On our way home from church

Cambri invited a friend to church to see her Primary Program. On the way to drop her friend off, Cambri said, "Do you know how we knew Zac was a boy?...(extreme Mom anticipation right now)...We put a crown on my mom's belly and Zac kicked it off. That's when we knew he was a boy!"

WHEW!!!...wasn't quite ready to go over male anatomy, in the car, to a friend, that day!!!

Chris: The Walking Quote Machine - by Mindy

I haven't posted for a while, so I have TONS of Chris quotes for you. Here you go!!!

The Meaning of "Grounded"
Chris: "Mom, am I grounded from video games?
Mom: "Yep."
Chris: "Does that mean I'm gonna go at jail?"

Being Very Specific
Mom: "Chris, what did you do at preschool today?"
Chris: "I really, really, really know we did SOMETHING!"

Happy Birthday To You
Chris: "Someday on your birthday, you will be 100!"

Chris: "And then on your next birthday you'll be 200!"
Mom: "Chris, you are soooo funny!"

What Do Elephants Drink?
We went to the zoo with Aunt Serena, and we were watching the Elephant Presentation. One of the zoo-keepers was talking about the elephants when a little kid asked, "Do elephants eat peanuts?" The zoo-keeper said, "yes, but mostly they eat hay because it is better for them." Then Chris piped up (in his really loud voice), "Yeah, and when they're really thirsty, they drink COFFEE!"

Chris' Ultimate Wish
Chris: "Mom, sometimes we DON'T have to use hand sanitizer, because sometimes wishes really DO come true!"

Birthday?

So ever since Audree's birthday she has been obsessed with birthday cakes, presents and blowing out candles. She will walk around blowing at everything and say "birthday!!!" and then "mama....birthday cake?"

It's pretty cute! I think....

Sorry Mama!

Around 7:30 AM a few days ago I wake up to Audree crawling in my bed and saying this...

Audree: "mama, sorry....sorry mama, sorry!" (said in a really sweet/innocent voice)

Me: "what's wrong Audree, what did you do?" (worried that she broke something or made a huge mess"

Audree: "Poo poo in diaper....no treat!" "sorry mama"

I couldn't help but laugh and tell her that she's fine and doesn't need to be sorry about that.

(we've been trying to potty train and every time she goes in the toilet she gets a treat)

Touche' - by Katy

Last night, Cambri ate 10 pancakes and sausage!!! A HUGE step up from her dinner consumption of late! After dinner, we asked her to do something that she didn't want to do.

Mommy: and Mommies and Daddies work together to help create the bodies.

Dog Pile- by Katy

Grandma Becky and Grandpa Bob were watching Cambri and Adelie while we were gone.

They started a new tradition every night after reading scriptures. When they'd finish, everyone would dog pile on Gpa Bob.

Later that week, Gpa Bob was laying down on the bed and Adelie came in with all 15 of her Barbies. She threw them on Gpa Bob, who was probably sleeping, and said, "Dog pile!!!"

He was later found sleeping with 15 Barbies in his arms.

Paradox #1 - by Mindy

While we were in Kentucky, Chris and his cousin, Henry would play with the Tinker Toys a lot. Once in a while there would be a "sharing" problem. One time, Henry didn't want to share a certain piece with Chris, and it made him cry. Henry started calling him a "crybaby." Chris hated that, and responded to Henry with this request: "Don't say me a 'crybaby,' 'kay, cuz that will make me cry!"

Please help Rob to stay for ever.

Time Out....By Mele

I don't have to put Audree in time out any more....WHY???? well because she puts herself in Time Out now. She is going through terrible two's right now and so whenever she gets mad at us (which is a lot lately, is that normal?) she will just run to her room and slam her door. And she won't come out until SHE'S ready to talk to us again. Or all I have to say (when she has an episode) is do you want to spaz in your room? and she'll say yes then go to her room.
It's really hard not to laugh at her new Time Out idea!!!!!

Stinky!!!! By Mele

Last Sunday I was taking Audree to nursery. There happened to be this guy standing in the hall way and he must have let one rip because as we passed it smelled really bad. Well I obviously wasn't the only one who noticed because when we passed Audree grabbed her nose and started to yell "stinky, stinky, stinky!!!" and she got louder and louder until I agreed with her that "yes" it was stinky.
I was so embarrassed for that guy, and yet I thought Audree was pretty funny for pointing it out.

Christian's Fan Club - by Mindy

Christian: (spoken very definitively...) "Mom, you're my number one fan!"

He Laughs! By Katy

Finally! We caught him laughing on camera!

Is it Hot or Cold? By Mele

Mine isn't as good as Mindy's but I thought I'd post the most recent thing Audree has done.
The other day Audree was looking outside the window while it was snowing. Then she said COLD!!! and acted out a shiver. We thought she was so smart and knew exactly what she was talking about, but then we asked, "yeah that's snow....Audree is snow hot or cold?" We thought she was going to say cold again, but she took us by surprise by saying, "Oh HOT!!! HOT HOT HOT!!!" Then we asked if she was sure so she said, "UMMMMM no...Cold...no Hot....no Cold" and left it at that. Now whenever we ask her if the snow is hot or cold she'll just shrug her shoulders and walk away, like we're asking her a trick question so she doesn't want to answer.
Silly Girl!!!!

What kind of parents are you??? by Mindy

We have been reading "The Great Brain" books by J. D. Fitzgerald. In one of the books, a young boy's parents die and he becomes a foster brother to the main character. Joe had to explain to the boys what a "foster" brother and "foster" parents were. A few days later, while at the dinner table, Benson asked Joe, "How do we REALLY know if you and mom are our real parents?" After which Matthew blurted out, "Ya - you guys could be "IMPOSTOR" parents!!!"
