Miller Family of Four: June

June

June brought on my sister Catie's wedding. I have been planning this wedding with Catie since she got engaged in December. It was a beautiful wedding in the backyard of some friends who live in Alamo. There were only a few hiccups but all in all I think it was everything that she wanted. I know that Jamie was thrilled to see it all come together. I was in the wedding and so were the girls. I could not have done all that I did without my wonderful husband who used his muscles and truck to pick up a bazillion things whenever I asked him to. We made a great team! Cousins James and Kylie were also in the wedding so we got to spend the week with them at Gma and Papa's. They all had a great time playing together and we continue to wish that we lived closer. After the wedding we went up to our cabin in the Trinity mountains with our best friends the Brownies. It was a wonderfully relaxing time with the best of friends. All the kids enjoyed the great outdoors and driving the jeep around and around. The adults enjoyed talking and laughing together. This was our first time at the cabin since Ron's death which was hard as we all missed him but we were all able to remember fond memories of him. I think we will always feel closest to him while at the cabin, his favorite place.

Favorite Mattieisms

When taking her to her first Choir practice, "But I don't know what instrument I want to play."
"Chesnie, maybe you love John the Baptist?"
"I am ilarious" (hilarious)
When asked if she wanted another brother or sister, "Not really but I only like sisters, they are better."
She calls a trampoline a jumpoline.
After eating soup, "All that I have left is soup juice."
After we took our Christmas decorations down Mattie asked, "Do we have to take our tree back now?"
While watching TV-"This isn't the show, this is a commotion (aka commercial)."
"I want a turn to be the mom"
When passing a McDonald's sign she says, "M for Mattie!"
"I married Jesus"

Favorite Chesnieisms

"How big is Jesus?" Me: As big as the whole world. "That can't be. Then He would be fat and round like a ball."
"I wish I could fly but God made me a person."
She asks Matthew and me, "Do you guys cuddle like a sandwhich in bed?"
"I have been waiting my whole life for this zucchini!" (age 5)
"My fur sticks up when I am cold."
"My teeth are snapping together." (She is cold and her teeth are chattering.)
"My nose gets as hot and minty as this toothpaste when I brush my teeth."
"I like being 5 better than 4 cuz I'm so much older."
"The devil made weeds and he just keeps making them!"
"I wish that mosquitos would fly to hell and bite the devil so then he would die."
"Mom, please let me do whatever I want." She is four!
"My nose is miserable."
"I am going to miss you and mom when you die. Matthew asks if she will remember us and Ches says, "Well I will need to have a picture to remember."
Matthew is putting Chesnie to bed and she says, "Dad I like it when you lay with me because when you leave then my pillow smells like you."
"Why do geese poop?" Matthew says, "We all poop, everyone poops." Ches responds, "I don't think Jesus poops."
As she is on the potty going poop and Mattie is watching, "Watch out Mattie! Move back, you might get splashed!"
In the middle of the night, "I don't like this cough. Where did I get it? I want it to go away."
When asked if she wanted mommy to have another baby, "No, I want to be the baby."
"My hair is crazy, how does my hair get crazy?"
"I want to get married with my binkie."
"Mom, I want to fly. You need to buy some wings so that I can fly."
"Now you need to listen to your heart. It's speaking." I asked her what it was saying and she said, "It's saying thump, thump."
Ches was talking to herself at the dinner table and Matthew asked who she was talking to. "I am talking to Jesus."
After taking down our Christmas tree Ches says, "Can we go to Mt. Lassen tomorrow and get another tree?"
We tried for one night to take Chesnie's binkie away from her. We didn't get any sleep so we gave it back to her. She said, "It wasn't nice that you and mommy took my binkie away, it wasn't nice."
"I want long hair like Pocahantas"
"Something scares me, I think it was a storm."
She calls a flashlight-flashnight
"I want to kiss a boy"
