(Sorry for the change in font. My perfectionist/OCD side is screaming at me to fix it but the blog just won't change the font of the last paragraph. It's very annoying, let me tell you. Again sorry to any of the perfectionists out there who are annoyed by this. I feel for you.)
So I was babysitting Angela and Brianna on Saturday and the entire time they were unintentionally funny and I just have to share what they said with you all. Before we begin I must give you some background information. Angela and Brianna love to talk about who I like and who I want as a boyfriend. So it didn't come as any surprise when they told me that Zack Effron (plays main guy in High School Musical) was my 'type' and implied that I should date him. I smiled and clearly told them that he was not someone who I would date. Consequently they asked what kind of guy I liked. I explained that I didn't want a movie star but a strong Mormon man. Brianna then quickly perked up and said, "What if you date a Christian and then make him Mormon?" I had to laugh at this and told that that didn't always happen. She was still confused, however, and stuck to her belief.
Earlier that night, I don't remember how we got on this topic, but Brianna declared that she wished everyone was Mormon so that no one would hurt each other. It was so cute and idealistic, that I just had to smile. Angela, though, after a moment of thought saw a problem in this plan and voiced her opinion. She said, "But then there wouldn't be enough seats!" Of course she was referring to Sacrament meetings and I found it so hilarious that it took me some time to stop giggling.

Also while we are on the topics of funny kid moments, Dad has recently been reading old journals from when I was young and I must share some of the entertaining stories. The first takes place when I was 4 with Mom, my friend and I. My friend, whose name I can not remember for the life of me, was bragging the she knew the names of both her mom and dad. I told her that I did too and proceeded to tell her that my mom was named LaRee and my dad was named 'Dear'. : ) But that isn't even the best story! The next was at the beginning of my Kindergarten year. I came home one day and declared that I have 4 boyfriends! Yep, I said four! When asked what their names were I replied, "I don't know. I'm too scared to ask." I just cracked up at this and couldn't stop smiling for the next hour or so. My dad has also been reading entries from when I was a baby. He told me how my sisters would wake up at three in the morning when I cried to help calm me, how they fought so much over who would take care of me that Mom and Dad had to make a schedule and how they actually raced to change my dirty diaper! How crazy are my sisters?! But I love them for it and know I would have done the same if the situation was reversed. Thanks so much for helping raise me Jenny, Rachel and Melissa! I'll love you for eternity!
(Also, as a side note, I updated our family profile, at least for me. So if any of you want to check that out, you can!)

Really, I think it was me that taught you everything... how to clap, walk, whistle, first words, what more do you need! I even got in trouble if I didn't take you with me to Heathers. (You were like a little sister to Heather.) But I guess you got the reading part from Jenny and Rachel. Love ya!
You are funny. Sometimes it changes font on me too and drives me crazy. Probably a little less crazy than you though.:)
I love your storytelling skills too, Becs. It's like I'm there! My favorites were your childhood journal though, that's awesome, "dear". And you'll probably need to stick with the too scared to ask boy's names until you're about thirty. Then you can date them for real. THat's what Davey says at least.
Make me a new post about something?
