5-2010 At the Father and son's campout, Dale took the kids on a hike and was pointing out a spiky plant that had spikes on its leaves. He asked them why they thought the cactus had thorns? The boys said to protect themselves from being eaten. Dad said, "yes, what animal would eat that?? The boys said, "bears" and Dale said, "no, bears usually eat meat," then nathan said, "panda bears?" Dale replied, "no a panda bear is still a bear." Then dad said, "starts with a d" and nathan said "giraffe", Dale said, "no its a d like duh, duh, duh" and so nathan said, "dinosaur." Dale then said, "No how about deer."
5-2010 We are planning a trip across the US and Megan asked if we could go to China. Dad said, "no it's not in the US" and he later heard her talking to the boys about how they should go to China because that is where the toys are made and they could get a lot of free toys!
2/16/2010 Tomorrow is a half day and on half days, they usually can dress up. Tomorrow will be hippy day. Nathan said, "Tomorrow is crazy groundhogs day." Sara said, "Don't you mean crazy hippy day?"
12/06/09 The kids were dressing up like Santa, Rudolph and Jack Frost. Nathan came down to tell us and he said, "Zach is Jack in the frost" instead of Jack Frost. I think that's a mix of Jack in the box and Jack Frost.
12/06/09 I was yelling through the house asking if anyone had seen "my breast pump sucker thingy" and then I heard Zach say, "Here is your pump sucker thingy." He was holding Kaleigh and brought her to me. Not exactly what I meant, but we had a good laugh.
12/05/09 Dale was looking for the remote and Megan is usually the culprit who hides the remote so only she can have power. Dale frustratedly asked Megan, "Do you know where the remote is?" Megan says, "um no, did you check in all the crotches (as she points to the couch)? I guess she meant crevices or cracks? Dale says she is like me. We mix up our phrases all the time. He says the funniest one I said was......Sara: whatever tickles your fanny. I meant whatever tickles your fancy.
7/29/09 We were walking past the shoes in Walmart and Megan said she wished she had flippers. I said flippers are what you wear in the ocean. She meant slippers.
6/23/09 Megan kept calling the hammock a hammrock.
6/21/09 Nathan asked if he could have cake and I said after dinner. He then said in an extremely serious voice, "we had dinner yestersday."
6/9/09 I put Kaleigh next to Nathan and he said, "greetings my baby." It made me laugh and think of a space alien.
6/2/09 We were playing sequence which is a card/board game and Kaleigh was sitting next to us and she started shaking her head no. Then the kids thought it would be fun to ask her questions. If she shook her head no, that meant no and if she smiled that meant yes. We asked her if Cameron had any hearts (she was sitting slightly behind him) and she shook her head no and then I asked if he had any diamonds and she smiled. Cameron then said, "How did she know?" We all laughed and now the kids think she is a genious baby.
5/6/09 Nathan had homework for pre-school and it was to draw what he would be doing for the summer. I asked him what he was going to do and he said, "play on the computer, jump on the trampoline, ride my bike to the park and go swimming." We started looking for stickers and getting out crayons and then he said, "and go to disneyland." I started laughing and said nice try Nathan, we aren't going to Disneyland.
4/5/09 As we were watching conference, Megan kept asking us to pause it so she could ask questions (tivo is great). She asked, "what does adversity mean? and then said, "wait nevermind I know what it is, it is when 2 people get married" (anniversary). We just had to laugh.
3/31/09 Nathan saw the rugstick on a commercial. "I want that. See it makes her house clean."
3/26/09 Nathan: Woah (looking at a van next to us at Costco as the doors automatically opened by themselves). Can we get one of those? Mom: Maybe some day but it costs more money. Nathan: How much does it costs? Mom: I'm not sure. Nathan: I will give you my $12 and then we can get some. Mom: Thanks for wanting to share your money but I think it will cost more than $1000.
2/27/09 Mom: Did you get my note on your door? Nathan: Was I supposed to take it off? Mom: No just read it. Nathan: I can't read. Mom: It just says I love you Nathan, Love mom. Nathan why is there 2? One has your name and one has Zach's. Nathan: Does Megan have one? Mom: Yes I made one for everyone. I just love the part when he said I can't read. For some reason I thought he would figure out love and his name and that would be enough.
2/17/09 Zach just cracks me up. He has a voice recorder that you can speed up your voice after record it and it makes the pitch a little higher. He was walking around the house mouthing this high pitched, fast paced voice over and over again--he just looked funny.
