who's Engaged...

On Saturday evening the kids and I were driving home from Waco when my sister-in-law, Kelli, called. She announced her engagement to Zack (opps I don't even know his last name). Kelli said he had proposed early that day. After I got off the phone with her I shouted "Aunt Kelli's getting married to Zack!!" I was really excited for her. Madalyn talked about Aunt Kelli and Zack for the next 30 min. She asked "does this mean Zack will be my uncle?" I said "yep and you could probably call him Uncle Zack next time you see him." She thought that was great. Later I was talking to my sister and Madalyn had to talk. She told Aunt Amy "guess who's getting married?, Aunt Kelli and Zack." Then she asked to talk to Teegan, "guess who's getting married?, Aunt Kelli and Zack." She then asked for Jackson and Bryson and had the same conversation with each of them. It was really cute.

When we arrived in Round Rock we went to Firehouse Subs to see Ryan and get some dinner. Madalyn immediatley told her dad "guess who's getting married?, Aunt Kelli and Zack." She continued her conversation by asking if they were going to have babies? Ryan said "someday they will." Madalyn asked if they would name the babies Josh and Gabe? Ryan said "no, you already have cousins with those names." That must have satisfied her for now.

Well, Congrats to Kelli & Zack!! We are very excited for you both.

*As a side note every time Madalyn would tell one of her cousins Kelli and Zack were getting married this image of "Saved by the Bell" kept coming in my head. If you don't know what that is you probably didn't watch much TV after school in the 90's. Kelli and Zack were 2 of the charachters in this TV series (Saved by the Bell) and they dated off and on.

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived. " — Marjorie Pay Hinckley

Quotes by Madalyn

One day as we sat around Meme’s table eating lunch and talking Madalyn was telling us about stuff that happened “a LONG LONG time ago” according to her. I made a comment about her being so old and she replied “Mom, I don’t hurt.” I’m not sure where she got the idea that if you are old that means you hurt. ~ Jan. 2008

Latter in that same conversation Meme said she thought Madalyn looked like her Grandma Bennett. Madalyn replied “I think Grandma Bennett looks like you Meme. You both have tangled hair.” Meme and Grandma both have curly hair which is what Madalyn was talking about. ~ Jan. 2008

When we were in the car Madalyn was singing a song. These are the words she sang: “…and so my KNEES ARE GRAY…” I was trying to keep from laughing out loud. If you are not sure why this is funny I will tell you. She was singing “I am a Child of God” and the words should have been “…and so my NEEDS ARE GREAT…” It was so cute and I didn’t want to correct her at the time. ~ Feb. 2008

The other night after Ethan went to sleep Madalyn and I stayed up talking for a little bit. She looked at me and then Ethan and back at me and said “I love that little guy.”
It was so sweet and sincere. ~ March 2008

Here is another one about singing. Madalyn loves to sing primary songs as loud as she can off the balcony. I heard her outside on the balcony yesterday singing “Follow the Prophet.” Here’s what she sang “Adam was a prophet first THING that we know…” instead of “Adam was a prophet first ONE that we know…” This is a song we have worked on but she always reverts back to the words she likes better. ~ March 2008
