When did she get to be so grown up?

Happy Birthday, Kira-bug!  I'm so proud of you!

Hope You Had a Happy Easter

Why is it that with all of the pictures we took today, our goofy one turns out the best?

Hope you had a nice Easter. We did.

It was a good day in primary for Trenton. Two Trentonisms reported by two different teachers.

1. They were talking about the resurrection in sharing time and the teacher talked about how sometimes our loved ones die. Trenton piped up with "My Grandma Nielson was 101 years old, and she had a breakdown and died!"

Explanation: I believe that in an effort to comfort his serious grieving about Grandma's death,

I think I told him something to the effect of that when people get old their bodies start to get worn out and break down, and it becomes difficult for them to do a lot of things they used to do. That's all I can figure.

2. In his class they were talking about the Word of Wisdom. Trenton's teacher reported back that he said, "There is a guy in my Dad's office that drinks coffee, but he is respectful of my dad when he smokes."

Explanation: He knows that it is the other guy who smokes and keeps a respectful distance from his dad when he does it, but the way he said it, made it sound a lot like his Dad is the one doing the smoking. This on top of last week's revelations about all of his dad's girlfriends. One might just think Barry is leading a double life.

Trentonisms--It's been a while...(UPDATED)

I know you've been dying to hear what is coming out of this handsome guy's mouth, lately. The truth is, I haven't been doing a great job of remembering to write down his gems, lately. I think it is because they are getting longer as he gets older, and my brain is getting worse at remembering things as I get older. There were some good ones this week, so I jotted them down. I know I'm missing at least one funny he said that I just can't remember. But here are the most recent Trentonisms (that have been recorded), for your reading enjoyment:

• (to me, his mother) "I know sometimes you think you're right, but you're really wrong. But I love you anyway."
• One day we heard him talking about a "cosmological critical mess" and asked if he was referring to his bedroom (I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be a critical mass, and he heard it on Planet Heroes, but I like his version better).
• After listening to the story of Joseph (of Egypt) he said "Mom, are you thinking what I'm thinking? If the robbers come to our house we could get them and throw them in a big gigantic hole!"

and my current favorite:

• We had to pick up Barry from work, since his car was in the shop. As we pulled into the parking lot, Trenton was excited to recognize the office building. "We're at Dad's work!" He exclaimed. And pointing at a woman getting into her car, "Look! There's one of Dad's girlfriends!" Trying to park and not laugh too hard at the same time I reply, "One of Dad's girlfriends???" Trenton says, "Yeah! Dad has LOTS of girlfriends!" Oh, really, now?

Trenton has had a fever the last couple of days, and gets to go get a couple of cavities filled on Monday, so say a little prayer for him, if you get the chance.

UPDATE: (4/6/09)
The dentist appointment went well and I think Trenton enjoyed our "date" today. He is resting now. I have to post one more Trentonism--not so much because it is funny, but because I need to have it documented for the future.

T: When I am a teenager, I will never, ever, ever to anything bad!
Me: Oh really?
T: Yeah. If you ask me to do something, I will do it.
Me: That's great!
T: Deal?
Me: DEAL!

When do you think I'll have to dig up this post to show him?
