i had the opportunity to take my niece, eviejane, to ballet lessons the other week. she's a firecracker. she's been featured on here before, and i'm grateful to be around a little one every now and again. my other nieces and nephews are adorable as well, but i just don't see them as much. i'm amazed at the way they think and what they say. bill cosby expressed it best when he said, "kid's say the darnedest things." i wonder what theo's up to? one thing that eviejane said on the way to ballet was, "when i went to grandma cami's in her utah..........." i had to clarify what she meant by that so i asked, "is grandma cami's utah, arizona?" she said, "um, yeah." i then asked, "so you refer to her 'home' as 'her utah?'" she said, "um, yes." i like to talk to eviejane as if she is an older teenager, because that's how i hear her sometimes. i'm grateful to have a utah where i can go and feel safe and warm. bless this utah.
