(Posted for Marla.)

Jesse (running and jumping jubilantly into my lap): MOM! I'm ya LUCKIEST boy in ya WHIRL!!
Me: REALLY?? Why?
Jesse: Because Olivia SAID SO!


Olivia: Hey Mom, is Jesse an orphan?
Me: What? Uh, no. Why?
Olivia: Because his shirt says, "Want me."

I don't care who you are....Part III

That's funny, too.

Since There's No Obituary To Write

I noticed this hanging on Livvy & Jesse's wall the other day:

The back side of the chart shed some light:

There are few things I love more than dictating my shopping list to a six-year-old:

Jason & I took Olivia to a movie for her birthday.  She chose "Chipmunks, the Squeakquel" (or however you spell that).  When I got home, LaRee had taken the following phone message for me:

Me:  Hey, hon . . . . whatcha doin' there?

Him:  I want to read my book, but my arms are cold.

Me:  Awwww!  You need a snuggie!

Him:  What the heck is a snuggie?  Can I get back to my book now?

Me:  Sure!  *coughing so he can't hear the camera powering up*

And finally, while you're in the Scout Office, you can leave your kids in the car, and you can leave your camera in the car, but you really should not leave BOTH.

Funny no matter what side you're on!

I don't care what side you're on

You gotta admit this is funny.

Star Wars Paper Craft

Lois found these cool crafts for Talmage to do here. Talmage has been doing a lot of them and gets better all the time. I was amazed at these R2D2's. The blue one is still a work in progress. Click on the link to see how many tiny pieces he has to cut out and glue together!

Finally! I'm out in the sun!

Look what came in the mail from Cat...

Just for the sake of posting something

Make sure the sound is UP on this one.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Love you Mom!!

I Love It!

What a wonderful surprise! I can't think of anything I would have loved more! Thank you all so much!

The Sami Dance

Classy.

Nothing screams "professionalism" like putting the word "poop" in big, bold type on your invoices. I guess that's how they roll in Helper.

Tickling the Ivories

In case you missed this...

Paint Job Finished

The day after Christmas your dad was a man with a mission! He took down Christmas and spent Saturday and today finishing the paint job in the living room. Here are the results. We still have the trim to do, but that's another mission! Our best painting advice? Frog tape (thanks to Craig)!

A few things I think are v.v. funny

Mormon Singles Ward Twilight - beautifully filmed in NYC

Twilight Years from Tom on Vimeo.

Pride and Prejudice in Emoticons

And still my favorite Twilight parody: FIRELIGHT

Does this mean "Chicken Livvers" is out too?

Me: Livvy, you look sad. What's the matter?
Olivia (woefully): I'm the only one in our family with a food nickname.
Me: Uh, what?
Olivia: I'm the only one with a food nickname. It makes me feel like everyone wants to eat me!
Me: Um . . . what do you mean honey?
Olivia (now in tears): I don't like it when you call me (sob) Liver and Oniooooooooons!!!! It makes me (sob) feel like you're going to eat meeeeeeee!
Me (holding my breath so I don't laugh): . . . . .
Jaci: Hey Livvy, don't worry! Nobody here even LIKES liver and onions!

Conversations had while we made gingerbread houses yesterday:

Olivia:  Mom, are we redheads?
Me:  Nope.
Olivia:  Then why did we have furniture in our yard?
Me:  Do you mean rednecks?
Olivia:  Oh, yeah!  Are we rednecks?
Me:  Yep.

Me:  Jesse, Jamison has a new baby at his house!
Jesse:  I know!  It's his dog!
Me:  What?  No, a real baby!
Jesse:  Yeah, he has a baby dog!
Me:  Ok, but his mommy had a baby, too.
Jesse:  His mom had a dog?
Me:  Uh, no, she had a baby human.
Jesse:  Do they have to get rid of yat dog?
Me:  What??  No . . . now Jamison has a dog AND a baby!
Jesse:  Oh!  Yat is cool!

And finally, I found this typed up on the computer the other day:
