Lyrics to Jungle Bells:

Dashing through the snow
in a one horse open sleigh
Over the hills we go
laughing all the way
Bells on bop-tails ring
makings spirits bright
Ol McFarm it is to sing
a sleighing song tonight

So does Pyper (our parakeet) just go potty on the newspaper in her cage?

Kyndi was asking when Kamron will be home and Oaklee got all huffy and said

"Daddy Oaming!" (Translation: Daddy is in Wyoming!)

A conversation my family (mom, dad, me, my brother, my sister) had at a restaurant yesterday before taking James to the MTC.

My mom wanted a picture of us all sitting in the booth. She wanted one of the servers to take it for us.

Dad: Sharli grab that young man when he walks back this way
Sharli: I don't wanna grab a young man
(laughter, and Sharli blushed)
Mom decided to explain to Sharli: There's more than one way to grab a guy, Sharli.
(More laughter!)
All of this was said in total innocence of course.. but as each comment was made we just laughed harder.

A few minutes later my dad got the attention of the 'young man' and asked him to take our picture. (He was too busy)

James: Dad grabbed that boy!

Hilarious!!

Kyndi's lyrics to "Holly Jolly Christmas"

Oh Ho the Mistletoe hung where you can see,
Somebody waits for you
Gizard once for me

"Hey Mom, that song says Dayton's other name, 'Gizard'"

Today Tate and I were having a name calling match for fun, and the best insult by far was when Tate called me "A Festival of Dead Butterscotch"

Tate and I passed a food joint today and the sign said "Voted Best Sandwich in Utah" and Tate said "That's pretty good! When I'm 18 and get a license to vote, I bet I'll probably vote for them too."

"Oh Shit"

~Oaklee (After totally cracking up over this statement, we learned she was saying "Oh Shirt" which would be her shortened version of telling us "Oh oh, I just spilled on my shirt")

"Is anyone famous buried here? Like that Snow White guy?"

(He meant Lorenzo Snow)

We were at my parent's house last night and my mom found a snake in the driveway and tried to pick it up... Here is Kyndi's take on the event...

"At first Gramma thought it was a rubber snake but then when she picked it up, it growled at her."

~Kyndi

June 21, 2009

My mom did try to catch it, and it hissed and tried to strike at her... turns out it was a baby rattlesnake.

...Tate read a McDonalds sign that said "Drive-thru open 24 hours"...

"Don't believe it mom, 24 hours would be a whole day and a night. The sign's not telling us the truth. Don't fall for it."

Tate informed me this week:

"The word 'info' is so annoying.People should just say what they really mean and say 'information'! I mean it really isn't that hard to say a little bit longer word you know?"

Morrissa and Kyndi have a TV for their room so they can watch dvd's. However, the dvd player stopped working and Kamron took the whole thing apart to fix it but found that the laser was un-fixable...

Kyndi: "Kamron you need to fix our laser for our dvds"

Kamron: "I can't fix it"

Kyndi: "Um, hello! You're the plumber around here, not us!"

June 15, 2009

I took Tate Kyndi and Oaklee to the dentist the other day. The nurse-lady took each one to the x-ray thingy to get x-rays of their teeth. When it was Oaklee's turn she sat up in the chair and the lady put the little black x-ray piece in her mouth and explained to Oaklee that this machine was gonna take a picture of her teeth.

Lady: "Hold still, I'll count to three and it'll take a picture of your teeth. 1, 2..."

Oaklee: "Cheese!"

June 11, 2009

Me: Whay does it smell like gasoline in here?

Kyndi: Oh, that's cuz Oaklee just farted.

"Oh oh mom, I ate the fruit loop hooker!!"

~Kyndi

April 24, 2009

(She had made a fruit loop necklace and there was a fruit loop acting as the clasp, tying the two strings together. Appparently she ate this one.)

So Tyson is at that age where it is funny to say "Yo Mama" at the end of anything somebody says to them... it gets said quite a bit around here. Tyson started it, now Tate says it too...

But here is a recent conversation in my house:

Me: Oaklee go get me a diaper please

Oaklee: Uh Mama!

(then she laughed like "I'm so funny!!")

"Mom, does that have alot of fat calories in it?"

February 2009

When Tate was 3 I had him and Kyndi in the back seat of my car along with a big ol' basket of laundry. (We had just done laundry at my mom's) We turned a corner and the laundry all spilled out. Tate in a panicky voice said:

"Mom, we got a prollem back here"

Me: "I know, the laundry spilled out"

Tate: "No mom, there's boobs back here!"

Apparently my bra spilled out too.

2005

Today I was boxing up baby clothes that no longer fit (how do they grow out of them so fast??)

I was writing on the boxes and speaking it out loud as I wrote: "Boy, Premie to 3 months" Kyndi had a pencil and was writing too and she repeated what I said:

"Boy, Creamie to 3 mumps"

Kyndi: I wanted play doh too but mom said I couldn’t and made me put it back
Me: What?
Kyndi: My mom said no so I had to put it back.
Me: Kyndi, I’m your mom
Kyndi: I know but my mom wouldn’t let me have play-doh
Me: You mean your dad?
Kyndi: ya

…A few minutes later…
Kyndi: Dad, when we get home will you let me watch Mama Mia cuz my mom doesn’t have that movie.
Me: Kyndi, I’m your mom not your dad.
Kyndi: I know, I’m talking to my dad
Me: He’s not here.
Kamron: Are you talking to me?
Kyndi: No my other dad. Dad, can I?
Me: Kyndi your dad is at home, its me, your mom, in the car, and Kamron and Tate.
Tate: Ya Kyndi go to sleep or something, you’re totally confused
