Big Cowboy says...

 Mark cracks me up. 

He talks and talks and talks and then talks a little more. 

He says the funniest things too... 

Mark: Mom you are beautiful, you are the queen. I will be the king and Luke will be the servant.
Luke: No!
Me: I don't think Luke wants to be the servant.
Mark: Okay, then Johnny will be cuz, he can't talk!


Mark: Hey mom, I've been thinking and I know what I want for my birthday.
Me: Oh, yeah, what?
Mark: A crane. Like a big crane. Not a toy crane. A big crane. A big crane that I can work on. Like for real, not a toy one. And a rocket. But one that is made out of a box. And a new hat for my Woody. And super glue it to his head so I can't loose it.


I was sitting at the computer the other day and I heard a cry and yell and then a scream. So I went in the living room where the boys were playing and I said, "what is going on?" To which Mark replied, "Luke was dragging Johnny across the room, so I had to hi-ya-ti-chop him!"

Oh that cowboy. He keeps me on my toes!

But, he can be oh so sweet!

Kid Quotes

Mark: Can I have some milk momma?

Allie: Be careful Mark, if you drink too much milk you're gonna turn into milk.

Me: How about he'll turn into a cow. Cow's make milk.

Mark: No, momma, cows made of hamburger.

Dustin: Hey, is today fast Sunday?

Me: Yeah I think it is.

Allie: On fast Sundays you don't treats.
You only get treats on slow Sundays.

Angel Kisses

A few days ago Allie was in the bathroom brushing her teeth. All the sudden she started yelling and calling my name and ran into the living room where I was sitting.

I said, "Allie, what is wrong?"
and she answered, "Mom! There are dots all over my nose."





I giggled a little and told her to come look at my nose. I showed her that I had the dots too and that they're called freckles. I told her they are little angel kisses.

She thought about that for a minute and then said, "Did the angels kiss me because I'm so cute?"
"Yes, Allie they did."

Funnies

Allie

The other day Dustin took Allie to the Lost City Museum. When she got home I asked her how it was and what she saw. 

She said, "We saw Indian jewelry and things Indians used to kill their food. There were things we're not posed to touch. And there was an old phone too. Oh and did you know the signs says 'Lost City Museum'? Well me and daddy found it."

Mark

I was laying by Mark the other night and he hugged me tight and said, 

"Mom, no bad guys get you. I shoot em."

Dustin

{Another} The other night, Allie came to mine and Dustin's bed. I woke up a little then rolled over and went back to sleep. A little while later I felt warm.... and wet.

Allie peed in the bed!

So I said to Dustin, "Hon, Allie peed."

to switch he said,

"Just put some newspaper down."

Seriously???!!

2:00 am is not the time to fight... so I let him lay in the pee and I slept in Allie's bed.

Freaky Friday

Yesterday was kinda of a bummer of a day... I'm going to blame it all on the fact that it was Friday the 13th.
Luckily, I have some pretty funny kids and when they aren't driving me crazy, they are making me laugh.

Estefan: Reading is hard. Its boring and hard. The older I get, the less pictures there are in the books!

 Allie: I am a princess, I don't have to work.

Me: Well then how will you get money.

Allie: From the taxes of course.

Me: ....

Mark: When daddy be home?

Me: At dinner time.

Mark: Dinner, yucky. Me hate dat. Daddy no come home.

(note to self: Mark doesn't like sweet and sour chicken.)

Kid Quotes

My kids say the craziest, silliest, most off the wall things almost every single day. I used to be really good at writing the funny things they say down, or blogging about them. But like most other things lately, I've been slacking. And its so fun to look back and read all the cute things they said or did. Now that we're having another one I'm not sure how I'll keep up with four... maybe I'll get some kind of super power or learn some Jedi skills that will help me!

Here are some of the things they've said in the last week. Enjoy!

Mark

Mark has become a little motor-mouth! He certainly keeps me on my toes and makes me watch my mouth.

Some of my favorites (or at least the ones I can think of right now):

Too bad

I pooped. Change it

Minute (when you ask him to do something, his response is always "minute")

lishrish = licorice

 wuvewtu = Love you

Outside Me

Rhino ride, NOW

For-whewer key, peez?

Sha = sure

Allie

The other evening we were all sitting outside enjoying the nice night. Allie was swishing and flicking a stick she picked up and she ran over to me and said,

"Mom, I'm practicing witch crap!"

 I laughed so hard I cried.

 Estefan

Yesterday we were getting ready to go to Lin's and Estefan and I had the following conversation:

Me: Ok, we're getting ready to go to the store, I'm gonna get stuff for your special birthday dinner. Do you know what you me to make?

Estefan: MEAT!

Me: Ok, sounds good. Do you want anything on the side? (I'm thinking salad, jello, chips...)

