Slippery Fish

March 13, 2012
Lincoln has been coming home from Joy School with many songs that are new to him. The first time he came home he really loved the song 'Slippery Fish.' He has also fallen in love with a couple of others 'Walking through the Jungle..what do you see?' and 'Mr. Sun, sun, Mr. Golden Sun.' He really loves when he gets to sing. Thank you Dani for the songs you have taught him. I have a cute video that won't load but let's just say all the kids love the songs.

Caroline (with great concern): MOM! Dad doesn't have a copsume! I know he can be a boy fairy!

Problem solved, she is great at thinking outside the box.

Summer 2015

Henry: I wanna play skylanders.

Lincoln: well we can play because I'm wearing' my skylanders shirt.

Feb. 2015

Caroline saw Willie with his shirt off and told him he looked like Captain America. Willie felt good about the compliment. :)

Aug. 17, 2014

Caroline: "Minnie Nouse" = Mickey Mouse

"What da heck?"

"a play" = she wants to vacuum, sweep, clean whatever I'm cleaning.

March 2014

Henry: "How many times do I need to ax you mommy...? Fifteen!" He always says the number 15.

At 6:45 (before daylight savings) He would say 'Mom, it's sunny time.'

Parker and Lincoln say these things in reference to Mario Kart. "Grand Prix" with the x being what it is. Referring to a solo race Lincoln says "slolo race". They both love Yukon Ho a book about Calvin and Hobbs. They call is 'Yunkun Ho'.

July 2013

Speaking of his new gift that is a magician science kit.

I asked about his wand and how it was changing colors. "Is it just water?"

Parker: "Yeah I put tablets in there, not like real tablets but color tablets.

Summer 2013

Driving home on Sunday from Utah.

Henry: "I want Cars 2. I want Cars 2 Mom." Cars 2 goes in.

"I'm happy. I'm happy"

February 2013

Lincoln: "My bear has been silly, he needs to go to time out. My bear has been silly, I need to spank his bum and put him in time out." He spanks the bears bum. "I spanked his bum and he cried.

Henry: "My puppy is silly. I need to pank his bum." He spanks the puppy's bum. "I panked his bum."

March 24, 2013

After church today.

Lincoln: "Mom why are your legs brown?"

M: "I decided to paint them."

I was wearing black nylons. :)

From 2012 Summer Olympics

P: "Oh no Japan! I did not want Japan to be in six, but at least American came in first."

He also loved to say "Go Atlanta!" because he saw America written on the screen and thought it said Atlanta.

January 8,2013

I just put Caroline's hair in pigtails for the first time. Lincoln came over and said; "Caroline looks like a reindeer head."

October 23, 2012

Looking at the ad Toys R'Us.

Parker: "We could get the phone that plays angry birds or trains. We could get dad a smartphone OR we could get one for FUN just us. Mom can we get a smartphone just for fun?"

Me: "No."

Parker: "C'mon! Now we'll never get a smartphone!"

October 8, 2012

I was sewing and Lincoln was on the computer. I think he was checking to see if I was listening.

Lincoln: "If I don't get a hug right now I'm gonna go to jail. If I don't get buckled in you are gonna go to jail."

Sept. 26, 2012

Lincoln either has a plan or an idea. Lincoln was watching Parker put a marble down the marble run.

L:"Not a good Iplan buddy. Hey I want to do it."

A minute later..

P:"Hey guys not a good Iplan."

After throwing a little monkey up into the ceiling.

L: "Hey Parker I know how to do it. When I grow up I can get it."

Sept. 13, 2012

Henry uses a "W" in place of the "L"

"wook, Winken."

"stop it Wink." - I love when he shortens Lincoln's name.

"I wuv you."

"wawipop"

"Carawine" - This is one reason why we picked Caroline's name.

"Pwease."

Fall 2012

Henry says "Franchenchesco" for Francesco on Cars 2

Parker says: "omly" and "secondth"

August 2012

I take the boys to Willie's work and we look out the window and see the mountains.

Lincoln: "I see Colorado."

July 12, 2012

Lincoln was playing with a pin that we received from the hospital when Henry was born. He began reading it this morning as I was making breakfast, "It says Lincoln needs a treat."

Me: "It says Lincoln needs a treat? Are you ready for it?" I give him a kiss.

Lincoln: "It says Mommy doesn't get a treat."

July 8, 2012

One of Lincoln's favorite sayings; "I'm gonna trow you in the garbage."

More recently he has switched it up and will say "I'm gonna slap you on the neck."

