Colt has been doing some pretty cute things lately. One of my favorite is when he sees the other kids getting ready for swimming he will yank down his pants and yell ta da. He is so proud of himself. Of course the sad thing is usually the kids are going to swimming lessons and he can't go. Of course this always makes him so sad. He will drop his shoulders and his lower lip will stick out. This kids is so dramatic.
The other day we were at Cherry Hill and we were getting ready to head home. All the kids were getting a snack and drying off before we headed to the car. I glanced over to Colt and noticed he was falling while he was sitting. Poor kid can't miss his nap. I am sure we will have a lot more incidents like this over the next couple of months.

This is a typical conversation I have with Eliza several times a day.
Eliza: Mom?
Mom: What?
Eliza: Mom?
Mom: What?
Eliza: Mom?
Mom: WHAT!?!?!
Eliza: Mom?
Mom: Eliza when I say what that means I am listening and you can tell me what you want to say okay?
Eliza: Oh Sorry.
Eliza: Mom?
Mom: Sigh. What?

School Mornings
March 13, 2012
For the past four years Eliza has ridden the bus. It comes right to our house and picks her up. The only problem is that the bus comes at 7:40am in the morning. After the first year of having to wake her up at 6:45am so that she could make the bus we made the decesion that I would drive her to school and then the bus would drive her home. Since she was four I have been driving her to school. That is until last week when she decided that she would like to ride the bus to and from school. We decided that she could, but she would have to get up and not be hard to get along with. These are some of my favorite comments that she made throughout the week.
Wednesday Morning: Mom when is it going to be Saturday so that I can sleep in.
Thursday Morning: With Greg she wouldn't open her eyes. Greg kept telling her he needed to see her eyes open so that he knew she was awake. Her response was Just a minute Dad I need to fix my eyes.
But my most favorite was when I told Colt that he needed to help me watch for the bus. He ran and got his binoculars and started watching it was really funny.
This is how we are most mornings waiting for the bus. The IPad really is popular. On the bad mornings everyone is fighting over it. On the good mornings everyone plays on it together.

A Little Peace and Quite
May 18, 2009
Recently one of my friends had a new baby. As we were driving in the car to visit the baby I told Forrest that he could tell his friend all the wonderful things about having a baby sister. He said there was only two good things about baby sisters.
#1 - When they share their food with you.
#2 - When they go to bed so that he can finally have some piece and quite to relax.
Obviously we need to work on sibling bonding.

Eliza is Talking
March 20, 2009
Eliza is coming a long way in her talking. She is trying to say a lot of words and most of the time we can even understand her. Her new thing is trying to say peoples names. My favorite is when she says hi to one of my friends. It is always Hi(pause) Hol-eee. It is really cute. Greg's favorite was when she was on the potty the other day and she said "Go away, poop" He wants to put it in her baby book as her first sentence. I think she would hate that so I figured I would just blog about. We are really exicted about all the progress she has made. There is even more good news. Her doctor feels she has come so far that we wont' have to do the MRI and EEG. This is a big load off of our shoulders. Of course now that she is starting to talk we can't get her to stop. This posses a problem in Sacrament, but it is worth it.

Did You Know Forrest Is Getting Married?
December 9, 2008
Neither did I, but apparently this past summer while we were at a neighbors house swimming Forrest and a little neighbor girl decided they would get married. At first we thought it was cute, but it now seems to be getting pretty serious. As the little neighbor girl was leaving our house the other day. She said, "I love you Forrest" Her dad rolled his eyes and asked me what we should do about it. I told him not to worry because Forrest had ignored her and really didn't seem that in to it. That is what I thought until Sunday night. As we were driving down to my sisters house we made a game of spotting all of the temples. I then took time to talk to Forrest about the importance of temples and why we go there. After a little while I asked Forrest which temple he would like to be married in. He said, "I don't know I will just let Allison decide which temple we will be getting married in." Obviously this is getting pretty serious. Don't be too surprised when you get your wedding announcement in the mail.

