This happened just 4 days before Miss Peyton was born.
Earlier tonight Benjamin asked me what was wrong. I told him that I was having some pain in my belly. He said, "Is your Peyton hurting?"

"Don't Walk"
January 13, 2008
A few days ago Ben and I were in the van making a U turn and Ben noticed the "Don't Walk" sign. You know, a little stick figure like man turned sideways walking? Anyway, he really started to laugh and said, "Mommy, that man have no hands!" (mind you he was 2 at this time) I said, "That man has no hands?" He replied, "Yeah, and that man has no hair!" Next time you are out and about, take a look, he's right.
Soon after this, I was at home helping get the playroom cleaned up. Jacob was watching Micah play a video game. I got in his way while putting something away and he said, "Mommy, your big fat bum is in the way!" Yikes, they sure tell it like it is.

My little helper, Jacob
January 6, 2008
I wasn't feeling well and was laying down. Ben was still in the tub and was ready to get out. I asked Jacob if he could get Ben his towel. He left my room to help Ben and awhile later I was calling for Ben to bring me a diaper because I didn't want him to "potty" anywhere. Well, Jacob said that Ben was almost ready. He had gotten Ben out of the tub, had him drain the water, dried him off, diapered him and gotten him completely dressed for church! Socks, shoes, tie, undershirt, the whole works, and he looked great. Jacob said that he liked doing it, it was fun!

Make your hair!
November 13, 2007
One morning last week I had asked Micah and Jacob if they had made their beds. Ben looked at his bed and said, "My bed not made mommy." It was pretty cute, but even cuter than that was a few minutes later when he saw himself in the closet door mirror and said, "My hair not made mommy." Of course he said this because he had bedhead and his hair was sticking up and very messy. I love how kids put things into words!

Stinks like me
September 25, 2007
Yesterday Jacob was hiding in the hamper, atop mine and Tyler's dirty clothes. He yelled out, "Yuck! Mommy what stinks so much like you in here?" Nice huh? I sure felt lovely.

Illiterate, edible and eager
August 24, 2007
A few things about Micah and Jacob's 1st day of school. 8-20-07
Jacob was talking to Tyler about school, telling him he loved it and everything, and then he said, "But I didn't learn to read."
During the afternoon, he, Jacob, was eating fruit snacks and telling Ben that he was going to smush a whole bunch together and make an "edible ball."
Micah learned a new word from his teacher on the 1st day and told me that he was, "eager to go to school," and that was why he woke up too early.

Shaver Lake Cross
August 20, 2007
We went to Shaver Lake on Saturday, 8-18-07. The lake was so low that some of the docks were just laying up on dry ground. Jacob, seeing one of these said, "Someone gigantic must have died there." The dock looked like a huge cross. Jacob knows that when someone dies in a traffic accident people will often place a cross at the scene of the accident. So, he came to the conclusion that since it was a huge cross, someone gigantic died there!
