The kids were thinking of funny things for Nick to "make" Carson do. Like race car driving, playing the drums, shooting a machine gun. Corbin thought it would be funny if Carson put up his fists and pretended he was going to fight someone. So Corbin confidently said, "Put up your boobs!" Oops! He promptly learned the real way of saying it is Put up your Dukes!

When I picked Jaren up from pre-school I noticed that he had taken his brothers compass that I told him not to take. I have been working on being more patient so I decided to take a softer approach.

Looking at a timeline of photos. Owen said our wedding one should be before our family picture with him in it. I explained the wedding one was vertical and the family one was horizontal then jokingly told him, "besides you were born before we got married." His eyes got wide and confused. Then I said, "Just kidding."
September 19, 2012
Looking at a wedding picture and a family picture with him at age 1, Owen said, " I can tell you are older in that one (the family picture), cuz your face is wider and in your wedding picture your face is longer." The nice way of saying you gained weight!

Corbin asked, "Why we can't marry our sisters or cousins?" I said that you share the same DNA/blood. And if you have babies they might have problems. Corbin was satisfied. Owen looked confused, "Wait, what does the dad have to do with the baby?" I guess it's time for "the talk". . .
October 27, 2010
Owen had student elections at school today. When he got home he said, "Man I should have voted for Jordayn." I asked why. He replied, "She said she wanted to Go Green. That means less paper, and less paper means less homework!"

February 15, 2009

In a math lesson we did at home Owen started adding hundreds together. Beforehand I told him what we were going to be doing and he got really nervous and complained.

August 15, 2009
Corbin - We have been working on his letters. He and I were going over flashcards and got to the letter Y. I set it down and he looked at the picture and said, "yo-yo, that is a funny word.

August 10, 2009
Corbin - We have been teaching Jaren to use signs for a few words like "please," "thank you," "more," "all done," etc. We were driving in the car and Corbin was trying to tell me that Jaren wanted something.

May 1, 2009
Corbin - The boys used to be really scared of flies. So to ease their worry we named any fly we saw "Harry." Then when we would see a fly we would excitedly say, "Look, it's Harry the fly." We had been living at my parents for a month (in AZ). The boys were eating dinner and a fly came in the room and Owen said, "Look it is Harry!" Corbin got a big-eyed look on his face and said, "I didn't know that Harry followed us all the way from New Jersey!"

I love you so, so, so much. Thank you for all the gifts in the world that you have given me. . . and thank you for giving me my parents that are very kind." Wow.
February 10, 2009
Owen - At school Owen helped a little girl that got her shoe stuck in the mud. One of the teacher was so impressed that she nominated him for a "super citizen" award. I guess she was so impressed with Owen that she gave him a kiss. I asked if it was on the cheek. He said, "Yes, good thing it wasn't on the lips or we would have to be married." Then he giggled.
February 6, 2009
Owen - Friday morning I woke up and found Owen and Corbin in their room dressed alike and playing quietly. When Owen saw me he said, "I changed my mind about what I want to take to show and tell." He had been working on a Lego Star Wars ship that he made and wanted me to put it in a special box so it wouldn't break on the way to school. Surprised, I asked, "OK what are you going to take?" Owen looked at Corbin and said, "Him!" Cute!

Owen - Nick was in the Dominican Republic for work. When Nick called home and talked to Owen, he said that he had bought some dominoes for him. Owen got excited and turned to me and said, "You don't have to worry, Dad is bringing Domino's home with him for dinner." It's a game, Owen, not pizza!
January 7, 2009
Owen - I was trying to encourage Owen to write his numbers more clearly. As an afterthought I decided to review some of his recent writings and compliment him. I spotted a '2' and said, "Look, good job on writing your 2s right." Owen looked confused and said, "That's not a 2, it's a 6!" We laughed.

