We Love You Amber

Last week Jim's sister Amber came to stay with us and it was so much fun to have her here. It is not often that we get to have family come and visit us so when they do it is really a big deal for my kids. They love it! It's a big deal for Jim and me too. It was great to have an adult to talk to during the day. The boys had the best week with their aunt and I just wanted to say thank you to Amber for humoring my kids. I seriously think that she read every book that we have to them at least 3 times, funny voices and all. Not only that, but she sang to them, played with them, had sleepovers downstairs, did craft projects, took funny pics on her computer, made them aprons for cooking and painting projects, went to the zoo, went to the science center, went to the park, laughed with them non stop, and the list just goes on and on. She also put up with my messy house, which I'm sure was the hardest part. Amber, you are the best aunt ever and we love you and can't wait to see you soon in Utah!!

Cameron, Shannon Voge: Aren't aunts the best!?!? Hallie loves them too! Cute pics of the boys holding up their signs. How did you get them in that color? Is it a setting on your camera? Good luck with the move... you'll be missed!; August 10, 2008 at 1:48 PM

Funny Things Kids Say

We were at church and during the sacrament I was talking to Luke about Jesus. I told him that Jesus bled and died for us. Luke looked at me with a very concerned look and said, "Did Heavenly Father give Jesus a band-aid when he was bleeding?"

We were about to walk out the door so I told Luke to go potty. He came out of the bathroom saying, "I can't go! The batteries in my pee pee are dead!"

After Ben finished a big meal he said, "my tummy is so big and full I look like Grandpa now!" (sorry dad).

Ben pointed to a picture of the prophet and said, "That's President Monckley!"

We have a saying in our house. It's "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit!" But Ben has his own version of this. He says "you get what you WANT and you don't throw a fit!"

Jimmy said that he is allergic to babies. I asked him how he knew and he said that he gets sick when he smells them.

Ben asked me for another piece of halloween candy and I said, "Mommy is ready for the halloween candy to be gone" and Ben said, "Yea, gone in my mouth!"

We were driving past the gas station sign and Ben said, "I see a lowercase 5 on that sign."

I was talking to Jimmy about election day and asking him if his teacher voted and he said that she was "absent" that day. (I finally realized what he meant. She had just mailed in an absentee ballot.)

Ben put a whole bunch of toilet paper in the garbage and I told him that is a no, no. He said, "no it's a yes, yes!"

I tell Jimmy on a regular basis that needs to talk nicely. He yelled something across the room to me and I gave him the look that said I didn't like the tone of his voice and he said, "I was yelling nicely!"

Jimmy and I are listening to "Give Said the Little Stream" and Jimmy says "How does it talk?" I said "How does what talk?" He said, "The stream, it doesn't have a mouth, how can it talk?"
