"Two cookies are never enough, we should always need 3"
~Jersi (january 2014)

Jersi just sat on my lap, held my hand, and said :"Mom are you gonna blow a gasket?" When I said told her no, I wasn't going to, she said, "okay then can we share one of your cookies?" (january 2014)

The other night I was getting fed up with 3 year old Jersi refusing to go to bed. She just kept coming to my room no matter how many times I sent her back to bed. In the end I finally said "Jerz, if you don't go to bed you won't be able to play my Kindle tomorrow" this was responded to with and exasperated, "ugh! Fine you bossy-pants!" and she stormed off to her room.
I swear this girl thinks she is Queen of Everything!! (January 2014)

Jersi just said "mom do you know how much Morrissa loves her self? A lot. Isn't that so great?" (December 2013)

It's 2:55 AM, Jersi just came in my room and the following conversation happened:
Jersi: mom my nose hurts, do we have any nose medicine?
Me: I don't think so, want me to check?
Jersi: well I'm watching Wreck It Ralph to bed. So Goodnight! (December 2013)

"Mom! Someone on yours TV knows my name! That football guy just said my name!"
~Jersi (December 2013)

Earlier today:
Jersi: "Mommy I know where you're from!"
Me: where?
Jersi: Um... You're from New mommy cuz I'm from New Jersi" (dec)

"Mom, my nose is snuffy"
~Dayton (December 2013)

"Mom, do know how much I love you? A million."
~Jersi (December 2013)

Jersi just told me: "Mom, I'm beautiful in real life, but if this was fake life I wouldn't be this beautiful anymore" (December 2013)


Two quotes from Jersi. ..
"ugh, mom! Why did you get us in traffic? !"
And (leaving the ice cream shop) "they sure do have spoons there" (october 2013)

"Mom, I turned the singer on!" (Radio)

   ~Dayton

Oaklee: Mom! Why do we have all these co-co-nuts in the house? (they were peanuts)

Later she said, "I love peanuts! They taste just like butter!"

Oaklee was using the potty in my room the other day and through the closed door I heard her ask herself, "Why do I fart so much??"

Bedtime is by far the biggest stressor of my day everyday. 
On one particular night, I finally had all the kids tucked in and was working on homework in my room, I heard some talking and some giggles coming from the Little's room. Pretty soon Dayton approached my bedroom door and in a giggly voice said: Mom I hafta go potty
Me: No you don't
He ran back to his room and announced "Dang it didn't wurk"

Me: Why am I so lucky to be your mom?
Oaklee: I just wish Sharli was my mom

We were out running errands and Dayton said: "Where we going nets (next)?"
Me: We're going home now.
Dayton: Well dat juss suts (sucks) doesn't it?"

Me: You're my favorite Oaklee I ever knew! - Am I your favorite Stefanie?
Oaklee: No, Sharli is ... but I like you second!

This little pinky went to market
This little pinky stayed home
And this little pinky farted.

~Oaklee to Jersi (using Jersi's fingers)

"To Infinity and be gone!"
~Kyndi

"One day...in my life...there was a...cow..in my face"

~Oaklee (she tells all kinds of stories these days)

Kyndi:Mom do you think when Jersi grows up she'll have a bony butt like me?

Kyndi: Mom how can dr's tell if someone is born a boy or a girl?
Me: Well, think about that, what does Dayton have that you don't have?
Kyndi: A nose that's farther up his face than mine??

Last night Jersi was sleeping on my lap and Oaks was sitting next to me on my bed... Jersi made a small little grunty-ish sound and Oaklee said, "wow, you're ornery!"

"Some grandmas have blue eyebrows, why is that?"

~Kyndi

"Don't worry mom, dead people are probably whiter than you"

~Tate

"Mom! There's an earwax bug in our house!" (an earwig)

~Kyndi

"It's so hot out here I bet even dead bodies are sweating!"

~Tate
(July '10)

How does Jersi even survive in there? She's never even had swimming lessons!

~Kyndi
(I had just explained in children's terms that Jersi is inside a bag of water in my belly)

Tate's Response:

"Don't worry Kyndi, I'm pretty sure she has gills"
