I tried leaving a comment awhile back about your sweet baby, but think it may not have gotten published. She's a doll though, and I love her name! Makes me so excited to have mine! Cute Christmas pictures too. I love reading your posts!
I have been married for seven years to Ty Bazil who is a wonderful husband and father! We have been blessed with three amazing children! Cash is an adorably animated boy who is now 5 1/2. Vanna Marie is an independent and beautiful little girl who is 3 1/2. Rosalie is our new sweetheart (six weeks old) and is just so precious - we are enjoying her addition to our family so much! I love watching the kids interact with one another and spending as much time as possible together as a family.
*As I was teaching Cash about cows, I would ask him, "What is a baby cow called?", "What kind of things can we make from the milk we get from cows?", etc. I asked Cash the following question as well: "What do we call daddy cows or boy cows?" To which he responded, "Cowboys!" - I thought it was a pretty clever answer.
* We just got a kitten and whenever he is relaxed and purring near Cash, he is sure to inform us that the kitty "is burping" (it's how he says purring which I think is so cute/funny).
July 2010:
*I asked Cash to hold a picture of Jesus Christ for me while I was preparing my Sharing Time for Primary and as soon as he got it into his hands he hugged it and said, "I love Jesus - he just my best friend." It was such a sweet reminder of the love we should have for our Savior as well as a reminder of the true friend he is to all of us - of his love for all of us! October 2010:
*Ty was wrestling around with Cash and said "Cash, you're such a goofball, do you take anything serious?" Cash answered, "yeah.". "What?" asked Ty. To which Cash responded, "macaroni and cheese."
January 2011:
*Cash: "twice and a half"
*Cash: "It's my pleasure."
*Vanna is always getting into my lotions and lip gloss and whenever I discover her in the act of doing so, so reassures me that it's okay for her to be getting into my goodies by holding up her hand in a 'stop and listen to me' motion and says, "tiny tiny tiny bit" while pinching her thumb and index finger together. I guess if it's just a tiny tiny bit, it's okay right?!
*Cash: "That was totally wicked awesome!" He's so animated - love his use of adjectives!
*When Cash gets scared at night we'd often ask him to be brave and try to comfort him by asking him to say a prayer or reminding him that Jesus is watching over him through the night and that we're only across the hallway from him, etc. Lately, however, he will tell us he's all out of brave or that he doesn't have anymore brave.
March 2011:
*I still have to help Vanna wipe when she goes big potty so when she asked me to help her the other day, I went in to the bathroom to find nothing in the toilet. She adamately claimed to have gone though so I thought maybe it was just a tinckle and wiped her anyway. Well, when I discovered that she was actually dirty I asked if she went potty again. She said, "yeah in Hank potty-garage." When we were through, she went out to the garage where our cat's litter box is to show me that yes, indeed she had gone poop in the cat's litter box. Ahhh! I guess I should be glad it wasn't anywhere else - but still, how nasty. We had a little talk and I hope it doesn't happen again - it will certainly be a good blackmailing story and looking back, it was pretty hilarious.
*Cash: "I'm getting so grumpy at you!"
*Cash: Cash sneezed today and afterward informed me that I forgot to say "bless you" so of course, I said, "Oh, bless you". He responded with: "Thank you for that - I appreciate it." He's using such sophisticated terminology lately (like "terrible, beautiful, awful, just horrible" etc.)
*I asked Vanna to put a pair of her dirty socks in the dirty laundry basked (located in the kids' bathroom). Well, instead of doing as I asked Vanna flushed them down the toilet! I don't know where she's getting these peculiar ideas lately!
April 2011:
*When I have to get after Vanna for one thing or another, she'll begin crying and put me on a huge guilt trip by saying, "You make me sad Momma, you bein' mean Mommy!" Ohhh, isn't that so heart-breaking?! I really do feel so mean when she says it.
*"Don't get mad - be glad!" The kids saw the Glad (garbage bag) commercials on TV once and they picked up on their slogan right away and are so clever in their use of the slogan in our home. Often times when I get grumpy they'll burst out with "don't get mad - be glad/get glad"! Oh what a quick mood lifter!
June 2011:
*The other day I had to put Cash in the corner and when I did he sobbed, "You're breaking my heart to piece". Well this certainly did break my heart and I had to explain that I don't like putting him in the corner but when he chooses to be disobedient there has to be some sort of consequence. This did nothing to console him - btw where do all his dramatics come from? :)
October 2011:
*Vanna in her loudest voice will sing/say: "I don't know - I been told!" - like the army chant and Cash says it like this: "I don't know what I've been told!"
*When the kids were away to Grandmas and Grandpas while I was on bedrest, Cash would occasionally get home sick. My mom told me one day that on one of Cash's particularly hard nights (just before they got to come home), he was listing off all the things he didn't like about his Grandmas and Grandpas homes and one of them was their decorations. He said he only liked the decorations at our house. I thought this was a funny (albeit sad too) comment - it was just Cash's way of saying he was ready to come home!
November 2011:
*In his prayers, Ty will often pray that I will be able to "carry the baby to an appropriate time" (or something similar) and Cash has picked up on the idea and so in his regular prayers he will say, "bless that Mommy can carry the baby to the doctor" or "bless that Mommy can carry the baby and not drop the baby". It's really quite darling and quite hilarious at the same time with the way he must be thinking of "carrying".
January 2012:
*In her recent prayers Vanna always prays for her baby sister: "Bless the baby can be safe and reverent."
*When I have to get after Cash for misbehaving or not listening, etc. and afterwards we talk things over and/or apologize, Cash has been saying, "Do you think you can try harder to be a better mommy?" What he means by this is: Will you never put me in the corner again?":) After I let the slight sting of guilt wash over me, I then say something real clever and turn it back on him, such as: "Do you think you can be a better listener?"
*Rosie snorts when she really gets upset and cries.
February 2012:
*Vanna is so good about always randomly saying "I love you" to me every day, several times. Now she also says, "I love my baby" referring to Baby Rosie. So sweet!
*As I was giving Rosie a bath when she was only a couple weeks old, she grabbed hold of her hair (she has a whole head of long blonde hair) and locked her little fingers in a fist around it (why is that babies often have their hands in such tight fists?:) and would not let go. She was pulling her own hair. When I finally managed to pry her fingers loose, her head in that area was bright red from her tugging - but she never cried through the whole thing! I just thought it was so funny!
*At 7 weeks, Rosie consistently sleeps 51/2 to 61/2 hours for her first stretch at night. Then, after I get done feeding her, she usually sleeps another 2 to 3 hour stretch before she's really awake for the morning.
*Also at 7 weeks, Rosie smiles all the time. Early on, she'd often smile just as she was dosing off while nursing, but now her smiles are for real-when she's fully aware. She's such a good happy baby. We're so blessed to have her in our family!
