Lance's Prayers

Almost every night when I help Lance say his prayer before bed, he'll change his voice once or twice right in the middle.  He has his normal voice which he starts with, and then sometimes his voice gets really high and soft like he's talking to a baby.  His most common voice change is an attempt at growling the words like a tiger.  You would just have to hear his impression, it's so funny!  It is hard not to laugh when I'm telling him to ask for help that the kids can be nice and do what mom and dad say and he starts growling the words as if to say 'yeah right dad, you wish!'

Jonas Brothers Legos

Kayla got to go to the Stadium of Fire and see the Jonas Brothers on the 4th of July while in Utah with Grandma and Grandpa Johnson.  She made a wish and she couldn't tell us what the wish was.  "But if I get to kiss the Jonas Brothers, then I can tell you that my wish came true."  After she got back from Utah, Lisa asked her "Hey Kayla, do you still like the Jonas Brothers?"  She said "They're not even real size!  They're just the size of lego people!"  Lisa had to explain that it's just because she was sitting so far away, as Kayla kept saying, "No really, I saw them, they're just like Lego people!"

What the Stomach Wants

When Garrett was too full to finish his dinner he said, "I'm full, my stomach isn't asking for anything."  Then when Tycen was asking to watch cartoons Garrett said, "My stomach is asking to watch TV!"

Kids make us DO the craziest things...

I got home from Girls Camp on Saturday afternoon, and I hadn't seen the kids for a week, since we left them in UT with Grandma and Grandpa Johnson. When I got home, they were all at Costco, so I hurried and showered and got ready to say Hi to them. When they pulled in, I ran out and started unbuckling kids and giving them hugs and kisses, then our neighbors were outside, so we went over there for a few minutes, and then on the way back to our house, Quinn said, "Hello?! Welcome Home!" I had totally forgotten to hug Quinn! I just laughed and said, "Oh, Quinn... I love you too!" Oops.

Which Ball Is Different?

Kayla was drawing some circles on her paper today and then handed it to me and asked "Which ball is different?"  I hardly had a chance to look at them, (although they all looked the same to me), before she took it back and said, "Wait a minute.  I'll give you a hint."  She drew something on the paper, and when she gave it back, there was an arrow pointong to one of the circles!