I am Too Fat
August 27, 2008
Everyday when Forrest comes home from school he has a chore to do. Yesterday his chore was to empty all the garbages. This is one of Forrest's least favorite chores. As I was cleaning out the dishwasher Forrest was trying to convince me to let him do my chore and I would do his. This is how he went about it.
Forrest: Mom can I clean out the dishwasher instead of emptying the garbage cans?
Me: No, the garbage cans are really full and need to emptied.
Forrest: But mom you are too fat to clean out the dishwasher. I am skinny so I can go faster.
Me: I am too fat?
Forrest: You are a little fat, but look how skinny I am.
Me: So I am a little fat.
Forrest: Yes (lifting up his shirt and pointing to his chest.) You are really fat up here and it is making you go to slow. I am really skinny so I can go faster.
Me: Thanks for pointing that out to me.

Shake Your Booty
July 20, 2008
One of our neighbor girls likes to say good bye by doing a little dance. She calls it shaking her booty. Today as we were leaving her house she told us she was going to shake her booty. As we were walking towards her Forrest leaned over to me and asked what a booty was. I told him it was another name for bum. Forrest then walked up to the neighbor girl, grabbed her bum and shook it. The neighbor girl turned too him and said, "Forrest I said I was going to shake my booty not you shake my booty. Jeez!!"

What's In A Name?
June 10, 2008
Forrest came home from Dino Day camp today with a small present. The instructors had wrapped a small surprise in gauze and then had the kids put plaster all over it. When they got home they were supposed to open it up to see what was inside. Once we got home Forrest ran up to my bathroom to open his special surprise. He had received a small pterodactyl. When he got it open he spent a couple of minutes playing with it and trying to decide what to name it. After several minutes of careful consideration Forrest came up with what he considered the perfect name for his little friend, Little Pecker. When he told me the name I tried to explain why that wouldn't be a good name without going into too much detail. After having deal with his last unpleasant topic of conversation I really didn't want to do it again. It of course didn't sink it at all. I think it is Greg's turn to experience the joys of trying to explain taboo topics with the kids.

WHAT!!!!
May 16, 2008
Forrest: Mommy how do the baby puppies get out of the mommy dog?
Me: WHAT!!! I mean what did you say?
Forrest: How do the baby puppies get out of the mommy dogs?
Me: (Thinking frantically) Do I tell him the truth? How much detail do I go into? Can I use the same answer that I did when he asked how Eliza got out of my tummy? No. No. Dogs really don't have C-sections. I can just see him telling everyone that you have to slice the dog open to get the puppies out. Maybe I can.....
Forrest: Mom.
Me: Oh sorry Yes well the puppies get out......
I won't bore you with the details. Actually I don't remember the details or I should say I am trying to block the memory of the whole thing. Whatever I said was good enough that he seemed satisfied with the answer and hopefully I won't hear from Forrest's teacher that Forrest is telling everyone that one minute the puppies are in the mommies tummy and the next they are not. It is like magic. Because that is what I really wanted to say.

Warning - Might Contain Too Much Information
May 1, 2008
Yesterday after Greg came home from work we were all sitting around talking about our day. Suddenly someone farted. Thinking that it was Forrest, I asked who it was so I could remind Forrest to say excuse me. Everyone immediately denied any knowledge of this heinous act, but Eliza. She pointed at Greg's bum and plugged her nose. Even though she can't talk she can still rat people out.

How to Wake up in the morning
April 13, 2008
Me: You seem tired this morning.
Forrest: I am, but stretching gets the tired out.
Me: That is good to know.
Forrest: But it only gets the sleepy tired out, not the tired from playing all day out.
Me: You seem tired this morning.
Forrest: I am, but stretching gets the tired out.

My Very Polite Boy
April 12, 2008
This morning we had another soccer game. Every time Forrest would kick and miss the ball, but would hit someone he would say sorry. After awhile it started to get really funny. Between the grunts and groans you would hear sorry numerous times. I don't know if I should tell him that when we play sports it isn't really necessary to say sorry every time you accidentally kick someone or just let him keep saying it. It is nice to know that all my reminding him to say sorry is finally sinking in.

