Twins Are Here!

Today is a very special day for our family. We all have been awaiting this day. My brother Matt and his wife Heather had twins! They decided to be surprised and not "peek", so this was extra exciting. As a poll was taken, many thought boy-boy or girl-boy, but no one thought girl-girl (OK, so my brother Joe did, but that is it). So these are the results.

Rachel Lynn Merrill
3/7/0812:05 PM
5 lbs. 12 oz.
19 1/4 in.

Jordyn Leigh Merrill
3/7/08
1:15 PM
6 lbs. 10 oz.
19 3/4 in.

Jordyn wanted to be the adventurous one and came out feet first, and she made it! I bet she will be more like her mother. Wish they weren't so far away. How fun to have two more additions to the fam. Congrates Matt and Heather and good luck! That is 5 kids for them 1 boy and 4 girls!

Out of the mouth of babes!

SPENCER'S FRIEND JAYDEN (in carpool-backseat): My muscles are bigger than yours Spence. I do P90X.
SPENCER (carpool- front seat): You pee on your DS?

MOM: (rocking Chelsea age 4 in the rocking chair) You are getting too big! Stop growing! Pretty soon I won't be able to cuddle and rock you anymore.
CHELSEA: You can still rock me when I am BIG, just not when I am 16, because then I will be on a date with my boyfriend.

CHELSEA: When we were all up in heaven with Jesus, I chose you to be my mommy because you were so cute!!

MOM: What did you learn about in church today Chelsea?
CHELSEA: We learned the Jesus was "Cross"ified?
MOM: "Cross"ified?
CHELSEA: YES, bad men put Jesus on a cross and CROSSified him.

GRANDMA: I am the meanest mom on the block, Spencer!!
SPENCER: Well, you have been replaced!

HOME TEACHERS: "Who are the men always with our prophet?"
MELANIE AND CHELSEA (at the same time): "His bodyguards."
HOME TEACHERS: "Maybe his spiritual bodyguards. They are actually his counselors."

MELANIE: "Mommy, today we watched our new President on TV in school (the Inauguration). I was the only one that raised my right hand when he stood up (sustained him)!"

CHELSEA: "Mommy, how did Aunt Dale get blind?"
MOM: "She has diabetes and the diabetes made her blind."
CHELSEA (excited, but worried): "I had diarrhea!"

I am in my bathroom getting ready for the day by applying a little make-up. Chelsea comes in and stares up at me. She gets really excited and asks, "are you turning into a princess?"

MOM: "Give me a kiss Chelsea!"
CHELSEA: "No, only a boy!"
MOM: "Not until your married right?"
CHELSEA: "No mom, not until I am tall!"
