Steven and Chrystal Tandberg Family: We love you Daddy!

June 14, 2008

We love you Daddy!

Steven doesn't get to be with us on Father's Day so we are sending a Father's Day message out to him:

Daddy,
You are always there for me:

You were ready for me before I was born,

You were there to give me my first bath,

You bless me,

You are my study companion (or vice versa),

You help meet my needs,

You help me smile,

You carry me through my rough times and yours,

You have always been my best playmate!

You have always been there to lift me up!

I want to be like you!

You lead us in the right direction,

Are there for us,

Help us walk the right path.

Help us accomplish great things,

And are always reaching out to us!

Happy Fathers Day!
Kent Nerburn said "It is much easier to become a father than to be one." We know it's not easy, but we think you are doing well! You are such a wonderful father and husband. Thank you for all you do.
We love you!

Mariah says the darndest things...

Mariah certainly has interesting designations for things. Today she asked me for clean milk. I was getting Lylah some of her rice milk and evidently Maraih didn't want it. She pointed to the regular 1% milk and said that was clean milk. I asked her why it was clean, she told me, "because I said it was!" I really don't know where she got that!

At dinner Mariah told me she wanted dry water. I asked her what dry water was (after I could stop chuckling behind my hands) and she said water that came from our glass pitcher was dry water. I never quite figured out why that was dry water, although we do usually put ice cubes in it when we use the pitcher. hmmm... dry water...

The other day Mariah asked me for kid beans. At first I thought she wanted green beans because she loves them and could eat a whole can by herself. But she didn't want those. I eventually found out that she wanted kidney beans. Lylah likes to eat kidney beans, straight from the can and Mariah was jealous and wanted some.

We use sliced cheese for grilled cheese sandwiches, now Mariah calls that cheese "girl cheese."

One of my favorite things Mariah said was about a year ago. She came to me with a very concerned look on her face, "Mommy why doesn't the table have clothes on?" I had taken the tablecloth off and hadn't put another one on yet and she was worried about it.

When Lylah was a couple months old she got a hold of Mariah's hand and tried to put it in her mouth. Mariah laughed and said, "Mommy, Lylah is trying to eat the elbows on my hand!" Now if that is not a good way to descibe knuckles, I don't know what is!

Steven was trying to help Mariah learn how to catch the ball. He would throw the ball and she would look at him and miss it. He told her to keep her eye on the ball. She gave Steven a funny look and literally put her eye on the ball. Needless to say, we both started laughing.

We went hiking last week on Steven's day off. We were just getting going up a hill into the trees when Mariah turned to Steven and said, "Daddy I want the car." I didn't realize we were raising such a city girl. Looks like we need to get back out west soon!
