8/22/2000 Today when we were swimming, Chanelle, Spencer and others were floating on a raft. Spencer started to cry and Chanelle was annoyed and teased him a little by pretending to push him off. Later Spencer said to Mallorie, “Chanelle’s starting NOT to be a Missionary!”

(On vacation in Sequoia)
8/22/2000 We went to crystal cave and during the tour they shut off the lights. We were supposed to be quiet and listen to the sounds of the cave. Sierra didn’t like it and she kept saying, “Uh oh. Uh oh. Light Mama” and finally ended up crying. The tour guide joked that by turning on and off the light he could make her cry by remote control.
4/2000 Sierra can sing “Ba ba ba ba ba” pause “Ann”. Her favorite book is “Hand hand fingers thumb”.
6/18/2000 Spencer said, “I’ll take that as a hiccup!”
5/19/2000 Spencer was talking about a blossom and he said, “It hasn’t hatched yet.” They had chickens in his preschool and I think that’s where he got the idea.
3/12/2000 We were all talking at dinnertime and the conversation drifted to what slaves were treated like and I told about a show I saw once where a slave was punished for stealing a ham by having it chained to him. I said he eventually went crazy and Mallorie asked if he’d started making pig noises, and suddenly Sierra who we didn’t even realize was paying attention to all this goes, “Snort, snort”.(That’s her pig sound. She wrinkles up her nose and actually snorts!) We all laughed. It was cute and now we know how well she’s really listening.
10/21/93 Mallorie says she loves Brendan (the little boy across the street) and the she’s going to marry him. He says the same about her and they even have kissed each other. Well, the other day another little boy named Jacob came over to play and was kissing her. She told us and Mark said he was going to tell Brendan. Mallorie said “No” at first, then she said, “ Well, just tell him I was practicing.”
Mallorie told me today I was “a special Mommy to me” and “the greatest Mom to her”.
11/29/97 Today Spencer accidentally poured out almost a whole bottle of parmesan cheese on his spaghetti. We all said, “That’s too much” and he looked up and asked, “Dat too much?”

12/24/97 Tonight we had a Christmas play. Chanelle was Mary, her boyfriend James was Joseph and they asked Spencer (2 ½) to be baby Jesus. And he said, “No, I be Big boy Jesus.” Later he was even “Batman Jesus”. Chase was really into his part as a shepherd and Mallorie was the Innkeeper and a king with Ashley and Meghann (Carlisle). Tiffany played her traditional part as an angel. Heather was the narrator.
8/5/01 We went to James and Chanelle’s ward and during sacrament meeting. Sierra was having a hard time behaving. She had already run up to the front. She grabbed a handful of bread during the sacrament too. She was being loud and wiggly and finally she said to me, “Just take me out and give me a little spanking!” (She said this several time loudly. I finally took her out.)
8/11/01 We went to the part and Sierra was happy, twirling around and around and lifting her shirt up and down singing/saying, “I’m at the park, I’m at the park!” She suddenly got dizzy and fell hard on her bottom. She turned and looked mad at me and said, “Did you push me?”
8/10/01 Spencer and Sierra went out to put a letter in the mailbox. I told Sierra she could only go if she was good and didn’t run away and came right back in. She did and I told her she was ‘so good and such a big girl!’ And she said, “I’m 3?” (all excited).
7/21/2001 Mallorie took Sierra to the petting zoo at the pioneer picnic. She kept pulling feathers out of the chickens so Mallorie decided to take her out. Sierra said, “Wait, just one more thing.” And then she kicked the chicken. (Then they asked them to go out.)

9/21/01 Sierra says, “I’m two. I’m going to be 3 in a minute.”
9/2001 I took Sierra and Julianna Moffitt with me to the memorial service at the church ( after the attack on New York and Washington D.C. by terrorists.) They got restless and we went out in the foyer. At first they were all running in circles, then this little boy started shaking a blanket at them. They hugged each other and Sierra whispered to Julianna, “I will protect you from him.” And I said, “I think he just wants to play with you.” And Julianna said, “He’s a boy!”

1/2/02 Sierra was pretending to read (it was really the instructions to the game boy color game) and she said, “And it came to pass…”
1/15/02 I sing to Sierra while I push her on the swing. She sometimes asks for certain songs. If she asks for the “butterfly” one, I know she means “Skip to my Lou” because of the ‘flies in the buttermilk’.
1/8/05 I dropped a cookie, but it caught on the edge of the tablecloth. I said, “The tablecloth saved it!” and a few seconds later Sierra said in a loud voice like a loudspeaker, “Everyone! Don’t panic! The tablecloth is not alive! Mom is just kidding!”
10/18/93 Mallorie held her hand up to her forehead like she was measuring where Chase came up to and said, “Chase’s head is to my fever!”

2/95 The other day when Chase woke up, I laid down next to him and he was pointing to my ears, eyes, etc. saying, “These your eyes”, etc. Then he said real excitedly, “We talking Mommy!” He also likes to say, “Hi Mommy!” and “I love you!” when he first wakes up.
