Funny moments:

Everyone needs a good laugh, so I thought I'd write a few funny things that Ty and Mara have done and said this week:

On Monday for FHE Nate gave a great lesson about work and talked about Nephi working to build a boat and how we all have work to do. We sang the song "Put your shoulder to the wheel" and explained to Ty about the 'worker's seal'. Nate made a cute little job chart for Ty to mark off his jobs each day and Ty was pretty excited about that.
Well the next day Ty kept talking about the 'worker's urchins' and I wasn't sure what he meant and he said "Like last night, we talked about the worker's urchins....oops I mean the workers seal!'
As we went for walk one day Ty was riding his bike and he passed a man who was dressed in a suit and Ty.
He said very loudly "Look Mama! That man is going on a mission!"
I said, "No honey, sometimes when men go to work they wear a suit and tie. What does your daddy wear when he goes to work."
"I know! He wears a worker's seal!"

Last night was one of the funniest moments of Miss Mara's life and I wish I would have grabbed the camera and got it on video! We were sitting around the table talking to Popcorn Papa on the cell phone and wishing him a happy birthday. Mara picks up the phone and starts saying "Hello, ha ha ha, Hello, ha ha ha" Every time she said 'hello' she just started laughing hysterically and Ty and I were laughing just as much! She got such a kick out of herself it was so funny!

One of Mara's favorite phrases these days is, "No, I'm the baby!" We've been telling her what a big girl she is lately and maybe with the new baby coming she's starting to feel a change about to happen, I don't know the reason for it, but she's pretty adamant that she is THE baby and will always be THE baby!

Ty just loves playing with his friends at pre-school. After school Ty was talking to Mimi on the phone and telling her all about his friends and what he had done at school. Mimi thought that Ty had said one of his friends was named Nathan and asked Ty "Was Nathan at school today?" And Ty's answer was, "No Mimi, silly, Nathan doesn't go to school, Nathan was at work!"

The not so funny moment this week has been the absence of our daddy! Nate had a trip to Redmond, OR (about four hours away). Usually we take advantage of these trips and go with him, but this time because of certain obligations and such we weren't able to make it (boo-hoo-hoo!) It was a bummer being away from daddy! The first morning without daddy Mara came sneaking into our bedroom and hoping to find daddy in his bed. She climbed up and looks and I tried to convince her to come snuggle with me in bed but she declined and went and got back in her bed! Ty came in and cuddled for a minute and so Mara came back only to be disappointed and say, "A daddy doe?" We are all anxious and excited for the return of our super daddy tonight! Although it's only been three days, it has been three long and lonely days without him! We missed you like crazy Nate!!
