Hiking with Grandpa 3/09

We decided to go hiking with my dad across the street from his house. It was a beautiful day. Just the right temperature. The kids had a blast. We had a Riley with us. Of course we posed them tons and took lots of pictures. We also saw deer while we were out there. Hiking in the desert and we ran into deer and no rattlers. Weird! We will be sad when dad moves and we can't just walk across the street to go hiking. Sid - 9, Cait - 7, Sammy - 5, Davis - 3.

The Funny Things They Say

6/28/09 - As lots of you know Sammy is obsessed with the feel of satin, silk and other soft things in his fingers. Sunday on the way to church Caitlin and Sammy had this conversation. "Sammy stop!" "No, just hold still!" "No, get your own skirt!" "IT's not a SKIRT, it's a BLANKET!!!" He was rubbing her skirt between his fingers. Caitlin hates it. It drives her crazy. He has a skirt that he claimed when he was one years old. But, it's NOT a skirt!!!
3/9/09 - Davis had a cold at the beginning of the month and with it a really bad cough. He was standing in the kitchen and coughed and said, "That was loud in my mouth!"
3/09 - We were out camping for spring break. We were all sitting around the campfire and the kids were talking about how they would rather die over another. Anyway, Morgan said she would rather die one way and her dad said, "How do you know which one, have you died before?" Morgan said, "I'm like a cat. I have nine lives just like a cat." Without missing a beat Caitlin said, "Cats don't have nine lives when they go out into the street!" She has seen that a lot on the long drive to school I guess.
3/1/09 - Davis says things funny. Disgusting = beeskusting. Backyard = back a yard. Orange Juice = orange milk.
1/24/09 - We went up North to Snowflake this last weekend. While there we went on a little hike. This is the first time that Davis has been out around cactus. The whole time he would be careful not to step on one. When we get back to the truck he looks at me and says," You have cactus in your nose!" Apparently the sun was shining on my nose hairs. "No, it's hair." "No! It's cactus." Then he tried to touch them and see if they were SHARP! Embarassing, but funny!
1/09 - Sid and his friends were watching 'Jumper' and were at the part where the character robs the bank. Well, Sid looks at his friend in disgust and says, "Some robbers are so stupid. Why Rob a bank to pay for what you want when you could just STEAL what you wanted!!"
12/08 - After Christmas I decided to go thru all of the toys and rid ourselves of the junk. Well, I was going thru one of the bins and Sammy comes in as I am nearing the bottom. He was in a panic trying to get that ONE LITTLE item. I told him, "No, it's garbage." While hanging over the edge of the bin at his waste I say, "Oh, my gosh! Your a garbage collector just like your dad!" Without skipping a beat he says, "YES I AM!!!!"
1/09 - Sammy was watching his Uncle Justin put together a small boat and said, "Your getting old, that's why your shaking!"
