Hiking to Fifth Water Hotsprings

The springs.

Ian and the girls enjoyin.

The girls zonked out on the way back.

Ian says to Xim after she has eaten 20 berries and grabbing for more, "If you eat anymore berries your going to get diarrhea!". Five minutes later, when Ian is pouring himself his 5th glass of wine, "Papa, if you drink anymore wine your going to get diarrhea!"-Xim.

Singing the "ABC" song with Xim, "A-Z, now I know my Abc's next time..." "THEY'RE MY ABC's MOM!!!", "oh!..... so sorry, now I know Xim's abc's...."

How to make milk:

"You take 2 cups of water, then 2 cups of salt. Pour it in the bowl..... Where's the chocolate chips?.... you put some chocolate chips in and stir it like this....... That's how to make milk."
-Xim

rock on.

Xim stories

Last night while laying next to my beautiful Xim, she told me a few stories. They made me smile, so I thought I would share...
" Mom, I saw a rainbow looking at me, so I fly up to it and eat it up. I eat the whole rainbow and put it in my belly. The clouds are mad and eat me up!"

"Remember at the pool there was a mean frog and bite my finger off! The frog went home with us and sat in time out, cuz he was being mean. Then he wanted to say sorry and make it all better. He hugged me and put my finger back on, he glue it back and wash it off, and it was all better."

Me: " Maybe we will go visit your friend Holden soon." Xim: " I can hold his hand and walk around! Then I will put him in my purse........... Is Holden a baby, Mom?" "No, Xim, Holden is a big kid like you. He is 3 years old!" "OH! Is he growing BIG boobies?" "No, Holden is a boy, he can be a Papa some day." "MY BOOBIES ARE GROWING BIG LIKE YOURS MOM!" "Yes, someday you can be a Mama and have big boobies and you can feed your babies your milk." "I will feed my chickens my milk!..... Do I have chickens, Mom?"


I love my quirky, beautiful little girl.
