Fun Times

We went out to Tucano's for dinner. Here are my very beautiful and handsome siblings.

Leah and Russell on one of the kid bouncers and Kangaroo Zoo! They loved it and so did I!

They have to go on a tractor ride if they go to Utah. So here is Sam with Grandpa Jay clearing the snow with the tractor.

Sister Haws comes home!!!!! It was so good to see her! She looks great and it was so fun to spend some time with her before she headed up to BYU-I and we headed home.

Two little nutheads. Grandma always gets cute pj's for the kids. We exchanged gifts and ate lots of food and just had fun on New Year's Eve.

I just took Madi and Ellie there a couple weeks ago and they loved it too. We miss you guys and the ward. Hope you're doing good. Talk to you later.; January 28, 2008 at 10:05 AM

Quotes

Troy: While reading/looking at the book Ten Little Rubber Ducks he yelled at Leah who was playing loudly with Millie, "Stop it Leah! I'm trying to concentrate!"

Sam: in the car "It smells like throw up in here." Leah: I think it smells like brownies."

Troy: "My feet are the bad guys." Said while kicking his baby sister.

Troy: "That sounds like a good idea." When offered a mini candy bar for going potty.

Leah: "All I really eat at McDonald's is french fries and a Diet Coke"

Leah: "Don't you DARE pick me up from school today."

Troy: "Mom! I count, YOU hide! k?"

Troy: "Hode me, I sfe-ood" Translation: Hold me, I'm scared.

Leah: "Crickets eat people who have red cars."

Things I've Learned...

Children are very trusting. Leah caught me eating a handfull of M&M's. She asked me what I was eating and in an effort to avoid sharing with her I told her I was eating "beans". At first she didn't believe me but I insisted. Today she has asked for some "beans" about three different times.
--Shaunie learned that humans are mammals, but Leah had a hard time grasping the idea. She ended up just calling her dad a "manimmal" instead.
--When Leah says "Mom, I'll hold it for you." She really means "Mom, I'll take that from you and eat it."
--You can take pictures of pictures with your digital camera (goodbye scanner!)

Nakie

We were on our way to get Sam from preschool a couple weeks ago (when the weather was nice) and a neighbor down the street was washing his car. He didn't have his shirt on because the sun was still pretty warm. Leah pointed at him as we walked by and said "Look Mommy, he is nakie!" She couldn't believe that someone would go out without clothing. How wrong! I tried to explain that he was just hot so he wasn't wearing his shirt, but she insisted that he was 'nakie'. Then she asked as if she had found the only solution, "Where's his mommy?"

GO to BED!

Last night we were coming home from an errand and Leah was really upset. She was missing her old, brown car seat (yes, the fact that it was brown was very important). She was whining like we had taken away her most beloved doll. Oh the injustice of giving her brown car seat away! She loved that car seat and now that was all she wanted in the whole world. After a while of listening to her whine Sam piped up, a little fatigued of her complaints and said, "Leah, just go to bed!" In quick retort and without skipping a beat, Leah replied "But I will just dream about my brown car seat!"
