Funny children

Kids can just crack a person up sometimes! I thought I would share some of the recent conversations I have had with my kids!


A few weeks ago, I made a roast for Sunday dinner after church. Jon didn't have any homework that day, which hasn't happened for a long time. So we set the table and all sat down to eat, then Kaylee suddenly said, "OH, this is the BEST day EVER!!!" We said, "Why is this the best day ever?" And she responded, "Because we are eating dinner together as a family at the table!!"
*Doesn't that show what GREAT parents we have been lately? LOL!

Last week after one of the snow storms, I had to shovel the driveway because Jon hadn't showed me how to use the snow blower. Our driveway is massively huge, so it took a really long time. Kaylee was at school, and Kenzie was asleep so Abbie got into her snow clothes and came outside with me. She played in the snow while I shoveled. All of the sudden she comes running up to me and says, "Mom-- I am having such a bad day!" I asked, "Why are you having a bad day?" And she said, "Because of all this snow!"

 On Thanksgiving morning, Abbie came in and climbed into bed with Jon and me. She has been waking up fairly early lately, anyway, I said, "Abbie, do you know what today is?" And she said, "No, what?" I said, "Thanksgiving!" and she asked, "what's that?" I said, "It's where we eat lots of food." And she responded, "No mom. It's because the Pirates got on BIG BOATS and came here!"
*I think she mixed up a few stories somewhere! Still, very cute!

                                                         *                 *               *

My parents went to Texas for Thanksgiving to spend it with my sister and her family. Yesterday I had to go pick them up from the airport. Kaylee was at school, so Abbie and Kenzie were with me. We got my parents and Annie picked up and started driving home, and my mom said, "Abbie, did you have a nice Thanksgiving?" And she said, "No, I didn't. But KK did!" (She calls Kaylee KK). Everyone started laughing then my mom said, "Did you miss me?" And she said, "No. But KK did."
Well there ya go....

Abbie has been a thumb sucker, Jon wanted her to stop, so it wouldn't screw up her teeth. He told her if she quit sucking her thumb she could have anything she wanted. Well, she said she wanted a Barbie Plane and a Barbie Kitchen. Jon said okay--- she quit sucking her thumb the next day. I told her if she kept not sucking her thumb then we would ask Santa to bring those. Well, the Barbie Plane is $90--- thought you would like to know that---- luckily I found a Little People Plane on sale at Shopko for $14.99---she wont know the difference will she???

Speaking of Christmas, we have been asking the girls what they want for Christmas. Kaylee didn't really answer the question at first. But immediately Abbie said, "I want candy...... AND a lollipop!! That's all" I guess that is easy enough, right? We asked her again a week later and she said, "I want my own pillow pet..........AND my own eggnog!! That's all!" (Kaylee got two pillow pets for her birthday, and she gave Abbie one of them, but Abbie thinks it's still Kaylee's I guess.) She also keeps saying she wants a Barbie Plane. I guess I could make Barbie vinyl and put it on the Little People Plane, right? Anyway, so Kaylee hasn't really said a lot when we have asked her. So today I asked her, and she said, "I want some Squinkies..... AND my own Ipod!" Hmmmm, let's see---- she is 6!! And she is already asking for an Ipod..... it's gonna be some fun times with that little girl!

 Anyway, my girls have been cracking me up lately. They come up with the funniest stuff. It makes life such a joy!

It's totally worth the hard work in the end, right??

Much Fun!

I know, I am never on the ball when it comes to blogging. But I always eventually get around to it. Last month Abbie went on a Field Trip to Black Island Farms.

I couldn't go to the beginning, so my Mom took her, she said that Abbie went straight to the Pumpkin she wanted and sat down next to it so nobody else would take it.

This was Abbie with a few of my cousins kids. They all go to the same Preshool. It is fun to still get to see family so often.

Me and my girls!

They always have so much fun together. They are really best friends.

I know I did a Halloween post already, but I couldn't help but post this adorable picture of my nephew Noah.

And my brother Jay and his wife Bethany AKA Mario and Peach!

My little Kaylee turned 6 on November 12th. She had her first Birthday Party with her friends. It was a lot of fun. Except, even though I planned everything, there was half an hour left and I didn't have anything left to do. Half the kids wanted to do something, and the other half didn't and vice versa, but I think it all turned out okay. 

I made those cute ice cream cone cupcakes. They were so easy and the kids loved them. They were also way less messy than regular cupcakes.

Kaylee's cute Kindergarten picture. We were able to order a disk with the pictures on it, which was very nice. Especially for digital scrapbooking!

Our nephew Noah celebrated his first Birthday the same day as Kaylee's birthday. So, Emily and Danny had a Birthday Party for him. He is so adorable and it was lots of fun.

This was Jon and Kenzie at the Birthday Party. They really know how to party as you can see. I think this picture is just precious.

EXCITING!! Annie got her mission call.......

Sister Love-- called to serve in the Arcadia California mission Spanish Speaking. She will enter the MTC on Feb 23rd.

Nick and Stacey were there for the call.....

Annie also turned 22 last week, so we celebrated her birthday.

Halloween

 We had some fun Halloween times this year!

This was Saturday night when we took the kids trick or treating.

This was actually a week before when we went to our ward Halloween Party!

This was at my cousin, Heathers, Halloween party. She does such a good job at throwing a party!

The whole group

Every year my dad make a pumpkin man for Halloween. This year the Pumpkin man dressed up as Santa and Rudolph.
