The Houtz House: Testimony

Monday, August 6

Testimony

Seeing that yesterday was Fast Sunday and I don't like getting up in front of people, I thought that I would share a little of my testimony about prayers being answered on the blog.

When Carly was about 3 months old, one day she started crying and I tried everything to get her to stop. I said a little prayer to help me know what to do to comfort her and the thought "sing You Are My Sunshine" came into my head. Well, Hailey was in the room and I thought I can't sing that to Carly because of the line that says "my ONLY sunshine" cause Hailey is my sunshine too. But the thought came stronger to sing You Are My Sunshine, so I started singing. Almost immediately Carly stopped crying. When it was over Hailey said "sing it again mom" and so I kept singing it and I started crying because I realized that my prayer was answered. I was rubbing Carly's head and Hailey came over and started rubbing her head too. Wow! The spirit was so strong. Afterwards I realized that Hailey probably doesn't understand what the word ONLY means. I am so grateful that The Lord does hear and answer prayers.

Hailey Quotes

"I love that autumn red on that tree!"
"Oh wow, that's great mom! That's a fumbs up!"
"I see a flag ahoy!"
When counting, Hailey gets to 13 just fine, it's on the way to 20 that's a little shaky, "thirteen, sixteen, nine-een, twenty!"
"Mom, when I grow big like you, I will have a big bum like you!"
"I QUIT"
Every night before I shut the door to the girls bed room Hailey says, "Mom, don't forget, I love you!"
"Salt and griniver chips are my favorite!"
"Double dratz."
Hailey, "I'm upset." Me, "How come?" Hailey, "Because I can't find my zebra." She was talking about a stuffed zebra, and she couldn't find it because it was in the other room!
Her new favorite saying, "Whatever!"
Hailey came out of her room after a "nap" (she didn't take one) and said, "Mom. I have a injury." Then she found the Pez dispenser that she got on Valentines Day and the candy that goes in it and brought it too me and said, "Candy makes me feel better!"
When we were driving home from the hospital the first day we were in Arizona Hailey said, "Look at all the jungle trees!" pointing to the palm trees. Then she said, "We're in the jungle."
"Come forth mom."
"Mom. I just love you."
"I look hungry."
Me, "Hailey what do you want for lunch?" Hailey, "Nuffin'. I don't want lunch. Just throw everythig away. I JUST WANT CANDY!"
Hailey, "Mom you're are crazy!" Me, "Oh, I am?" Hailey, "No. Just you are silly. I am crazy!"
"I don't will." That means, I won't.
Hailey talking to one of her barbies that fell on the floor, "Oh, it's okay sweetheart."
"I don't did do it." That means, I didn't do it.
"We need some more paper toilet." What she means is toilet paper, for some reason we can't get her to say toilet paper, it's always paper toilet!
"Good job. You're fast. You're quick!"
Again this one is singing. "...Teach me things that I must dude, to libe wit him taday."
Singing, "Jesus wants me for a Sunbeep!"
"I lub eh eh m's!" talking about MandMs
"It's just like perfect."
Hailey calls her bum her body! So she will say something like, "I hurt my body" and she will mean that she hurt her bum.
Hailey likes to add "ed" to words that already end in "er". So for example if the word is faster she will say, "fastered." Now, this can be a little embarrassing if people only hear the ending of the word, do you know what I'm saying?
One of my nick names for Carly is Peanut. So when Carly grabs something that she shouldn't, I take it from her and say, "That's not for peanuts." The other night I overheard Hailey talking to Carly and she said, "No, no, that's not for peanuts."
"I just want to scoop over by ya."
Instead of "peace out" she says, "kiss out!"
"On my board!" said like "all aboard!"
"Do you see that real cowboy horsey?"
This is how Hailey counts to 20: "one, two, three, four, five, six, seben, eight, nine, ten, eleben, twelve, orteen, fixteen, sebenteen, eighteen, eleben, twenty"
One day Hailey burped and I said, "Hailey what do you say?" and she said, "I burped." and I said, "No, what do you say?" and she said, "I burped liked a dog."
