You Are My Sunshine: Why is it So Hard to get a Good Picture?

In Rylie's Words

2/15

Ry: "Why did Harper just say "OH!"?

Me: "I am not sure, Rylie"

Ry: "Maybe its because she doesn't know French."

2/13

"Harper is like the egg monster...gobbling up her eggs. You know what you are mom? The talk all day monster"

1/7

"Um, that sure is a flavory taste!" (Talking about her toothpaste)

My yawn made my thinking go away!

11/2

Ry: "You know what makes me happy? This picture of you and daddy when your married. You look so pretty in your married dress. Its all white. Mom? Are you wearing a bra under your dress?"

Me: "Yes." :)

Ry: "Oh good! I was worried! Why did I not see you when you were getting married? Did God not create me?

9/12

Mom, guess how much I love you! All the way to Guatemala and back!

8/15

Mommy, I want to go to heaven with all of you. I just want to see God. When do you think he's coming to get us? Actually, I think I want to go without you because I want to be a mama. But don't worry I will send you a picture of me and Jesus so you remember me...but who do you think will take our picture? Maybe I'll ask God that he has a camera.

"Is Dad blow drying the grass? I mean...mow lawning?"

6/6

"Calling Dr. Superhero!! Mr. Belly Button is sick!"

5/30

"Momma, Do you feel ready to be a grandma? 'Cause I have a baby boy in my arms."

5/18

Adam: "Rylie, do you know where we live?"

Ry: "Here."

Adam: "Right, but do you know our address?"

Ry: "The basement."

5/ 16

Rylie had asked me to get her bike for her to ride. I needed to run something inside the house really quick. I came right back out and this is what she said to me.

Ry: "Mama, everything I ask you and everything you do makes me so mad!"

5/10

Ry: "Mom why do you have so many kattoos (tattoos)?

Mom: "What do you mean "so many"?"

Ry: "You have dots kattooed all over your body!"

Mom: "Oh those are my freckles."

Ry: "Well, I guess I like them."

4/31

Me to Adam: "Rylie is getting so old!"

Ry: "Mom! I am NOT old!! Old means I'm getting rid of me."

Me: "What?"

Ry: "Well, my doll that's upstairs on my floor that I forgot to clean up and take down to the basement is getting old and I don't want to get rid of it like the toys that are in the garage."

Me: "Wow, that is very smart thinking but we don't get rid of humans when they are old, just toys."

Ry: "Whaaat?! I'm a human!?!"

Me: "Haha...yes. You are human!"

4/30

As I am painting Rylie's nails:

"Daddy is going to love my nails. He will say, "Oh my, who is this girl?" and I will say, "It's Rylie the Pink!". "Oh how beautiful!! Lets clap for my toenails. They did such a great job!"

4/28

"Mom, this dinner actually tastes good!!"

4/7

Ry: "Mom, can we get pistachios?"

Me: "No, love. They are too expensive."

Ry: "But mom I love expensive things! I only, only, only want to have expensive things!!!" (I am in trouble!!)

3/15

Ry: "You know this is the best family in the world but sometimes I feel stuck." (She was sitting on my lap at the table. I guess she didn't have enough room to escape.)

3/5

Rylie woke up crying after we had put her to bed and when I went to check on her she told me she had "bee boxes on her hand". After thinking about it for a while I realized her hand had fallen asleep. :) "Mom, can you just massage the bee boxes away?"

2/3

Me: Ry, how did you sleep?

Ry: Well, not that really good.

Me: Oh no! Why?

Ry: Because I had a little bit of monsters in it.

Me: Oh, in your dreams?

Ry: Yeah, but they were not that really scary. They were a little bit nice. Hehehehe

Adam (about 5 minutes later): Rylie, how did you sleep?

Ry: Not that really.

Adam: Why not?

Ry: These nice monsters were there and said, "we need lots of water".

1/25

Ry: "There are no cell phones allowed today!"

Me: " Oh, really?"

Ry: " And did you see the sign? It says, no Harpers allowed today either!!" :(

1/18

To set the stage: I had a friend over and we were telling jokes to Rylie at dinner.

Ry: "Jen, do you want to hear my joke?"

Jen: "Yes!"

Ry: "Knock, knock"

Jen: "Whose there?"

Ry: Straight faced lets out the longest, nastiest toddler fart and then smirks at us!!! I. was. crying. So funny and embarassing!

1/9

"Mom, I need to sleep now so I can get my germs out of the way so I can have a play date!"

1/2

"I feel not healthy so I need to do some lots of yoga. Is that alright, Mom?"

2012

12/31

"Mom, Brandon is the best guy!" (This was out of the clear blue)

12/17

"Mom, I just fell and hit my knee. I need a kiss. Not a big but a little one."...(after I kiss her knee a few times) "Mom!! I said not a big one! I don't need 2 kisses just 1!! Can you please try that again. (in a very bossy tone)

12/3

As I turned around to see what Rylie was doing I caught her dragging Harper by the feet into the next room saying, "Come here sweetie. Come on sweet thing." At least she was being nice about it.

11/27

Ry: "Mom, would you like to hear a joke?"

Me: "I would love to hear a joke!"

Ry: "Last night while I was sleeping I was walking around my room and standing."

Me: "Wait, what? Really? Is that real? Or just a joke?"

Ry: "I don't know."

11/21

Ry: "Mom, when we get home I am going to need you to hold me."

Me: Ok, why is that?

Ry: I just need to cuddle!! :)

11/16

Ry: Wow Mom! You're not crying!!

Me: Why, would I be crying?

Ry: Because you are making my bed all by yourself.

11/15

Ry: Mom, that tree looks like a spider. I really really like spiders. Actually, I think they are my favorite creature!

11/14

While trying to unlock my phone.

Ry: "Mom, will you save the day?"

11/9

Me: "Rylie, I love my husband (your Daddy). He is so kind, gentle, loving and strong and brave! One day you will have a husband and I hope he will be just like my husband. "

Ry: "Oh Mom! I already have a husband - a Daddy husband and he is SOOOOO nice!"

11/7

Out of the clear blue while driving to story time at the library.

Ry: "Mama, I love this wold!"

Me: "Ahhh! That's nice. Why do you say that?"

Ry: "Because God made it."

11/5

Adam: "Rylie, can I put you to bed and read you books? I would really like to do that."

Ry: "No, I want mommy to do it."

Adam: "Please."

Ry: "Hey! I have an idea!! How about you stop whining and we all do it together!"

10/29

Ry: "Mom, I am so lonely."

Me: "Oh no Rylie! Why are you lonely?"

Ry: "Because you ask me if I have to go potty too much."

10/12

"Look Pop! Someone is shaving their car!! What a bummer!" (Our neighbor was scraping the windshield of their car. )

10/10

As I am bringing broccoli to the table...

"Now that's what I'm talkin' about, Mom!"
