Teya is a talker, just like her mama. She chatters all day long with so much expression in her voice. It sounds like she's trying out for a play the way she annunciates and emphasizes her words. I guess the dramatic gene has spread to her too ; ) People always tell us she sounds like a little teenager, it's really pretty funny to listen to. Anyway, I thought I'd share some of the things she's said lately that have put a smile on my face.When we were driving out to New Hampshire we stopped at a Super 8 hotel our second night. When Teya walked in she took a quick survey of the room, then spread her arms out in joy and exclaimed, "I just LOVE our new house!! It's so beautiful Mom!" We tried to explain that it was just a hotel room but she said, "No, remember, you said our new house was white and LOOK! The walls are WHITE! I really love our new house!"
We got a good laugh out of that. If she was that impressed with a Super 8 hotel room it shouldn't take much to please this kid!
When we went to meet our neighbors across the street, Teya couldn't take her eyes of the father, who is going bald. I guess Teya hasn't really had a lot of contact with bald men because she was pretty confused. We were trying to get to know them and make a good impression but Teya just kept staring with big eyes. Finally she interrupts our conversation, points to his head and says,
"Daddy, why is his hair like that?"
We were both blushing and trying to laugh it off like, "oh hahaha, what a silly little girl" But she kept talking and pointing,
"See LOOK DADDY! His hair and your hair are different sizes!"
I was kind of mortified but the guy and his wife just started laughing and he said, "Well that's a nice way to put it."
She definitely isn't shy when it comes to talking to grown ups either. We were at a dinner party the other night and there were lots of snacks out. Teya was sitting by the snack table and one of the men came over and started munching on chocolate covered pretzels. As she watched him put one after another in his mouth she finally piped up and said,
"Excuse me, if you keep eating those your tummy's going to get sick."
He just smiled and said, "Okay" Then kept right on eating them.
Teya watched a little longer than said,
" I REALLY have to tell you this, you shouldn't eat all those treats, you're going to get sick!"
I don't think he was expecting to hear that from such a little person.: )
And my personal favorite, The other day she was upstairs playing by herself when she randomly yelled down the stairs, "MOM, I NEED YOU TO BRING ME LOTS OF FOOD SO I CAN HIBERNATE!! JUST GRAB SOME GRAPES AND BANANAS AND BRING THEM TO MY CAVE!"
I really have no idea where that came from but I definitely got a good laugh out of that girls imagination!

Oh man, the bald guy one really had me laughing. ok gotta share- My dad is bald, and (don't tell but) he wears a "hairpiece." He came to visit over Thanksgiving and Makenzie and Jarom were FASCINATED when they went in our guestroom and saw grandpa's HAIR on the dresser! He is actually moving out here to UT this weekend (staying w/ us for a lil while), and I told Makenzie and she said, "grandpa whose hair comes off??" That's like all she remembers.
Ok and one more- when I took the kids through the JFK airport, we were in line at a pizza place and a black family was behind us. Poor little Utah girl Makenzie couldn't stop staring. She started poking me and pointing. I tried to just say "uh huh, ok don't point" and she goes "MAN. they really got a black sun tan!" uuugghhh
Love it!!! I love listening to kids - just can't help smiling!
Teya is sooo cute. She seriously is a carbon-copy of her mom! haha Just a littler version. Love it!!
Oh man all of these had me cracking up. Maybe you guys should have just stayed in the Super 8 Motel for a few months. Ha ha! And I think she has the right idea about hibernating...I think I will join her! :)
She's hilarious! and soooo smart! Hopefully her proper form of talking will rub off on Maile and help her get rid of her lisp. Side note: Mason told us yesterday that his teacher told him that there were a lot of Murdocks who fought in the "Silver War." It took us a few seconds to figure out he meant "Civil War."
Haha! I think she's like a mix of Rachel and Lizza - super dramatic like Rachel, combined with super outgoing-ness of Lizza. That combo is bound to lead to tons of laughs. I love the hibernate quote!! It's so funny when stuff like that comes out of nowhere!
Those are so great! I love the hibernation one. I love when they get in their little worlds that become so real to the. And how sweet is the motel comment? Seriously she is cute!
Haha, she is such a cute little girl. I am glad she puts things so nicely. I sure do wish we lived closer.
hey--I used imovie for my little video...it's super easy to use! I think the more updated version is better though:) Thanks for your sweet comments:)
Oh I love the "grapes and bananas" too funny
She is so funny! Kids are so funny with the things they come up with! I wish some of my kids would hibernate for a day or two....
Oh MY GOODNESS!! That is the funniest thing I have ever heard. I love Teya, her imagination is going to make her some big bucks one day! :O
She is so adorable! How fun to see her little personality develop. Or should I say 'big' personality? I sure wish you were back here so she and Alli could be playmates. They'd have a blast together!
