Livie's Sayings

We need to do a better job of recording some of the cute little things that Livie says.  She is such a little hoot.  Here are some of her recent sayings that cracked us up.  By the way, we realize that these sayings are much funnier live and when the little ones say it themselves versus when parents try to repeat it, so please forgive us if you don't find these funny.

• Livie loves to find ways to stall so that she doesn't have to go to bed.  Tonight, after we finished stories, she was supposed to turn off the light.  I didn't know what she was doing, but I knew she was dinking around, so I said, "Livie!"  She quickly responded, "I'm getting a drink, Dad. Be patient!"  If there is one thing that Livie is teaching us, it is certainly patience. :)
• Livie needed to go potty before bedtime.  In an attempt to speed up the bedtime process, I (foolishly) attempted to have her sit on the toilet without her little potty seat.  She quickly rebuked me, "Dada, I need my seat.  What is Dada thinking?"
• We were having a little lesson for "Family Home Evening" and we were talking about the "Priesthood" (for more info, you can check out this site:  Priesthood).  I showed Livie a picture of Jesus and said, "Who is this?"  She quickly responded, "Jesus."  I showed her a picture of the Prophet Joseph Smith, and again, she quickly responded, "Joseph Smith." Lastly, I showed her a picture of President Thomas S. Monson.  She quickly responded, "Mitt Romney."  I guess that's what you'd call, "Right church, wrong pew." 

We love our little Olivia.  She makes us laugh so much.

Springtime in Maine

We are very happy that Spring is here in Maine... finally! Here is a photo of the girls in their Easter dresses. They are both getting so big. Sienna is almost walking...she's getting more and more daring by the day.

Livie and Sienna both love playing the piano with Abby during Family Home Evening.  They are quite the pianists!
