Straight Talk from a Two-year old

So, McKinlee has been hilarious lately and I had decided to share some of these funny moments for all of you.

1. She has been calling her dad "Shrek" and me "Fiona" (it comes out 'iona'). Her dad does not think this is too funny.

2. On the way home from Salt Lake we stopped for pizza. She ate and everything seemed to have settled just fine. We get on the road and hear what we thought was McKinlee throwing up. We both jerked around to find her, to our relief, not covered in puke, but instead she must have had a little come up into her mouth. She simply looks at us and says "Yummmm...Pizza!".

3. She loves chocolate milk, but she calls it 'chocolate juicy'. She will ask for it nicely once, and then she brings out the demon voice and her eyes get all scary and serious as if she is staring into the depths of your soul and she yells "I want my chocolate juicy!"...needless to say, she gets it.

4. She has been watching way too much Diego....Her dad takes her to the store, and you must keep in mind that there are many many Mexicans that are at the grocery store, and all of a sudden she points and yells "Diego". Jared looks around and to his embarassment he sees a Mexican man...not the best way to be fellowshiping our neighbors.

5. She loves to cook for us in her pretend kitchen, and she loves rocks. Those two don't make the best combination...We get plates of rocks that she insists we taste.

6. So today she had Cindrella playing and she was running around the house playing with things, not really watching the movie. Well, all of a sudden she must have heard the prince say something becuase she ran out of the room yelling "I'm coming Prince, I'm coming Prince!" She is such a girl....

7. This isn't very funny, but too cute not to share. She is the only little girl I know that asks to go to bed. She will just look at you and say "Night Night" and that is the end of it..we lay her down and she is out.

8. Safety first in our house....When we get in the car, before we can even sit down and get adjusted, McKinlee is in the backseat yelling "Mommy seatbelt, Daddy seatbelt!" She will not stop until both of us are buckled up. Who needs those annoying beepers in cars to tell you to buckle up when you have a two year old!

9. Jared has been taking the fireman classes lately and because of this it has make McKinlee obssessed with fireman (a little early don't you think?!).. Well, on Saturday Jared was able to help put out his first fire. (it was a controlled burn for training purposes, but still, it was a fire!) McKinlee, Logan and I went to watch it and to see if we could make out who daddy was. McKinlee loved every second of it and she is still talking about it. We can't mention the word fire without her starting to talk about "Smoke in eyes" "Smoke in nose"...and this will go on FOREVER! We finally have had to quit mentioning it in front of her because she demands that you discuss the smoke with her.

10. We have been teaching McKinlee how to say prayers and she is now saying them all by herself with only a little coaching here and there. They are the cutest things EVER. She hasn't realized to close your eyes during the prayer, though, so many of the things that she says she is grateful for are random objects found around the room...such as..."Grateful for pen..gratful for horse, cow, sheep and barn, grateful for silky (her blanket)" She of course mentions all by herself that she is grateful for "mommy, daddy, baby 'ogan, church, grandma, grandpa, juju, nana, papa, sheba and koka". There is nothing better than watching your child learn how to talk to their Heavenly Father. This has to be my favorite thing she has done this year. I know her Heavenly Father hears every word she says and I am sure he even chuckles once in a while.

Those are all I will write right now, but I am sure there will be many more that follow. Many of you weren't around when McKinlee was just a tiny baby so I have made a small slide show to show you how cute she has always been!
