What did you say?

So I wish I had the time to write down all the wonderful things my kids say but we are usually out or busy and I have a horrible memory. These are just a few random things my kids have said lately.

Jed
Let me first start by saying he doesn't talk much he can barely get a word in edge wise and when he does talk only the girls and I understand him. Until the last couple of weeks and all the sudden he says a few things. Here is a list of his new vocabulary.....
You're Rude Austyn, more like yooooo rooooood Austyn
Superman, more like uupermon
that's disgusting, more like tats disssustin
Watch Mom, more like otch mom otch
.......and he tries to repeat everything we say which is adorable.


Ausytn
Where to begin!
Mom: Oh shoot I need to make a U-turn.
Austyn in the very back seat: May Day, Watch out there is danger ahead.
Mom: How do you know that?

Austyn: Mom when are we going to have a baby?
Mom: I don't need a baby I already have three babies.
Austyn: Mom you don't have any babies.
Mom: What about Jed?
Austyn: He is not a baby he just can't talk good.

Austyn: Nobody likes me.
Mom: Honey everybody loves you.
Austyn: I know!

Austyn: McCaden don't do that or I will punch you in the face.
McCaden: It is my turn Austyn.(McCaden touches)
Austyn:(Punch)I told you not to touch it.
McCaden:(Insane Crying) Mom Austyn punched me in the face.
Mom:(Hugging McCaden and talking to Austyn) Austyn you know we don't hit it isn't nice blah blah blah.
Austyn: I told her not to touch or I would punch her in the face and she touched and I punched her in the face. (Like I didn't know what had happened, I love that Austyn doesn't know how to lie, YET)
Mom: (Austyn leaves and I look at McCaden) She did warn you!
McCaden: Laughs! Ya I guess.

For those of you who don't know, and I am sure most of you do Josh's mom was diagnosed with Lymphoma Stage 3 Cancer and is going through chemo right now. Feel free to click on Mom in my friends and family column and it will take you to her Blog and update you on her treatment and progress. Margo (Josh's mom) of course lost her hair and had planned to show the grandkids one Sunday so we talked to the kids and told them she would lose all her hair and her head would be bald like dads for awhile. When Margo showed the kids their were lots of cute innocent comments. She looks beautiful and it didn't bother any of the kids they rubbed her head and just stared. She explained to them that it would grow back after the medicine was gone. That night while putting Austyn to bed she asked, "Dad when Grandmas hair grows back will your hair grow back too?"
Josh: No my hair is gone.
Austyn: Why?
Josh: I wish I knew!

Happy Birthday Mom!

The things I think about every year on this day....
Has it really been five and a half years?
You would be 48, still very young!
I wish you could see my kids they are beautiful.
I wish I had your advice on how to raise them.
Your children miss you always.
You won't believe how big Jordan is.
You have the best daughter and son-in-laws.
What amazing work are you doing?
I don't even have a digital picture of you to put on my blog.
I look in the mirror lately and see a lot of your features looking back.
You were beautiful so I love that.
I love you!
There is so much more, but it hurts to reflect for long periods of time. Christ will comfort me until we meet again.
