a few oldies, and a couple goodies...

i also write some of these little funnies down on my notes on my phone, just to make sure i dont forget them... i found a couple on my phone that i realized i never posted on here!

(this was back in april maybe?)
CADEN- "i want my cousin tommy! he wants to come over to my house today, cause i miss him!:
Me- "tommy cant come over today- he lives too far away!"
CADEN-" where does he live?"
Me- "in yorba linda."
CADEN- " in ME-ba, linda???"

a few months ago...
CADEN- " I love you mommy. i need you good take of care for me."
say what???? i think he was asking me to take good care of him! or that maybe i do take good care of him? totally creative phrasing, but it was so sweet either way!

just a few weeks ago...
CADEN- "daddy, we can talk about arms, and legs, and feet, and eyes. But we can't talk about wieners, butts, poop and pee. But I pooped really big and it splashed my butt. I can talk about that."

seriously? is it just innate in all boys to be like this????

and on a more serious, spiritual note...

SWEET LITTLE RYLAN...(april 2011)
Rylan, on a potty break from sacrament on Easter sunday. Was walking down the hall, saw a large painting of Jesus Christ, and said...
RYLAN- "When i was a baby, He held me."
rylan has said this on a few occasions, without ANY prompting whatsoever. even before we started telling him who Jesus was. There are two instances which come to mind. Rylan and caden were preemies, and spent over two weeks at the hospital before they could come home. i was not able to be there 24 hours a day.
my second thought- when rylan was a month old (and barely over 4 pounds), he caught a virus that made him extremely sick. so sick, that he stopped eating, got very dehydrated, and actually stopped breathing a couple of times. he was lifeflighted to childrens hospital. i was not able to be with him,and hold him, until a few hours later.

How beautiful would it be if Christ was able to be there, to hold and love him when their mommy couldnt. it warms my heart to know that at such a young age, my tender hearted rylan knows who Jesus is, and feels that he is loved by him, and has been held by him (physically or otherwise!)

ethan love...

Every night, i tuck my sweetest little Ethan in, before i go to bed. I kiss his little cheek, and say
"i love you baby"

and every once in a while, in his sleep, he whispers it right back to me.

" I yub yoo, mommy"

most rewarding moment of my life.
