Funny Kids

We have had some funny thoughts and sayings lately from the boys. Yesterday Gray made up his own word, "whobody". We were eating fondue for dinner, and he kept asking things like, "whobody wants another apple?" or "whobody likes to eat fondue?". I may just have to start using this word myself.

Griffin also came up with a very profound statement. He has been going to this summer Sunday School class called Power Express. This month they are focusing on Moses. So last week they ate red jello and talked about Moses parting the red sea. This morning Griffin found a pack of fruit snacks on the pantry floor. He said, "what luck, I found some fruit snacks in the pantry. Just like the princess found baby Moses". Yeah, that was what I was thinking.

Some pics from Disney

Here are some pics from Disney- I know some of you aren't on Facebook. Anyway these start at our breakfast with Mickey and include Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and pool days. I will try to load some more later- these take forever:)

This week

This week we have been getting ready for our first family camping trip. We practiced putting the tent together in our side yard. Not too bad for the first try. The boys have been so super sweet with Ashby lately. They adore their little sister. Griffin has decided he wants to start trying to give her a bottle before bedtime.

Gray likes to help her take her bath in the sink.

Griffin insisted on helping her accesorize with some sunglasses.

And just this week, Ashby has decided to pull up to stand on some toys. I just looked over one day and there she was just standing. Such a big girl!

Cheesy

Griffin has been coming home with some interesting comments lately. Today he was saying that the word, "cheesy", was a bad word. When he described it, he said, "it's like if you are looking funny, like you are wearing overalls and underpants with no pants and a tie on". Where do they get these things?

He also said the word, "yes" is disrespectful. But not all the time. Only if you are winning a race and you yell out, "yes!", to the other people.

Daddy's Shoes

So Brent has been having a hard time finding some new dress shoes for work. Last week he bought some bit loafers online and has been trying to decide whether or not to keep them. In the past he has been bad about wearing something once, deciding he doesn't like it, and then never wearing it again. Since this was a bigger purchase, he has been torn. This morning he came downstairs all dressed for work and said, "I think I am going to keep them. You know- branch out a little". Griffin took one look at him and said, "Dad, I think those shoes are a little girlish". Back in the box the shoes went, and I am pretty sure they are back to the store:)

Strawberry picking

This afternoon we went strawberry picking as a family. It was such a beautiful day. The berry fields were pretty picked over, but we had fun anyway. Coincidentally there was a big Spider Man emblem on the side of an overhang, so the boys did their best web spinning manuevers.

Ashby loved the berries.

A big mouthful!

Griffin was very particular about picking the berries- no green parts whatsoever. Gray was our power picker and less selective about his berries. He still did a great job.
