Our Dear Grandma

Nate recently went to Utah to see his Grandma who was quite ill. He was able to see her and spend time with her. I'm so glad he was able to because she passed away while he was there. He was even able to be there for the funeral. I just wish I could have been there too. She was a wonderful person and we'll all miss her dearly!

I'm so thankful we were able to visit with her recently (this past summer).
We love you Grandma Chapin!

Quotable Kids

December favorites from Simon - "Ninjabread houses" and "Pasta the Snowman" :)

12/2010 - "Mommy, when I get bigger, can I go to the temple with you?"
"And can I get married with you?" - Simon

11/05/10 - "Mommy? When I get bigger, can I be a scout boy?" -Simon

9/30/10 - "Mom, I'm hungry. Let's see what's in the palm-tree," said Simon, pointing to the pantry. ;)

8/28/10 - Julia - "I want to go on my mission to Idaho." Liliana - "I want to go on my mission to Russia!" Simon - "I want to go on my mission to Target!"

5/?/10 - "I love mirrors." - Liliana
"Oh yeah? Why's that?" -Nate
"Because you can really see all your boogers," replied Lili as she pushed her nose up to do just that.

5/7/10 - Liliana was telling me about what Jesus said to Satan when he was tempting Him..."Get the hint, Satan!"

2/26/10 - "That's my 'brudder' Roman. He came out of your tummy." - Simon

2/26/10 - "You're the best Mommy ever!" - Simon "Thank you, buddy!" - me
"And he's the best Roman ever." - Simon

2/6/10 - "I can't wait 'til I'm a grown-up. Then, I'll have adorable babies like Roman." - Liliana

11/2/09 - Julia was singing a song (again, as she had been singing it off and on all night). Liliana said, "Is that song stuck in your head? Here, I'll knock it out." {smack} - she hit Julia upside the head. But, not too hard, thankfully. They both laughed.

10/16/09 - Just a cute exchange from earlier today..."You look cute, Mom." - Simon
"Aww, thank you, Simon." - Me
"You're welcome." - Simon

10/10/09 - "Yesterday's yesterday was my birthday." - Liliana

10/7/09 - "Awwww! Goodbye four. HELLOOOOOOOO five!" - Liliana

9/30/09 - "I don't love rocks more than I love people." - Liliana

9/3/09 - Nate and I were testing out our new blender, and I asked him if he thought it sounded louder than our old one. Julia said, "It sounds like the engine of a sweet car." Nate was thrilled.

8/24/09 - Nate was joking around, doing his best "Southern" accent and I teased him about one of his phrases, saying, "Ack! Don't say that, it's improper English!"
Julia quickly responded, "It's not English...it's Texan."

6/2/09 - "Friends are always together, even when they're far apart." - Liliana

5/19/09 - "Book-reading takes you away to places." - Julia

5/17/09 - Simon lined up several of his cars, right next to each other. He looked up proudly, with a smile, and said, "Cars nuggle."

5/11/09 - "I love it when it's sweltering hot." - Julia

5/10/09 - "Mommy, I love you so much, it takes my breath away." -Liliana

4/.28/09 - "I like the fog. It reminds me of the forests of Ethiopia." - Julia

4/27/09 - Julia said, "Today I saw a beetle with perseverance."

April (sometime) - I said, "Lili, you probably shouldn't drink after Simon. He has a cold." Lili said, "Maybe he should drink after me. Then, he'll get better."

3/5/2009 - Liliana said, "Mom, will you tell me the story of the three little pigs? The one out of your brain."

1/5/2009 - I asked Lili to try some carrot. She replied, "Please can I not? 'Cause it's horse food."
That same day, I told her she has two parents who love her so much. In response she said, "You have three daughters that love you the most." - close enough, right? :)

1/2009 - Julia said, "I draw the best mummies of anyone at my school. I have a special way of doing the lines on the face." Ah, - "sugar and spice and everything nice." Can't we all remember our old school days as little girls. When we would gather for art and draw our prettiest mummies?

1/18/09 - Liliana wasn't feeling well this evening and Julia was being so kind to her. In the car, Julia said (in a choked up way), "I'm crying tears of joy right now for a few reasons. It makes me feel good when I help my sister. I'm worried about her. And lots of other reasons." (we took Lili to urgent care and it turns out she has an ear infection, a little bit of tonsillitis and she had a fever of 101! Poor thing! At least she was being taken good care of by her big sister! So sweet!

12/22 - We were driving around looking at Christmas lights. While we were driving by a particularly decked out house, Julia said, "It's a Christmas extravaganza!"

12/08 - While listening to "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer," Liliana said, "It's actually a sad song. The Grandma died. We want to keep our Grandmas forever. We love them."

Just one Nate remembered from earlier in the year - Lili got in the bath but wanted back out. Nate said, "Is it too hot?" She replied, "No, it's four hot. I only want it to be one hot."

12/08 - We were playing "restaurant" and Julia was the waitress. Lili wanted her attention and said (in a very proper, manner-filled voice), "Excuse me, mattress, I need some more water, please."

11/8/08 - Upon seeing Simon (fresh out of the shower, naked, running around), Julia said, "He's sticking out his utensil!"

10/17/08 - Liliana said, "Sometimes my pants stick out like that, even though I don't have a peanut."

10/15/08 - Julia was telling us about which table she sits at in her classroom, "Since I'm not particular, it didn't matter too much where I was sitting."

10/13/08 - While I was getting lunch ready today, Liliana got the peanut butter out for me, and also the Nutella. I said, "No Nutella." She replied, "No, I want old 'tella." Classic Liliana.
