The Weidmans

I try to write down every funny and memorable thing that the kids say, especially when it's something I don't have a picture for so I don't forget, but it doesn't always happen. Plus the kids are getting older and smarter so there seem to be less of these moments each year. This is what I took notes of in 2021:  Hap Said January: -Playing with cars and said, "Wish me had 100 hands so me could carry all my cars." -Says "Cosmo" for the cougar and for Costco the store. February: -Uses "for" in the place of "from". "Me got the shirt for Hailey." (Talking about the shirt Hailey gave him) March: -Heidi told the other kids not to eat sprinkles and then did it herself so I said she was a hypocrite. Hap loudly said, "You a hippo!" -Watched a bit too much Bluey and so when I said our car needed gas he said, "We need to go to the petrol station." August: -Hap had a bad dream and screamed in the night. When I cam...

The last week of the year was a (mostly) relaxing week at home. We walked to church just for sacrament meeting. Someone dropped off this nativity a few pieces at a time the week before Christmas. The kids lined up their stuff so we could document what they got this year and then they played with their new things. The little girls said that we should be in the picture with our stuff too, so they took a picture of us with our new stuff. That was a first. I got this dress after Christmas for really cheap last year and I have loved wearing it this season. It is super comfy and has pockets. We have quite a few new ornaments for our tree. Heidi and Hailey love the blankets Jodi gave them; they wear them everywhere around the house. We did a puzzle and watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I only remembered a flying car so it was like watching a new movie for all of us. Hap started singing the main song while playing with his toys over the next while. Cougar showed us a magic trick he learned. It ...

The kids got just what they asked for, except for Hailey who was maybe a little surprised since she got the yonanas from Grammy the night before. Christmas morning is always fun and exciting with little kids. They loved finding all the treasures in their stockings and seeing each other open the presents they exchanged. Hap saw a box under my bed for a few months; I finally told him what it was and he got to give the puzzle to Dad for Christmas. Hap and Cougar gave each other a football. Hailey recently gave her doll to the younger girls but Heidi wanted to keep hers. Instead she gave Lacey a doll of her own. I gave Jamie some harnesses for walking her chickens, but when she tried them the chickens just kept slipping out so they weren't quite the amazing gift I thought they were. Brynlee got to try out her cousin's new camera and I found later that Lacey took quite a few pictures with the camera I left downstairs. Hap took some on my phone upstairs so I guess taking pictures was...