Corbin - Corbin had just gotten out of the bath and was getting his underwear on. I told him that he had his daddy's buns. He looked concerned and said, "Let me check," and walked over to the mirror. He smiled, turned around and said, "You tried to trick me. They're my buns, not Daddy's!"
May 10, 2009
Owen - Owen and Corbin didn't know how to swim yet (bad mommy), and they went swimming at Nick's parents when I wasn't there one weekend. When I got back I asked Owen if he had used floaties. He said, "No, and it was almost the last day of my life!" Then he smiled and said, "But it would have been a great last day, because I got to go swimming!"
May 1, 2009
Corbin - The boys used to be really scared of flies. So to ease their worry we named any fly we saw "Harry." Then when we would see a fly we would excitedly say, "Look, it's Harry the fly." We had been living at my parents for a month (in AZ). The boys were eating dinner and a fly came in the room and Owen said, "Look it is Harry!" Corbin got a big-eyed look on his face and said, "I didn't know that Harry followed us all the way from New Jersey!"
April 17, 2009
Corbin - I bumped my hip really hard and Corbin wanted to see my owie. I showed him. Then (pointing to my love handles and looking very concerned he said, "and that part is all filled up with blood."
March 2009
Corbin - Was trying to get my attention to look at a page he had just colored. He kept saying, "Look right here." I told him to wait just a minute. Finally he said, "Mom, did you like it?" I told him I hadn't seen it yet. Confused he said, "Why aren't you using your secret eyes in the back of your head?" I guess I had them turned off!
February 26, 2009
Owen - We had German Chocolate Cake for Nick's birthday tonight. Nick was excited and told the boys that Germans make everything good. Owen looked at Nick and said, "Then Mom must be German."
February 25, 2009
Owen - The boys wanted to look at our wedding album. I pointed to a page and told them that these were taken before we got married. Owen gasped and says, "You mean you and Dad kissed before you got married?"
February 13, 2009
Owen - This was part of Owen's nighttime prayer: "I want to give you a very special Valentine, but I can't because you are in heaven. That is why they call you Heavenly Father. I love you so, so, so much. Thank you for all the gifts in the world that you have given me. . . and thank you for giving me my parents that are very kind." Wow.
February 10, 2009
Owen - At school Owen helped a little girl that got her shoe stuck in the mud. One of the teacher was so impressed that she nominated him for a "super citizen" award. I guess she was so impressed with Owen that she gave him a kiss. I asked if it was on the cheek. He said, "Yes, good thing it wasn't on the lips or we would have to be married." Then he giggled.
February 6, 2009
Owen - Friday morning I woke up and found Owen and Corbin in their room dressed alike and playing quietly. When Owen saw me he said, "I changed my mind about what I want to take to show and tell." He had been working on a Lego Star Wars ship that he made and wanted me to put it in a special box so it wouldn't break on the way to school. Surprised, I asked, "OK what are you going to take?" Owen looked at Corbin and said, "Him!" Cute!
January 23, 2009
Corbin - "What are the places that people don't live?" Mom says, "Antarctica is one." Corbin looked confused and asked, "Is that someone's aunt?"
January 22, 2009
Owen - "Mom, do you know that the word 'Freedom' has a bad word in it?" I looked at him and asked, "what word?" He replies, "Dumb - get it, "free dumb"?" Followed by giggles.
January 9, 2009
Owen - Nick was in the Dominican Republic for work. When Nick called home and talked to Owen, he said that he had bought some dominoes for him. Owen got excited and turned to me and said, "You don't have to worry, Dad is bringing Domino's home with him for dinner." It's a game, Owen, not pizza!
January 7, 2009
Owen - I was trying to encourage Owen to write his numbers more clearly. As an afterthought I decided to review some of his recent writings and compliment him. I spotted a '2' and said, "Look, good job on writing your 2s right." Owen looked confused and said, "That's not a 2, it's a 6!" We laughed.
December 23, 2008
Corbin - I was getting dressed and accidentally got some deodorant on my black shirt. Corbin said, "Mom, that's OK, no one will know." Upon closer inspection he replied, "Um, actually they will know."
December 6, 2008
Corbin - I spent one night caring for Corbin as he was quite ill and throwing up a lot. I had been babying him quite a bit, and at about 4 am I was sitting by his bed and he looked up at me and said, "You can go get in your own bed!"
December 5, 2008
Owen - I was putting him to bed and he patted my tummy and said, "You look like you have a baby in your tummy!" ~Nice~
July 13, 2008
Nick and Owen were talking about heaven. Owen said that when he dies he is going to take his Legos with him. Nick said when you go to heaven you can't take anything with you. Shocked Owen said, "What?! So you have to buy all new stuff when you get there."
