Fireworks and boogers

July 13, 2007

Last week Tyler was laying with Benjamin (2 yrs old) on our bed when Benjamin tooted. Tyler laughed and Ben giggled and said, "fireworks" or in his way it sounds like, "piyawutz"

Just a few minutes ago Micah was yelling at for me but Tyler made it to him first and he said something about a moth flying into our house. Tyler asked him where it flew in from and Micah told him it flew in from the slider. Tyler asked Micah how, Micah said, "I opened it." Tyler asked why he had opened it and Micah said, "To flick a booger out, OK!"

Star Wars

Saturday June 9, 2007

My kids were coloring earlier today and they left some crayons and coloring books on the table. I have been known to enjoy coloring every now and again, so I decided to sit down for a few minutes and color. The kids books are pretty full of scribbles and half finished pictures, so I like to go through and color those. So I find a picture in the Star Wars coloring book that we've had for quite a long time. It is a picture of Luke using his light saber to slash down some vines, and he apparently sees Darth Vader. So I finish coloring it and show Micah, my oldest son who just completed 1st grade, He says, "Oh, that looks good Mommy, but I wonder why I colored Luke
(Bispin) wearing green clothes, I guess I colored it before I knew much about Star Wars." He finished off with a little laugh like he was somewhat amused by his ignorance. I asked him what color his clothes should be and he said very matter of fact, "Umm, like a yellowish orange color." How does he know all these characters so well? Princess Leia Slave is the one with the skimpy bikini thing and so on....

To drink or not to drink, that is the question!

May 26, 2007

While attending church in Nana Byn's and Papa ron's ward we were listening to Uncle Brent give his homecoming talk. Micah had been whining about how thirsty he was so I finally told him to go ahead and get a drink but to be quiet and fold his arms. He left, walking very reverently and returned shortly after, the same way. This time he was whining that he couldn't get a drink with his arms folded! My son is SO literal most of the time!

True love, or not.

April 26, 2007

Jacob was being very sweet and loving with me today. He told me he loved me several times in just a few minutes, seconds even, he gave me lots of hugs and kisses too. Later, after Tyler was home, Jacob told me that he only did that so I'd let him have his Nintendo playing priveledges back! It had really touched me, how sweet and loving he had been to me, so hearing his confession really made me cry. After Jacob saw how sad he had made me he told me that he was just joking.

Um, bones

April 5, 2007

So, Tyler really doesn't want me to post this one, but I want it for my records, it's funny, and I don't think anyone reads this blog!

I was just telling my mom about a few of the stories in here and she asked if I had recorded the following story. I hadn't, so here it is...
When Micah was about 3 years old, he told Nana Paula that he had bones all over his body. Nana said, "Yes, that's right." He told her that he didn't have one in his penis and she said, "Right, you don't." He was quiet for a bit, thinking, and then he said, "Well, sometimes I do."

The yawning birds

April 5, 2007

There was a dove outside making dove noises and Jacob said, "Mommy, hear that noise?" I said, "It's a bird." He said, "Why's it doing that?" I told him I didn't know and he said, "I think that's how it yawns."

This afternoon Morgan and I cut the boys hair and gave them each a bath. When Jacob was getting dressed he said, "I look like a girl!" We turned to see what he was talking about and he was leaning against the bottom bunk and he was "tucked in".

My little girl

This afternoon Morgan and I cut the boys hair and gave them each a bath.  When Jacob was getting dressed he said, "I look like a girl!"  He was leaning against the bottom bunk looking in the mirror and his underwear were halfway up and his penis was tucked between his legs.
