Daddy's song

December 26, 2006

Tyler was singing a made up song to Jacob and Jacob asked him to stop because, "It gives my thumb a headache."

The Luv Cub

  Jacob was getting dressed for church with his Luv Cub (toy bear that whines for hugs and food, etc.) next to him.  I (Tyler) walked in the room and he said, "This Luv Cub keeps bothering me!"  He keeps on asking for hugs and stuff while I'm trying to get dressed."  I quickly pointed out that he should now know how a parent feels.

Drunk

December 10, 2006

We were driving to Nana Byn and Papa Ron's house for Sunday dinner and the boys were watching the Book of Mormon DVD in the van. The story about the Nephites escaping the Drunken Lamanites was on and Micah asked what "drunk" meant. I told him that when people drink alcohol they can get drunk and it makes them act stupid and do weird things. He was quiet for a while and then asked if Adam (Aunt Lindsay's boyfriend at the time) drank alcohol. I said, "Yes." and Micah asked, " Is that why Adam did all those big splashes in the pool." Jacob then asked why Aunt Lindsay brings Adam with her evrywhere. Micah said, "She doesn't." That was the end of that conversation.

The many uses of hot water.

Micah got out of bed and went to the bathroom. I followed him in to see what he was up to. Before I had a chance to ask he said, "I'm just going to melt the crust off my nose..." I had raised eyebrows, so he continued, "you know, with hot water."

Engineer Dad

Wednesday, November 8, 2006

I'm really sick right now, strep throat again. I always seem to get that, I think it may be time to have my tonsils removed. Tyler took work off to take care of the boys and Lilly so I could take care of myself. I even got to take a nap. I kept waking up because I heard sawing, I was also worried that Ty would forget to pick Micah up from school, anyway, the sawing was Tyler and Jacob cutting up this huge box that our water storage container came in (trying to build up our emergency preparedness and food storage). So, they made this really cool fort type thing. It has 2 chimmneys, a door on one side and windows on all sides, but here is how he did better than I would have, he rigged it so that you can open the windows from inside the box by pulling 3 different pieces of twine. The windows can all close too. So, that's an engineer for you! When Micah got home from school, yes, Tyler did manage to get him on time, why I worry, I don't know. Sometimes I mistakingly think that I'm the only one that can handle things properly when it comes to the kids and the house. So, Micah comes home and is really excited about the box and going on and on about how cool it is, awesome, to be exact. It was really cute to hear the excitement in his voice. I love when they get to do cool stuff with their dad, I wish he could stay home too, sniff sniff.

Porkageez

November 2006

Micah and Tyler were saying things is Portuguese and Micah says, "Porkageez" so, Tyler corrects him and says, "Por too ges" and Micah replies, "Is that how you say Porkageez in Porkageez?"
