Grandma's Visit

Okay, so I know this is a bit late (like over a month late) but it took awhile to get on the computer with my hubby hogging it all the time; JK Honey, I love you! So my mom came out August 4th to visit for a week. Unfortunately, she had a lot of business to do and a condo to find and buy so we didn't think we were going to see much of her. However, Zach's (my little brother) VISA had expired and he wasn't allowed to enter Taiwan until it was renewed; so they ended up staying another week (Zach had scout camp in Idaho and was with us for the second week). This was a bummer for Zach and my mom who needed to get back for school and seminary; but a blessing for us since we actually got to play a bit before they left. We had a lot of fun; especially going to the Children's Museum in Seattle and watching the play "Where's the Green Sheep". Our boys loved it!

My mom and I went to see Harry Potter #5 at the IMAX, very cool!!

We went to Olympia to have dinner with some of our relatives.

Hmmm...do we really want to get wet?

Mommy does!

All tuckered out!

JETTY ISLAND

We got stuck on Jetty Island for around 5 hours before we could fit onto the return ferry! We had fun but it was a LONG day.

Rolling down the sand hill with Uncle Zach.

Trying to be an ostrich??

Adolf the Ostrich (don't you wish you could know what's in kids minds sometimes?)

There were a million kite surfers there; it was fun to watch them.

SAYING GOOD-BYE

Playing Age...they had to do it at least once!

Josh could not be happier to be with his mom; goodness, what a grin.

Me and my "baby" brother!

Funny Things my Kids Say

Eph: When we both grow up and live next to eachother maybe when your mother (wife) leaves and my mother (wife) leaves I can sneak up and go to your house and we can play. Clay: Adults don't play and it's not your mom it's your wife.
Mom: Ouch, my foot is really hurting! Kai: You're still alive Momma.
Kai and I were going back and forth with the,"I love you to the moon, I love you to the sun, etc." I said, "I love you to Venus" and Kai responded, "I love you to the penis"...LOL!
Clay: Ephraim, why do you always copy me? Ephraim: Because I love ya.
Kai was playing with his train the other day and I overheard him saying, "You can do it Thomas" and of course I was thinking Thomas the kid's engine, and then I heard him say, " You can do it, Thomas Monson"...LOL!
Kai always sleeps in my bed. One day I asked him why he didn't like his bed and he said,"It's too fluffy."
Whenever asked any question from "What is your name?" to "What do you want to do today?", Kai always responds with "Quesadilla".
Kai spent a couple months calling everyone "boob-butt" (boob was taken from the recent Horton Hears a Who movie).
When Kai wants to be picked up he says, "Grab me".
All my boys sing the song Paradise City by Guns N' Roses...embarassing.
When you ask Kai his name he says "Coc-head"- he means coconut head.
In between Conference sessions they played the movie "The Other side of Heaven" and during the scene where the rats are chewing on his feet Kai yells, "Wake up Dude!"
Ephraim says' That's ridiculous!"
When I ask Kai anything he shakes his head violently and says, "No-no!"
Clay told me that he was making funny faces in his class and that the girls were laughing. I asked him if the boys laughed too; he said, "no, they got mad". He told me he likes girls better then boys because they're "pretty". Oh boy!
Clay had some food stuck in his throat and I told him to drink some water to wash it down. He said, "I think I need to use a screw to get it out"- OUCH!
I told Clay that if he ate all his veggies he would be big and strong like his daddy. He said, " Well, that's not strong enough".
Clay turned to me after a meal and said, "Thanks for making dinner Mom". Then he turned to Jon and said, "Thanks, Dad". Jon responded a bit surprised, "What for, I didn't do anything?" Clay replied, "For working". WOW!
Josh came over and was checking out our pear tree in the front yard and Clay put his face up real close to him and said, "Jesus made the pears, Uncle Josh." Josh said he felt like he was in church! HA HA
Clay was being a stinker and I told him to "please be more obedient Clayton Ryan" and he responded, "I'm not Clayton I'm Nephi" and my mom told him that Nephi would be obedient to his parents. So, after some thought he replied, "Oh, I'm not Nephi".
When they don't like a food the boys say its too "spicy".
When something is too hard for the boys to do they say its too "heavy".
My boys both say, "I don't want that ever ever again, so there!"
Clay informed me the other day that he also liked Momma's milk (like baby Kai). I told him that he drank cow's milk like Mommy and Daddy and after a moments thought he said "No, I just drink seahorse milk!"
