This isn’t really news; we’ve always known she was funny. But she got me good today, and I had to share it.
I was changing Katie’s diaper, and she reached over to grab her blanky and her pants. I said, “Oh, you’re collecting soft things?”
So Amanda asks me, “Katie likes soft things?”
“Yes, Katie really likes soft [...]

I sure hope this isn’t blasphemous…

but it sure is funny. I don’t know where Amanda got the idea to do this. It’s not how we pray, and we haven’t been watching any evangelical preachers lately. I think she’s figured out that we think it’s funny, even though we try desperately not to laugh, and so she hams it up even [...]
Someone’s got mad skillz
Posted in kids, tagged climbing, kids on April 6, 2009 | 2 Comments »
It seems like Katie’s learning something new every day lately. Here’s her new favorite thing to do:
She feels like such a big kid, getting up on the couch by herself. She’s not always successful at it yet, though, and it makes her EXTREMELY mad when she can’t get up on her own.
She really likes watching [...]
Amanda’s new sports class

Mike and I decided several weeks ago, when the park and rec guide came around, that we should sign Amanda up for some classes at the community center. We decided to try her out on a once a week preschool type class, and then we gave her a choice for her second class: sports, or [...]
Katie’s new hobbies
Posted in kids, tagged kids on March 4, 2009 | 4 Comments »
I think she must be trying to decide on a career already. She’s developed some funny habits lately. Katie cleans up. She loves finding things and bringing them to Mommy or Daddy, or even Amanda. She picks up the remote control every morning and brings it to me, and she says ah? ah! It’s cute. [...]
Spanglish spoken here

Amanda has discovered the wonderful world of Dora the explorer. And Diego, of course. So last night, she tells us, “Soy Dora.” I told her that “Soy Dora” means “I’m Dora” in Spanish. Then I told her I would say, “Soy mommy.” Mike added in, “Soy daddy.” Amanda looked at us and thought for a [...]
Even more Amandaisms

I think I just got out of the blogging mode for a while. Probably doesn’t help that I’ve been working on writing a script for our ward’s roadshow, and figuring out exactly what it means to direct it too. I’ve never even been in a roadshow before, or directed anything, so it’s been an adventure [...]
More Amandaisms

Sorry, I know it’s been a while. We’ve been busy, what with 2 weddings, 3 birthdays, a bout of stomach flu, and this thing called NaNoWriMo – write a 50,000 word novel in a month. I actually found time to meet that goal, even with two kids and everything else that needed attention.
Here’s some funny [...]
Amandaisms – a moment of EWWW
Posted in kids, tagged kids on November 7, 2008 | 2 Comments »
This post is not for the fainthearted. Amanda makes all sorts of silly comments about things (usually having to do with the potty), and I saved them all up for this post. So if that is going to gross you out – I promise, they really aren’t that bad – you might want to skip [...]
