{picture has no relation to story..it's just funny...}
B was out playing catch by the fence and the neighboors dogs came running and barking towards him....he freaked out and came running towards me...

i was wiping the tears from my cheeks from laughing so hard... I know..evil. It's the kind of mom I am...

to top it all off...Brad puts his hand on my shoulder and says "those dogs scared me out of the crap!!"

poor boy.

lol.

tough girl..

Av was riding her bike yesterday and yelled out to me after she rode over the garden hose....

"Mom!! I'm braver than balls!"

i think she got a few conversations that she heard between her dad and brother mixed up a bit....


brave girl.

funny man.

we were on our way to Kendyl and Brad's first baseball game last night and Kendyl couldn't find her mit... she was pretty sad...

B: "Kendyl, you can have my mit. I am so scared I'm gunna pee my pants anyway.."

---------------------------------------------------

I was sitting with B on the couch this weekend listening to music.. this was our conversation...

Mom: "Brad, let's dance. I will teach you so that you can dance with your wife someday.."

B: "uh. I will not have a wife mom. I don't have time for one."

Mom: "why not B?"

B: "Because I will be too busy being a Jedi and a bullrider and a cowboy and a ninja and a football player."

Mom: "what?! you have to get married so that I can be a Grandma! "

B: "sorry mom. plus... there are no cute girls here."

some recent pics..

..it's what's for dinner.

Av: "Mom, will you get me a zwink (drink)?"

Mom: *walking over to the sink*

Av: "No mom. I don't want any water today. It tastes like beef."

...poor dad.

we took the kids for a walk the other day and Avery was riding her little tricycle. Can we say S.L.O.W. it was so hard to be patient when K and B were about 3 miles ahead of us... I was pushing the huge double stroller with only Ry in it because Had decided to freak out... so Dad was cuddling with her... he was bending down trying to hold Had and push the bike at the same time....

Dad: "whoa. my back is burning. "

Mom: *laughing at Dad's pain* "Yeah, I wonder why..."

Avery: "Dad. It's because of all the problems that you have."



insightful Av. thanks.

my little dumplings..

the other night the whole fam was sitting in the living room coloring pictures... Brad was VERY proud of his and ran up to Dad... had it hidden behind his back and said "prepare to be amazed Dad.."

--------------------------

We did a ton of yardwork yesterday and had to take a load of rubbish to the dump.... we loaded the crew in the truck and took off.. on our way home Av was cracking us up...

Av: "when are we going to be at the dumpling?"

M: "uh... we just left the DUMP sweetie..."

Av: "no. when are we going to the dumpling?"

M: "Av, you eat dumplings and you take trash to the dump.."

Av: "Gross. I don't want to eat those dumplings."

hmm.

Av: "Mom.If I keep biting my nails my skeleton will start to show."

Mom: "hmm. ok..true Avery. Are you going to stop biting your nails?"

Av: "No. {long pause..} ok, yeah I am going to stop. That would be gross to show people my skeleton."

this is an awesome way to start off a Monday...

sweet nectar?

i peeled about a dozen oranges for the kids this morning (does anyone else go through oranges by the bushel..?) Brad was eating his and quickly looked over at me~~ puckered up~~ and said:

"MOM! this orange is sick. It tastes like poison. Are you poisoning us?"