He will be sweet too and give lots of love.

June 2012

After a trying day Parker said, "Mom, can you turn that frown upside down?"

Spring 2012

Teasing Parker one day I asked what we should name our little girl. I started naming off cities and States. Parker really likes the name Georgia and will mention that name frequently when we talk about the name of the baby.

Me: "Linc, what do you think we should name our baby girl?

Lincoln: "Um...Georgia Tech."

Spring 2012

Parker had a small beach ball under his shirt one day. Lincoln began patting the ball in Parker's tummy.

Lincoln: "Oh cute, hello baby"

A While Ago 2012

We finally got our water dispenser fixed by defrosting the freezer. Parker and Lincoln went to a birthday party on the same day.

Parker: "Best day in the whole world. We got our water working and we got party favors."

Simple joys in life.

May, 2012

Lincoln was holding a small bag of Cheez-its (not his favorite snack).

Lincoln: "These make my tummy funny and then I just laugh."

We had been talking about a family getting sealed in the temple and about baptism.

Lincoln: "I don't want to get baptized."

Parker: " But Linc you get to have the gift of the Holy Ghost and then He will say to you ,'Hi Lincoln.'"

December 15, 2011

We have some little cars from Cars 2 that the boys have been playing with. I asked if the light blue car was Finn Mcmissile. Parker said: "No, it's Finn McMickleson."

Surely Willie put this thought into them. When Willie came home he just laughed because he said he had never said it before. Phil Mickleson must always be on their minds.

November 27, 2011

Willie, Parker and I were laying under the Christmas tree to look at the lights.

Willie: "Can you smell the tree?"

Me: "Yeah, if you get close enough, here smell this." I broke a piece of the branch off

Parker: "I want to smell." He takes a nice sniff. "It smells like poop."

I thought it smelled like a nice Christmas tree but I guess it smells different to Parker. Willie couldn't smell because his nose was congested.

November 20, 2011

This morning Parker came in the kitchen after he woke up. He laid on the ground in his blanket and then sat up and said:

"Hey mom, I had a dream last night and Jesus came to our house."

I asked if he remembered any thing else from the dream and he said that Jesus didn't see his bandaid. Although, when Jesus left he did see his bandaid.

November 11, 2011

Lincoln was looking at a coloring book with the leopard from Tarzan (Sabor).

Mommy: "His name is Sabor."

Lincoln: "No! He not four. He a leopard."

Parker: "His name is Zebor."

Lincoln: "No! He a leopard."

Parker: "You're lyin'."

Lincoln: "He not a lion. He a leopard."

Parker: "You're lyin'."

Lincoln: "No, he a leopard. The Tiger is a leopard!"

October 10, 2011

It was raining today and the boys went outside in their rainboots. Parker lost a shovel and Lincoln had been talking about it. I told Parker to go grab his shovel and then I looked at Lincoln and said...

"and why are you all muddy?"

Lincoln looked at me for a second and then said "you need to go in the house." as if to say you should not have caught me mom.

October 10, 2011

Parker had just done well in something when Willie said, "This kid is on fire."

Last night Lincoln stayed up a little later than normal. He's still getting used to sleeping in a big bed. Willie went in their room to put some things away when he hear Lincoln jumping in bed. Willie went over to him and Lincoln looked up and smiled and said 'daddy.' Then Willie offered Lincoln some water. A short while later we hear a box of toys being dumped out. Lincoln was looking for 'queen' (Lightning McQueen), he couldn't sleep without him.

Dinner prayer for Parker.

"Heavenly Fadder. I have a pancake and I don't want to say da prayer. In the name of Jesus Christ amen."

May 14, 2011

Parker said the prayer at breakfast this morning. After the prayer Lincoln said "Is that a great prayer Parker?"

Parker said "Yeah that's a great prayer."

Later in the day Lincoln was playing the piano. Beating down on the keys he said "Is that a great song Mom?"

My reply "Yes, that's a great song."

I'm glad that everything can be great.

During a visit to the library we saw a rabbit, but Lincoln missed out.

I love the way Parker asks us to do something for him.

"Mom, are you going to open my drink?"

Before bed last night Parker said, "I need a drink of wagger, if I don't my heart will break."

January 9, 2011

Lately Parker has been using the phrase "no ideas."

He must have picked up on us saying "I have no idea."

At the dinner table Parker will ask a question and he'll answer, "no ideas mom."

He'll play a game and a start laughing saying "no ideas dad."
