We find children under ours.
Blake:
Has his first crush. Snow White is the lucky lady. As far as I know he has never seen the movie, but I first noticed his interest in her when we were at the Library.
Blake: "Mom! Look (pointing to a book)! It's Snow White.
Me: "Oh, hey look at that." Not wanting to make too big a deal out of the fact that my son is excited about a princess book.)
Blake : "Ya, it's Snow White. (Big Grin on his face) This is the one when I marry her."
We checked out the book.
Then we were at the children's hospital* in the waiting area, when Blake spotted Snow White on a Christmas wreath.
Blake: "Hey it's Snow White."
Me: "Yep. Do you still want to marry her?"
Blake: Ya. I remembered when she used to be in a book."
Then again at the library he saw another princess book. We of course checked it out. I thought hey as long as he wants to marry a princess and not be one then why not. That night Matt was reading him the Snow White story. Blake points to the picture of the prince and whispers, "That's me, and that's my sword."
Another day I asked Blake who he was going to marry.
Blake:" Snow White. (of course)
Me: "Are you going to get married in the temple?"
Blake" Ya. Well, actually we are getting married in the church."
I then tried to explain to a three year old why it is important for us to get married in the Temple (If you want to know too, click
here.)
Blake: "But, Snow White really likes the church." Sounds like me and Snow White need to have a talk.
Other funny things Blake has said:
Blake brushed against my legs that had not be shaved in a couple of days.
Blake: "Ouch Mom. Your legs are sparkley."
We were playing "Hiding from the monster" under my bed covers. Tyler, not really into the game kept, jumping on me. Trying to distract him I told him to go upstairs and make sure the monster wasn't getting Daddy or Lacey. Blake very seriously said, "No, I'll go. (sigh) The truth is, I'm the oldest." and with the weight and responsibility he has as the oldest he nobly went up stairs to check on his loved ones.
At dinner we had some strawberries, when I noticed that several of the strawberries in the bowl had bites taken out of them. I knew Tyler had done it, but I still asked the boys if they knew who had done it.
Blake: "Mom, that's just what my Grandma does." (FYI for those of you who don't know Blake's grandma, she would never do this. Not to mention she lives 15 hours away.)
Blake: "Mom, why doesn't Lacey have a neck?" She does. It's just hidden by a couple of chins.
Blake was watching Matt and my wedding video. The was a picture of Matt and one of his best friends Blake.
Me: "Look there is Daddy and that is his friend Blake."
Blake: " Ya, that's when I growed up."
Tyler:
Also says a lot of funny things.
Tyler: "Mom, can you play poker with me?" What?!
Tyler (in a very raspy old Man voice) "What's you name son?" (You don't have to be a guy to have him ask you this question)
My aunt and uncle babysat the boys one night so Matt and I could go out. I have been putting the Gospel Art Pictures on the boys wall. That morning we went over the story of Abraham and Isaac. That night while playing in his room with my aunt he said, "The Lord needed a (and then pointing to the picture and using a very intense, deep raspy voice) SACRIFICE" Way to make the story sound creepy.
Tyler is really into saying "potty words". It drives me nuts. So one day I finally put soap on his tongue. After crying for a little bit he said, "Mom, I have soap on my tongue. Can you kiss it?" No. I will kiss a lot of your owies but not the ones on your tongue.
Lacey:
Oh! I think she is so cute. She doesn't say much, but she can always make us smile.
*Blake has had two more seizures. We were at the hospital waiting for him to get an MRI. It came back normal which is good, but we still don't have answers yet of why he is having seizures. Next we go to the neurologist.
