I love Bella's words...
"Mom let's go to the park. The one we went to the otherest day,"
This one made me really sad...
B: Mom, when am I going to die?
M: Hopefully not for a long time. Why?
B: Cause I want to see what Heavenly Father looks like.
M: I would miss you. Stay with me for a long time okay?
B: Okay! (pokes her skin on her arm) I will! My skin isn't old enough yet!
This conversation with Papa Don yesterday at the park was priceless:
PD: Did you catch a fish when you went camping?
B: (Holds up a finger) One!
PD: How big was it?
B: (Holds out her hands to show about 12")
PD: Was it a boy or girl fish?
B: It was a boy. Cause it didn't have any eyelashes!
Very insightful.
Her Nana & Papa took her and the twins to Pirate Island over the weekend.
B: That was so much fun!
N: Yeah, we should do it again!
B: I'm available next Thursday!
Sometimes I am a little sad that she is so grown-up for her age. She has adult-mature insights and thoughts. But then I realize how lucky I am that she is my oldest. She is such a great help to me. I am not just saying that. I mean it. People ask me how I do it with 4 children 4 and under and some credit is due to her. She is so sweet and helpful with her siblings, she never complains when I ask her to help with something. She does it willingly and happily. I don't know how I could do it without her!

She is so stinkin' cute! I'm sure she is a huge help to you, just as I remember how big of a help you were to your brothers... It must run in the family! I can't believe that she is 4!!! She is going to love to look back on all these sweet memories you journal about and it will make her feel so special! :)
She is one special girl! I love your new pictures. I need to get over and see Phinn. He is so cute!
