"thank you dumb"

title courtesy of mary. every night when we put mary down she says her "i love you"s and makes sure to say "thank you mom" and "thank you dad" several times. last night when we were going through our night time routine, mary said "thank you mom. thank you dumb." and i about fell over laughing. we're thinking she got a little mixed up and tried saying both mom and dad at the same time. thus, "dumb." either way, i had to bite my lip to keep from laughing out loud and disturbing mary. poor brent though. "she called me dumb." hahaha

in other mary news, last week i made milanesas for dinner. i worried how mary would like them, not because they aren't delicious, but because she doesn't like to eat meat really outside of chicken nuggets, hotdogs, and fishsticks. well, she was hesitant at first. but when she saw how much brent was enjoying it, she went and snatched one off his plate. and promptly got on the couch to eat it.

i tried posting a video of mary eating said milanesa but it wouldn't upload. surprise, surprise. so here's a link to the vid on youtube.

just for fun

last night jessica and tyler came over to play games. we ended up busting out the wii and bowling. now, mary LOVES bowling on the wii. whenever we go over to richard and julie's she wants to play. so anyway, after jessica and tyler left, mary was begging to play. she picked up a wii remote and start swinging it around. i stood behind her and actually played. but little mary thought it was all her.

and then, about a week ago while brent was chillaxing on the couch, mary decided to "play sleep." she does this a lot; where she says "night night" then lays down and makes her version of snoring noises. so while brent was resting on the couch, mary went up to him and told him that it was night night. she even covered them with pillows to block out the light. it was adorable.

this post titled: i don't know what to title this.

on january 2nd, the youngest koz brother got married. that's right, little Kelin (who is really not little at all. he's a giant), also known as banana, got married to a very sweet, beautiful girl (er woman) by the name of kendra. unfortunately, kelin got sick at the reception and missed...well, pretty much everything. so enjoy some pictures why dontcha?
from the moment we walked in, mary was mesmorized by the balloons. here she is blowing one up, with daddy's help of course.
here is the top of their cake. observe the beautiful crystal replica of the Bountiful temple, where kelin and kendra were married. here's kendra with the Reid's girls. of course they loved her all dressed up and beautified for the wedding day. she does look fabulous. and here's kelin with the Boscos. surprise shot of mary with gpa koz.mary befriended the daughter of the photographer. and they just so happened to be wearing similar dresses. only difference was mary's had a black top and the little girl's had a brown one. it was cute watching them play together.
gma koz (or great gma koz to mary) was in charge of the reception. she had several dancers come perform. here is one of the girls, doing...some dance. i don't know which dance it was, other than it was so very cool and i wish i knew how to move like that. at one point she asked people to come up to learn a dance. so mary and i went up and shook our hips to "banana," "coconut," "pineapple," some other fruit i can't remember, and "fruit basket."then great gma koz herself got up and performed a very beautiful hula with two friends from her club. after everything was over, mary got to keep some balloons (which are still inflated and inhabitating our place).

and then just for kicks n giggles, mary was taking a bath the other day when i discovered her hair is long enough to style in awesome 'dos with the aid of shampoo! awesome, right?she's discovered how fun it is to rinse herself off by dumping water all over her face.and for some reason she's giving me this very evil looking smile, all bwa ha ha ha. at least, it looks that way to me.
