Happy? I'm happy! I'm gosh-darned happy!

Today Annalee was having a bout of whining, and Daddy asked her to stop crying and come tell him what she wanted. She replied with a whiny "No!" So he calmly told her to go to her room and shut the door because we only like to be around happy girls. Suddenly her eyes opened so wide, she seemed to be trying to suck the tears back in. She painted a huge, fake smile on her face as if it pained her, and in a tremulous voice said, "Happy? Happy? Happy?" to show us just how happy she was. I cried tears of my own as I laughed myself out of my chair!

That's so cute she put on her best happy face for you. Now if you could just teach my 4-year-old to do that, we would all be a lot happier in this house!; February 27, 2010 at 10:33 PM

Usually, he's not really in trouble, we just want to talk to him about why what he did wasn't right. Before we can say so much as a word, he cries, "But I love you!"; February 27, 2010 at 11:36 PM

Who Are We?

We are a crazy-fun family and we're happy as long as we're together.

We say "Yea" to: dogs that don't shed, fantasy books, a clean kitchen, Dr. Mario, casual athletic activities, Love and Logic, capitalism, Sobe, singing in the shower, Hispanic food, time-outs (for kids and parents), cloth diapers, coupons, Jack-in-the-Box, Taco Time, Texas Roadhouse, Olive Garden, genealogy, seeing our extended family often, children who sleep in their own rooms, holding hands, on-line computer games, garage sales, Sunday dinners, love letters, home improvement projects, making a job go faster by doing it together, (appropriate) PDA, the annual BYU-I Halloween Concert, riding bikes, adoption, the temple, and Star Wars.

We say "Nay" to: government-run health care, putting each other down, nuts in baked goods, lawn flamingos and garden gnomes, cable tv, landline phone service, watching football or nearly any other sport (yawn), ridiculous email forwards that you know couldn't possibly be true, quack grass, dandelions, not cleaning up after your dog, gossip, allergies, and saving people (or companies) from the consequences of their own choices.

We agree to disagree on: illegal immigration, cheese, the right way to load the dishwasher, Japanimation, the proper length of a good haircut, cheesecake, the temperature, whether we should bring the dog camping next time, the color pink, whether a glass of chocolate milk counts as breakfast, Chuck-a-Rama, vitamins, and which of us is more fortunate to have found the other.
