The Best Boy in the World
Last night at my brother's house in Herriman, I was laying on the queen mattress on the floor in niece Melanie's room trying to get my two darlings to sleep. Addie was playing with my wedding ring and she asked (as she always does when she notices my ring), "Hey, mom...who married you?"
"Daddy did!"
"In the temple?"
"Yes."
"And who married Daddy?"
"Me."
"Oh, I want to get married in the temple and get my ring."
"Who are you gonna marry?"
"Heidi"
"Nope, you have to marry a boy."
"Then I will marry daddy."
"Nope. I already married Daddy. You will have to find you own boy, a boy who is little right now and will grow up with you, who's your friend. When you grow up, you can marry him in the temple. Do you know a nice little boy?"
[She thought for a few seconds...] "Ummmm, no. Just Daddy. I'll have to marry Daddy. He's the best boy in the whole world."
Awww. Could that break your heart?
Addie is getting to be best pals with her cousins, especially Liam. And a few nights ago, we were singing the "Latter-Day Prophets" song to get to sleep, and we sang "David O. McKay was followed by Joseph Fielding Smith, Harold B. Lee, Spencer W. Kimball---wait! Mom! SPENCER! We said SPENCER! That's our baby boy name!" By "Our baby boy" she means my brother's baby boy, Spencer, who turned one last week. Funny girl.
We head home to Montana tomorrow, but not before tonight's big family dinner---Jill and Audrey's Lasagne Cook-off and Spencer's very belated birthday. My family rocks and I couldn't have better sibings and inlaws (or cousins, for that matter--Brenty Bobbins is here, too). It makes the first 20 years worth it!
We have had a blast but are very excited to see our daddy and start packing up our apartment for the move which will (I have faith!) come eventually! Richy-baby, here we come! Hope you got some sleep cuz the girls are back in town!

Still Utarded
Last night on the NBC Nightly News, the teaser question said something like, "The Middle East Democracy Movement: How much credit can President Bush take? Some say the ground work was already laid and he's just lucky..." blah, blah, blah. Um, okay--I can answer that: The amount of credit Bush can take for democracy in the ME is equal to the blame he'd have to take if it didn't work. Take that, stupid network news.
Anyway--yeah, I am still in Utah. It's been fun getting Will and Audrey all settled and just puttin' around doing my thing. I could yammer on and on with a travel log (and I might later), but I just wanted to post some tidbits tonight.
1. Rich was here over the weekend and we went to Home Depot (because we don't know what else to do when we are together anymore). There we saw a very white woman with a bright red afro, except only the front was a 'fro--in the back there was a long silky ponytail curled into a long ringlet and tied with a big green satin bow. After we walked by her, Rich said, "Oh, Happy Birthday....that was poodle-rific!"
2. Addie said she likes Liam's mom (my sis-in-law Audrey) better than me because, "She's not scary."
3. When we were really tired the other night, Audrey said she didn't even have a coat for Melanie to wear to school. Michael said, "Well, it's a good thing it's almost dinner time" when he meant to say, "It's a good thing it's almost summertime." It was funny at midnight.
4. Tonight we looked at Brent's silly picture on his blog and laughed our bums off--when Addie saw it she giggled and said, "[sighing] Aw, that's my Brenty!"
He's everybody's Brenty, Addie. That's the beauty of Brent--and if Brent gets to live in Willy's basement, I am gonna be so jealous. Then the Postie kids can sing the "Charles In Charge" song all the time. Or, "It's a Jolly Holiday with Brenty, no wonder that it's Brenty that we love!" BRENTY BOBBINS! We adore you! It was so fun watching Arrested Development with you--it makes our family look normal!
And speaking of Posties, my brother Sam has left Clan Post. He is officially (once again) Samuel Christopher Layton. He changed his name back to our biological dad's name this month, and Gram says he even got a new Social Security Card. Cool.
More later...