2/18/09 Nathan asked Cameron if he was white when he was a baby.
2/18/09 We took Nathan to the dentist to get a cavity filled and they put on a piggy nose with laughing gas in it and afterwards they said he admitted that his girlfriend gave him a valentine. I asked him afterwards and he said no in a disgusted voice. Ew girlfriends.
11/7/08 Megan: what would happen if people don't make good choices? What would heavenly father do? Mom: If they never repented, they wouldn't get to live with Heavenly Father. Megan: Heavenly Father would give them 10,000 spankings and that would take all day!
10-23-08 Mom: What do you think our baby is going to look like when it comes out? Nathan: a dress. Mom: You think the baby will come out wearing a dress? Nathan: yes. Mom: Did you know that babies are born naked and then you have to put clothes on them? You came out naked, Megan came out naked, Zach came out naked. Nathan: and Cameron came out of Papa John. Mom: no, babies only come out of girls. He came out of his mom, a different mom.
10-12-08 Zach went up to share his testimony and said, "I want to share my testimony, I want to be baptized even though I am only 6. My birthday is in December." and then he was done and left.
Megan went up to share her testimony and the last thing she said is "If our family starts to be mean we should stop instead of fighting." She is obsessed with arguing and fighting. Dale and I get interrupted by her and told to go to separate rooms and not talk to each other if our tone of voice is not perfectly pleasant. It's quite annoying but it works on getting us to calm down if we are getting a little heated. She even wrote in her baptism book about fighting. What do you remember about your bishop's interview? Her response was, "the Bishop asked me if my parents fight." I showed the bishop what she wrote and he said he doesn't think he asked that, but probably asked do you fight with your parents? What can ya do?
8-25-2008 All the kids want a girl baby. I thought the boys would want boys and I knew Megan wanted a girl. Hope they aren't disappointed!
8-20-08 I told Nathan that I had a secret to tell him and not to tell anyone. I then told him how there was a tiny baby in my tummy and that it was going to keep growing bigger and bigger until it was ready to come out. He asked, "if the baby was going to get as big as the baby that we watched a couple of days ago." I said yes and he said, "good, I love that baby."
7-24-2008 I took Zach to Costco with me and we bought cream puffs along with other stuff. I was telling him we need hurry hurry hurry or else they were going to melt in the car and he said, "we have to hurry and eat them?" I said, "No we have to hurry and put them in the freezer."
7-20-2008--My daughter at church was sitting next to me when she leans over, looks at my stomach and says.....I think you really are going to have a baby. I had to laugh and tell Dale what she said. I just leaned back over and said nope its just food. Then she pinched my stomach and said I think I feel a leg.
6-29-08 At Grandma's house, Megan was trying a different kind of cheese (I forget what kind of cheese it was) and was a little nervous so she said to Grandma, "let Zach try, he is my taster." That way if he keels over and dies then she will know not to try it I guess. He liked it but when she tried it, she didn't like it and had to spit it out in the garbage.
I bought a new scented deodorant a few days ago and wore it for the first time today. At church, Megan could not stop sniffing my armpit and saying, "MMM this smells so good". I had to pry her nostrils from my armpit! I kept cracking up as I imagined what the people behind us were thinking.
6-28-08 Megan was talking to Dale about how she wanted to own every animal possible and Zach chimed in to say even sharks that will bite you? Megan--yes. Zach--even dinosaurs? No because they won't fit in our house. Dale--also you won't be able to find them. Megan--Dad even if you showed a dinosaur your muscles and tried to fight them, you would still die.
6-26-08 We drove by a park and I pointed out that it had a lake today and Zach asked if there were fish in the lake. I said, maybe...do you want to go fishing and catch a fish? He said, yes I want to catch all of them so I can go swimming in the lake with no fish.
6-25-08 Nathan was hungry right before bed so I said in the morning you can get cereal. Nathan--I want something healthy. Sara--What do you want that is healthy? Nathan--Lucky Charms, fruit snacks or hot cheetos. Sara--those aren't healthy. Nathan--but I like them.
6-23-08 Megan wasn't feeling well. She thought she was going to throw up. Megan asked, "why would Heavenly Father make throw up on this earth?" Sara--so that you know the opposite of feeling sick, which is feeling healthy and that feeling well and healthy is a much better feeling. Megan--what if I already know that throwing up isn't better. Sara--sometimes we just need reminders. So we can thank Heavenly Father when we are healthy and pray for help when we are not.
