Yeah for Amy!!

My sister finally started her blog after much pestering from me. YEAH!!! Now if I could just get Ryan's siblings to join in the blogging fun. I love being able to keep up with everyone through blogging. If you what to check out my sisters family blog: Smith-son-ian here it is. Let her know how much you love her catchy title (that I came up with) HA HA HA. I love it and it was the first one that popped in my head. My sister has 3 boys and they all have -son at the end of there names. She also has 1 girl but she didn't give her a name with -son at the end. Also, my husband likes to call the boys as follows: Ma-son-ian, Bry-son-ian, and Jack-son-ian. I think it has stuck b/c I do it too.

"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
