March Madness

March is almost over and we're all excited for April to get here. It's been a busy month for all of us and April is looking promising. Andy is doing an internal medicine rotation this month and it has kept him pretty busy. Next month he is going back to the ER where he is happiest so that will be great. We're hoping the weather starts warming up for spring. We haven't had any snow for a while, but the temperature has been pretty cold and last Monday we had the first tornado warning of the season (fortunately, it didn't touch down here). We did get a lot of rain and wind and after the storm blew over, Eden was really excited to go outside and play in her puddle jumpers. She jumped in a "river" in front of our neighbors house and got soaking wet, but loved every minute of it.

We were lucky enough to have good weather a couple Saturdays ago so we went to the zoo. It was a lot of fun. As we were leaving, we asked Eden what her favorite part was and she said she liked the waterfall best, followed by the fish and the ducks. Sometimes I wonder why we take her to the zoo for that...

Eden set her own table all by herself (tablecloth included) the other day and she looked so proud of herself, I had to take a picture. She's done this about 10 times since then.

And for your enjoyment, some more Eden-isms:

Eden made me some juice in her kitchen and told me it was "Lemonaid Molecule Juice"

She put her backpack on and told me she was going to "assembly". I didn't know she knew about assemblies so I asked her where she learned it and and she told me she learned it from "my friends at school". I don't think she has any friends that are in school.

She thinks she can tell time. If we ask her what time it is she looks at the second hand on the clock and says whatever number it is closest to. So it can go from four o'clock to eight o'clock in 20 seconds.

Andy was watchin basketball the other night and she told him she wanted to watch something girls watch, not boys.

This was our conversation Sunday morning:
E: "Mommy, do you want to hear a joke?"
J: "Okay..."
E: "What kind of bunny lives in a cup?"
J: "I don't know"
E: "A carrot bunny" (Lots of laughing) "What do you climb in a tree"
J: "I don't know"
E "Tree stairs" (Lots more laughing)
Now she just needs to come up with some jokes that are funny...

One day, three posts!

Super Eden

I meant to post some Eden-ism's a couple weeks ago and I forgot. So for those of you who have been asking (Mom), here they are:

Eden didn't want to say family prayer a few nights ago and when I asked her why not, she said, "My prayers are boring."

Eden was playing with her doctor kit the other day and was checking her heart with her "telescope"

Eden loves to say something is "Sweet as candy"

Eden confused a picture of Brigham Young with Raffi, a children's singer who happens to have a beard.

We tell Eden that during her prayers she should thank Heavenly Father things that make her happy so she said she was thankful for suckers and bananas.

I had the hiccups the other day and Eden was trying to make them go away by giving me hugs and kisses. I told Eden they were gone and she said, "And I'm not even a doctor!"

Eden told me she was going to her room to put on a sweater because she was a little bit sweaty.

Eden asked me out of the blue if we could make ghost cookies. I asked her why she wanted ghost cookies and she said "For Valentines Day!"

Eden is working on memorizing the First Article of Faith and when we get to the end, she informs me she "doesn't like ghost-es".

That's about all I can think of right now but there's more where those came from. Just give her time.

Curly Shirley

Eden had her hair in twisty pigtails the other day and when we took them out at night her hair was curly. It looked so cute I had to take some pictures. Eden calls herself Curly Shirley when she sees herself like this. I can't believe how old she looks in these pictures (especially the second one). I can hardly believe she isn't even two yet!




For those of you who always ask what funny things Eden has said lately (and you know I can never remember them all) I have created a list of Eden-isms on the right side of the blog. I'll try to keep it updated with the latest quotes from our wee one. There's never a dull moment when she's around.
