This and that and here and there

So if you haven't heard life is a bit in the air right now. Ok, I guess that's not totally true.. we have a plan, we actually have several :) But they can all change at the drop of a hat :)

Just over a week ago we were planning on loading up our stuff and heading to Utah for the summer and then skipping off to Miami for 4 - 7 years for school. Hayden got a great scholarship at the school there and we were very excited :) We'd be closer to the "South Carolina cousins," great beaches and saving money :) ....Enter California; Hayden interviewed a few weeks ago and last week was offered a great spot! It's in Pomona which is southern near L.A. and about 30 minutes to Disneyland kinda close to beaches, but a lot closer to Utah.... no scholarship :( but, we want to end up in the west so..... California here we come!

Right now I'm actually supposed to be packing our apartment (which by the way has WAY too much stuff!) but I'm procrastinating. Hayden is in his week-before-finals mode which means up at 6:00 (per usual) but then no dinner breaks, just study until about 8, come home to help with bed time and study again at 9:00. Needless to say the packing is up to me..... Have I ever mentioned I'm not a fan of packing? Did you know Hayden is an amazing packer? And remember now, there are two sweet angels running around and through my organized stacks, jumping in and out of boxes, and going willy nilly with gobs of tape... Yup packing is a little piece of heaven for them.... not so much for me.. ;) But regardless in 9 days we'll load our mountains of things into a giant truck and take it off to be stored for 2 months while we avoid all books and mentions of studying and just play with family :) Then we load it all back into a giant truck and hop over to California.

So a little of here and there and all over :) Now I have to put in a few of the things that Hallie has been saying with her ever growing sweetness, curiosity and vocabulary (this is the this and that portion of the post ;) )

Hallie - Mommy if you pray in a forest does Heavenly Father and Jesus show up?

On a different day

H - Mommy Heavenly Father and Jesus gave the people manna (pronounced monna-believe me I was corrected)

Me -Yes they did.

H- Cus the people were in the mountains. And we were pretending the bread was manna. (talking about sunbeams)

Me - Oh :)

H- Mommy how did Heavenly Father and Jesus get the manna to the people?

Me - ?...Uh, the priesthood.

H - like was it magical?

Me - No, it's not magic. It's the priesthood, it's God's power.

H -Did they send it to them?

Me - (phew) Yes

H- like in a package?

Me-.......

And for a classic.....

Preface- we are very open about bodily functions and body parts.....Both of these we heard her saying in the bathroom by herself.

H - Uh oh! Where's my bagina? Oh there it is, it's still there.

H - WOW! That poop was like a zerbit poop! (loud noise..lol)

Sorry if that was too much for ya, it makes me laugh and then you can see all the adorable and silly sides to my little chatter box :)