6-2008 Nathan and I were in the elevator at the mall and the first time down I laughed and said that tickled my tummy and then later that day when we went down the elevator again, he said loudly (at least it seemed loud to me) “that tickles my penis.”
6-2008 Nathan can’t say the “s” sound. It was cute to here him play Superman. I just heard… I’m uperman
August 16th--Zach was constipated and said, "why does it have to hurt so bad....it feels like someone threw a toy at me." --sad but made me chuckle.
August 10th--I asked Zach if he went to the computer lab and he said, "no, we wasted our time...we had music."
August 2007 Zach is a great dancer. We put on the Moulin Rouge soundtrack and the kids dance to lady marmalade and some other songs. He looks like a regular hip hop dancer--even can do some break dancing. I will have to put him in a hip hop class to fine tune his natural talent. He also can do the robot very well! His summer school put on a show for the parents and his class did different kind of dancing like Saturday night fever, the robot, and some others. When I saw him do the robot (he does it so well!), I had to incorporate the robot dance into our family skit we did at the reunion--at the end of our skit we all did the robot. I love how Nathan does the robot too! It is like he is doing a karate chop back massage.
July 23rd 2007--Nathan earned a prize and he picked a small package of robin eggs. He was telling me that it was an egg and that chickens come out of eggs. He then took a bite of his candy and just by tasting it, said, "There isn't a chicken in this egg."
Ok this isn't really funny, but Megan came screaming from outside because her chicken had died--lack of water we think. She asked why the body isn't moving and I said the chicken spirit went to heaven and now the body can't move because it doesn't have a spirit. Then she asked if we could go find another spirit to put in her chicken. I had to explain to her that the spirit wouldn't come back to this chicken but we would have to buy a whole new chicken body and spirit.
I was telling Dale's mom about how I bought a mu mu for my Hawaii trip coming up and how when I was wearing it, I felt really lazy and kept eating and eating and eating and then I told her how I told Dale that I was trying to fill up my mu mu. Well, at dinner last night. Zach was sitting next to Cameron and he told him that he was going to fill up his mu mu. I started laughing because this mu mu conversation happened over a week ago--and Zach remembered! I wasn't even talking to him--he just happened to be in the room while we were telling the story. Kids really do listen to you!
July 16th 2007--I took Nathan to the dentist and they gave him some medicine to drink that makes you a little loopy. It was really funny to watch. In about 5 minutes he was looking really closely at his toy watch and then putting it on his nose, he started grabbing at the floor trim like you do when you are watching a 3d movie, he started smiling alot and I said are you happy and he nodded and started laughing. Afterwards he couldn't stand on his own or even sit up--he was very wobbly.
We were going to a Chandler splash park and I was telling the kids to start putting their sunscreen on in the car and Zach said yeah because if you get a sunburn, your skin peels off and if you keep getting sunburns then you will see your bones. I called my kids from Hawaii and told Zach that I made him a hawaiian necklace. It was quiet so I said the people in Hawaii like to make and wear necklaces out of flowers and nuts. I then said that I can teach them to do the hula dance when I get back too. Zach said, "Do you want me to be a hawaiian?" He makes me laugh.
Nathan is a little man of little words. Usually you have to ask him yes or no questions--he's not much of a talker, but when I called him from Hawaii he said a full sentence---"Give me candy mom, okay bye." Megan's long conversation to me was, "I miss you mom, ok I think I am done talking now." Zach asked me if we brought him a volcano rock as big as my head. We said no. As if we want to take that in our luggage! Dale and I were thinking that if we couldn't find any more volcano rocks in Hawaii, that we would just go back to Arizona and get some out of someones front yard--the kids would never know. Hee hee hee. We showed him the volcano rock we got for him which was about 1" through the web cam and we heard, "whoa that is huge!" It must have filled up his whole screen so we had to explain that it just looks big.
2-27-2007 Nathan wanted something across the table and Sara couldn’t reach it and said, “I can’t reach it.” Then, Nathan said, “daddy get it he has big hands.”
Megan went up to share her testimony and the last thing she said is "If our family starts to be mean we should stop instead of fighting." She is obsessed with arguing and fighting. Dale and I get interrupted by her and told to go to separate rooms and not talk to each other if our tone of voice is not perfectly pleasant.