Estefan: A1!

Again, I laughed so hard I cried a little.

I love my kiddos so much. I'm truly blessed to me their mom. I can't wait to have another one. Ten weeks down... 30 to go! I wonder what crazy things he or she will say??!

A Conversation about Rain

We've had a tremendous amount of rain the last few days. I'm not talking about normal Moapa rain. I'm talking flood the Muddy - fill the lake - RAIN!

Today we had a playdate with Elise. On the way home from picking her up I experienced the following conversation...

Allie: Mom what is that noise?
Me: That is the sound of rain hitting our windshield.
Allie: Why is it hitting us? Why is it making that noise?
Me: Well when something hits something else it makes a noise. So when the rain hits our truck that noise happens.
Allie: Well its not nice to hit. Jesus would not like the rain to hit me.
Elise: Rain is good. It makes our plants grow.
Me: Yes and our grass too.
Allie: If the rain hits me will I grow?
Elise: No, you only grow on your birthday.

Hope you are enjoying the rain, as much as I am!

Cinder-mommy

Today, while I was cleaning the floor, Allie came up to me and said,

"Mom, you look just like Cinderella."

I think she ment this Cinderella...

but I'll pretend she ment this one...

Bittersweet

Quotes from this weekend:

A prayer before we drove off
Dustin: "Bless us to be safe and drive in...style...amen"
Me: "Drive in style, really?"
Dus: "What? I already said safe. Driving in style won't hurt."


Dus: "Allie, should we go swimming when we get to our hotel?"
Allie: "I don't know. Not if there is crocodiles. I don't want to swim if there is crocodiles."


Me: "Allie will you pick up your my little pony?"
Allie: "Its not your little pony. Its my little pony."
Me: "Allie, its called my little pony."
Allie: "But its really mine."


We went to the Church History Museum while we were in Salt Lake
Dus: "Allie look at this statue. Its angel Moroni, just like on the top of the temple."
Allie: "He has really big toes."


Allie: "Can I give Jesus a hug when we see Evie's baby (Eliana)?
Me: "Of course you can. But do you think we'll see Jesus?"
Allie: "Yes. He was at the hospital with Evie's baby. He was giving her hugs. When I see him I want a hug too."


Our weekend was bittersweet. It was great to see old friends but it was a sad reason to get together. At Eliana's funeral we didn't see Jesus or get to give him hugs. But I could feel his presence there and I knew he was hugging everyone of us, especially Eli and Liz. I'm grateful for eternal families and the gospel.

Kid Quotes

Yesterday Allie had an accident and I asked her...
"Did you poop in you underwear?"
"Ahhhh.... yeah I did"
I didn't really feel like cleaning up poop so I said, "Will you go clean it up?"
"I can't do it, I'm not a Mama!"

While I was changing her...
"You really need to go in the toilet."
"But I don't want too Mommy!"
"Well if you don't like me changing you, you need to go in the potty."
"I won't do it any more."
"Ok good deal. So you'll go poop in the toilet?"
"No, I just won't poop anymore!"

This morning when she woke up...
"Good morning baby. Did you have good dreams?"
"Yes, I had princess dreams."
"What princess were you in your dream?"
"I was Jazmin. Aladdin was getting his magic carpet and was gonna take me to see the world."

At breakfast...
"Mom you can be Cinderella and you can marry daddy, the prince, and kiss him."
"Yeah"
"But you need little mouses. Who are gonna be your little mouses?"
"How 'bout you and Bud and Markie?"
"No.. Bud is Aladdin and Markie is Rajah.. I guess you can't have mouses."

Another breakfast conversation...
Allie, "Hey Bambi is on my shirt!"
Estefan, "That wimpy deer?!"
Allie, "What did you just say to me?"
Estefan, "You play ball like a girl!!"

What?

My kids say some pretty funny things...

Estefan says...

"Do you know why all the girls chase me at recess?"

"Why?"

"Because you comb my hair so fancy and make me so hansome!"

He's our little Lady's Man!

Allie-isms...

"Mom, Mom! There's a hair in my mouse! Get it out!"
When I had gotten the hair out of her mouth she said...
"Hair doesn't taste like noodles!"

Kids Say The Darndest Things...

Oh! This kid is too funny! Just when I think I've got him figured out, he throws me a curve ball!

He and Allie where playing in his room and then he comes walking into the kitchen where I was cooking dinner and looks up at me and says,

Estefan - "Sometime's Allie really gets on my nerds"

Me - "What? You mean nerves?"

E - "No, my nerds"

Me - "You mean ner-VES"

E - "No, she gets on my n-ERDS!"

Me - "Um... ok, sometimes she gets on my nerds too, hehehe!"
