The ABC's

Here are some of the funny things that have happened over the last month, I can't believe how funny these guys are......you might not be as funny to you as it is to me, but I have to document it so I can remember these stories for when they get older!


I was driving to Caleb school a couple weeks ago (it was on a Monday and I have no idea what they were teaching my child in church the Sunday before.......ryan.....haha!) and we pull up to the school and Caleb bursts into tears! He was sobbing so hard that he could barely explain what was going on. He composes himself and tell me that he doesn't want to go on a mission!

Me: "Caleb, why don't you want to go?"
Caleb: "Because I don't want to leave you guys."
Me: "Well we have a while to go before you really need to decide if you would like to go or not."
Caleb:"What happens to me if I don't go?" Then he BURSTS into tears again. "I die, don't I?"
Me: (chuckling) "Caleb you don't die"

I then explained to him about what happens on a mission and why we go and that it is our choice but that Heavenly Father wants us to go. Then he looks at me and says:
"mom, can't my friend Dylan go for me instead?"



Preface: My brother (age 13) made Caleb a duct tape wallet for Christmas. (I guess it is like the coolest new thing to do, I don't get it) Well, it is Caleb's FAVORITE thing he got for Christmas. I think because it was made with love...haha

Cambree comes up to me the other day and says, "mom, there is something in my nose."
Me: What's in your nose?
Cambree: a green sticker
Me: Well come here, lets take a look
Sure enough, There was something up there. I have never had an up-the-nose experience, I thought to myself "my kids are so dignified, they would never do anything like that!" HAHAHA. Yeah Right! So I grab the tweasers, reach up and pull it out. Sure enough, a green sticker.
Me: How long has this been here?
Cambree: Just a couple days
Me: We don't stick things up our nose, that is not safe. Why did you stick it up there?
Cambree: I took it off of Caleb's wallet and I didn't want him to know I did it, so I am hiding it in my nose!

Well, smart girl. That is one place that I am sure that Caleb never would have thought to look!




We have been picking up a friend and taking her to school with us because her mom just had a baby. She is such an adorable girl and Caleb wants to marry her someday. Well, she is quite the chatter box. Here is a conversation that happened the other day on the way to school.
Abby: My dad has hair all over his body!!
Caleb: (I happened to look in my mirror and he had a very perplexed look, seeing how his dad is not very hairy) Well, is he a pirate?
Abby: um, NO!
Caleb: Well if he is not a pirate then he should shave it all off

I don't know why, but I thought this was SO funny!

There was not enough good packing snow to make a snowman......so they made a pre-historic snowman.....a dino-man! They used icicles from the cabin to make spikes on his back. So cute!