Anyone there?
January 6, 2007
Last night after a delicious meal of Chinese food we all sat around reading our fortune cookies. Forrest's cookie said that good luck would come knocking. I playfully knocked on his head. Forrest responded by saying that there was nobody home today. I got a good laugh out of that because sometime I really wonder if there is anyone home up there.

Good Boy
December 14, 2007
Today I went visiting teaching with the kids. Forrest was acting a little rowdy so I had him sit on the couch next to me and told him when he was a good boy he could get down and play. After a couple of minutes he leaned over and asked me,"Mom, when am I going to be a good boy? I really want to go play now." Poor kid I am giving him a complex. Good thing I am not running for Mother of the Year Award.

Our Weekend with the cousins.
November 19, 2007
As many of you all know I babysat my sister's kids while she was in the hospital this weekend. Here are some of my favorite moments from the weekend.
Me: Why are the front of your pants wet?
Nephew: (Gives me a blank stare.)
Me: Did you have an accident?
Nephew: (Seems to be considering all of his options) I am not going to answer that question.
Nephew: There is a hole in my turkey's head.
Me: How did that happen?
Nephew: That is where the arrow went threw to kill the turkey.
Of course my funnest times where watching Eliza and her cousin interact. They had a great time together. They would often imitate each other. It was all very cute. My favorite time of the day was when they would go down for a nap or bedtime.
They would both crawl into Forrest bed with their binikis and blankets. I would read them several stories and then they would go to sleep (in their own beds.) They were so cute together. They never minded doing anything as long as they were together. Encase you are wondering my nephew is laughing. I never could get a good picture that he didn't have his eyes all squished up.

I am Finally Done
November 11, 2007
At the start of the summer I made a list of all the places I wanted to take the kids. We were finally able to go to the last one. I even convinced my 9-month+++ sister to come with me. We ended up all driving down in my car. My two nephews wanted to drive with us so we just all piled in.
Once we got to the zoo we immediately rode on the train. As we were coming to a stop I noticed my nephew walking beside the train. I yelled at him so he immediately jumped back into the train and then waited until it came to a complete stop to get out. We then headed over to see the white alligator. I was really happy it was still here.
After that we wandered through the parking looking at the different animals. It was a lot of fun. Most of the animals were up and moving around and some were being fed.
Once my sister and I were too tired to go on we stopped at the playground to let the kids play. Eliza found a goose that she was letting bite her fingers. I finally gave her some pretzels to feed to the goose so she would quit putting her fingers in the gooses' mouth.
We finally rounded up all the kids and headed home. We of course hit rush hour traffic. Forrest was very alarmed and kept saying we would never get home and that we would die out here before we would ever move again. Lucky for him we were able to get home. It was a fun day, but it totally wore me out. I am surprised it didn't put my sister into labor. I guess she will just have to keep waiting.

How To Earn Money
November 3, 2007
I had my nephews over last night for a sleepover. Before I put them to bed they started to ask me about what t.v. channels we had to watch for Saturday morning cartoons. I had to inform them the sad fact we didn't have some of their favorite channels. They were highly appalled. Preston suggested that I could buy all the Sponge Bob Square pants past Seasons plus the movie and then maybe I would have something interesting to watch at my house. Addison suggested that I could earn the money to buy these DVD's by cutting my fingernails and putting them under my pillow. The tooth fairy would think they were teeth and leave me money. I would be able to earn a lot money very quickly. I really need to try this the next time the mortgage is due.

Do the Pickles live by us??
October 9, 2007
Yesterday on our way home from our Fire Station Open house we say one of our neighbors driving by us.
Forrest: Mom is that the Pickles..
Me: No Forrest that is the Bickles.
Forrest: That is what I said.
Me: Forrest try this. Buh Buh Buh Buh Bickles.
Forrest: Buh Buh Buh Buh Pickles.
Me: No, No, Buh Buh Buh Buh Bickles.
Forrest: Buh Buh Buh Buh Pickles.
We went on like this for several more times before he finally said it right. He used to do this with his speech therapist too. His speech therapist was named Hugh and Forrest always called him Cue. I was always trying to get him to say it the right way, but he never wavered.
