They thought what?!

Timothy and Kassie decided on ABC Spaghetti-O's for lunch today. While they were having fun picking out the letters as they ate, Timothy kept insisting that I give some to Thomas. I finally decided to give him a couple of little bites to see what he thought. Timothy turns to Kassie excitedly and says "Look Kassie! He's eating the Alphabet! I hope he talks!". Kassie's eyes light up and she says "Oooh, I can't wait to hear him talk!". I'm sitting there feeding Thomas and trying to figure out WHAT they are talking about and suddenly it dawns on me....


Poor kids were so disappointed.......

Out of the Mouths of Babes: Timothy

Tonight at bedtime:

"Mommies get butterfly kisses and Daddies get raspberries."

I like the way this kid thinks!

He has us all figured out

Ben was teasing Timothy about something in the car and this is the conversation that followed.

T: You're just teasing Dad!
B: Tease?! I NEVER tease, I'm the most serious person you know!
T: Uh, uh...that's mom.

BUT, later that day:

T: No, Dad, if you want the truth you have to ask Mom.

I'll take being the most serious person he knows if it means I have a monopoly on the truth!

Preschool Graduation

Timothy was in fabulous preschool this year and learned so much! I have more to post about what he did throughout the year, but here are the pictures from his graduation in May.Getting ready and waiting for everyone to arrive. From left to right: Harrison, Havanah, Axel, Carter (with Miss Hanah), Londyn, Sawyer, and Timothy

Singing his favorite preschool song: "Funny Colored Monsters"

Doesn't he look grown up?! I just know he'll be in his next cap and gown in the blink of an eye!~

Coconut!

Earlier this summer Timothy was asking me what a real coconut looked like. I told him I'd have to show him one from the store. Later that week, we got a coconut in our Bountiful Baskets order. Boy did we have fun!Dad got the drill out so we could try the milk.

They both tried it, but weren't crazy about it. We found out later that you have to have a really young coconut for the milk to be sweet.

Smashing it out on the driveway was by far the best part!

They both really liked it...especially when we dipped it in sugar or chocolate sauce!

New and Improved!

Ta da!! Our new and improved blog is up! I certainly hope I do a better job of keeping this updated than I have for the past year. My plan is to start from right now and, over time, throw in a few "flashback" posts to catch everyone up and document what has happened for our family.

For starters...here are a few pictures from our recent trip to Montana and Idaho!Kassie's first fish! She was really excited while reeling it in..not so much when it was up close!Timothy's first fish! He loved the whole experience of fishing...this kid was born to be near the water. Notice that Dad helped them both land their first fish!Thomas with his namesake at the condo in Island Park.

More coming soon....it's been a busy summer!

Don't give up on us!

I know, this blog is so hopelessly out of date the only thing to do is start over. So keep watching, new things are on the way! Like....actual pictures of our almost 6 month old "new"baby! We're going to MT next week, but after that take a look to see our new and improved blog page. Promise!
