Our rockin' awesome vacation
Our vacation to Idaho was a blast and we loved it! We planned on spending equal time with both of our families. Due to illness, we didn't get to see as much of Ben's family as we hoped. We did have a great time with them though and we love them just the same. Below are some pictures Lonnie took while we were with them. We aren't sure why they are small, but hopefully you can still see how good they are.
I loved every post! It looks like you guys had so much fun! You can make all your post appear by going to Layouts, then the "settings" tab. Then change the number of posts to how many you want to appear on the front page. I do it all the time with the Family Letter Blog. Just a tip! Love ya!
Becky Belnap Maynard! AHHHH! I'm just finally getting the blog bug and I'm finding all the people I love that I have lost touch with! I can't believe you're now a family of four! Those blonde haired, blue eyed kids definitely look like their parents! Anyway, check out my blog!
Becky! How in the world are you? Don't know if you'll remember me from a long time ago (those good 'ol BYU-I days), this is Melissa Morales. Your kids are adorable! I can't believe how big Mary is. Anyways, I'll probably be checking your blog out now just to see what's going on with you guys.
Me: William, Netflix isn't working, the internet keeps freezing. William: Why mom, is it on ice?
Me, talking to Mary's friend Ella.
Me: So Ella, what is it like having twin brothers?
Ella: It is fun, and I laugh when my mom feeds them.
Me: Why do you laugh?
Ella: Because she feeds them at the same time and it is funny.
Mary: She can't feed them at the same time.
Me and Ella: Why not Mary?
Mary: Because she only has one bellybutton.
Ben: Does anyone know why William's mouth is bleeding?
Sam: Maybe someone put a fingernail in it.
Ben: Sam..did you put a fingernail in William's mouth?
Sam: No, the prophet did.
Becky: "Hey Mary, what do you think of Uncle Tyler's new mustache?"
Mary: "Well, it does look better than yours."
Grandma JoJo in the McDonalds Drive through, after the guy gave her the food..
JoJo: "Thanks a million."
Mary: "Was his name amillion?"
Mary: "Hey mom..I know what time it is.
Becky: "Oh really, well, what time is it?"
Mary: "It is 3 PMS"
After an entier day of Sam bawling his eyes out from getting his two year molars.
Mary: "Dad, I am sick of babies crying all day. I just need to go somewhere where I can be a kid...like Chucky Cheeses."
(the commercial for the place says "where a kid can be a kid." She has never been there, and neither have I, but obviously, we will go soon.
This is a conversation Mary had on the phone with grandma.
"I have too many necklaces, so my mom bought some hookers. We put the hookers in my room and I put all of my necklaces and bracelets on them. Now my necklaces aren't all over anymore. I like my hookers."
(she is talking about the hooks I hung on her wall in her "Diva Corner.")
Mom: Hey Mary guess what! I have a baby in my tummy. You will get a new baby brother or sister soon.
Mary: Looking at my tummy..."Well, where is it?"
Mom: It is so small that you can't tell it is there yet. In a while the baby will get bigger and so will mommy's tummy. Then you will be able to see it all better.
Mary: Oh yeah! And then you POP!!!!
Mom: No, I don't exactly "pop" Mary.
Mary: Of course you do, just like a balloon. They get bigger and bigger and then they just pop! Don't be scared mom, it will be o.k. , I really like balloons.
Mary: (holding up a dollar she found). "Hey mom, I have some cash!"
Mom: "Sam, you need to behave a little better please."
Sam:"But mom, I am being have.
Mom:"huh?"
Sam: "how can I be have if I don't even know who have is?"
Mom: Mary's lets get in the car. Mary: Are we taking the "stick?" (she meant stick shift, cracks me up)
Dad:"Sam, have fun at preschool and remember what we talked about ok."
Sam:"I know,I know, be nice to the humans."
Mary: Why do you not say anything when you read your scriptures? Ben: Because I read them in my head, kind of like when Jesus speaks to us, he speaks to us in our minds.
Mary: Well, how does Jesus fit in there?
Mary: Pointing to a complete stranger sitting on the sidewalk smoking.. "See mom, there is the man ( it was actually a woman) that smokes. He is going to DIE!!!"
Luckily the woman just laughed and said, "she is probably right."
Mary: "I saw Jesus' foot today, he almost stepped on our house."
Mary.."So mom, is Jesus' middle name Christ?" Is His name Jesus Christ Maynard?"
Mary: "Grandma came here and told me to do it, then she left really fast."
Mary: when she is in trouble (yelling) "mom...here's the deal, lets just talk about it, you are my very best friend!"
Mary: "I have a baby in my tummy. His name is Choko, he is 36months old."

Sorry, it's the "Settings" tab, then go to "formatting." Sorry.
