BLAKE: This happened a few weeks ago while Blake was still in Kindergarten...
Blake had the day off of school because there was an early release day or something, so I decided to plan a picnic at the park with a couple of Blake's friends and their moms. After being up for awhile, I realized that Blake hadn't gotten up yet. This is not usual, Blake is usually the first one awake. So I go into his room and find him laying awake in bed. Before I can say anything Blake looks at me with sad eyes and tells me he is sooo sick and there is no way he can go to school. So I put my "sad face" on (the whole time knowing that he is totally faking), and say, "Oh man, thats too bad because you don't have school today and we were going to meet Dallin and Seth at the park for a picinic today." "But if you are too sick I guess we will have to call and cancel with them." Right then he sat up with his hand on his head and said, "Wow, I think I am starting to feel much better." FAKER!! -May 2010-

ASHLYN: We were over in Boise recently for our niece Jaedyn's baptism. We stayed at Jenna's house while we were there. On Saturday, Jenna had Baylee take a bath, and just as they finished up Ashlyn joined them in the bathroom. Here is a conversation that took place between Ashlyn and Baylee (keep in mind they are both 4 years old and Baylee is naked cause she just got out of the bath)...
Ashlyn: "Hey Baylee, I see your ta tas."
Baylee: "Let me see yours."
(Ashlyn lifts her shirt.)
Ashlyn: "Here are my ta tas, but yours are bigger than mine."
Maybe its not as funny reading it as it was in person, but Jenna and I thought it was hilarious!

BLAKE: "You are the best mom ever, even though you are fat." -05/17/2010-

ASHLYN: The other day, Ashlyn was sitting down having lunch while I was cleaning up in the kitchen. Out of nowhere she takes a drink of pink milk and says, "Man, this sure is a good cup of Joe." HA! I'm not sure where she got this (probably from t.v.), but I just thought it was the funniest thing. I wasn't even completely sure what a "cup of Joe" is. (coffee I think, still not sure.) She sure is a funny girl!

ASHLYN: A few weeks ago Terry was eating an ice cream sandwich. Ashlyn came down the stairs and saw it. So of course she wanted one. Terry didn't want her to have one so he told her that they were treats for grown ups only. And that ended it. Well today, I was just talking to Ashlyn telling her how beautiful she is, and I told her she was going to be even more beautiful when she grows up. Out of nowhere she says, "yeah, and when I am grown up I can eat one of those treats that are black in the white and blue paper that daddy eats." I was totally confused. So me and Terry were thinking about it, then remembered that he told her ice cream sandwiches are only for grown ups. And yes, they come wrapped up in a blue and white paper. We thought it was sooo funny that she remember that Terry told her they were only for grown ups. Maybe you just had to be here, but we really thought it was funny!

ASHLYN: The other day at church, Terry and I were standing outside the primary room with our class, while waiting for the younger kids to come out. As the little kids started piling out, each teacher that came out stopped to tell us that Ashlyn was sooo cute during singing time. Each of them told us that they could hear someone's voice over the top of everyone else's. They finally realized that it was Ashlyn. So when we got home we asked Ashlyn to sing for us the way that she sings at church. When she sang, it was not singing at all. She was literally yelling the words. It was not cute at all. So I can only imagine what the the teachers think when she sings every Sunday!

BLAKE: The other day Blake went to his friend Dallin's house after school. When I went to pick him up, Ashley (Dallin's mom) said, "I didn't know Blake was allergic to peanut butter." I said, "He's not." She told me that for lunch, she was getting the boys some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and Blake told her he was allergic to peanut butter. So he convinced her to make him a turkey sandwich instead (his most favorite thing to eat). She didn't question his allergy cause if a 5 year old knows what allergic means, then he must really be allergic. When I told her he lied, she thought it was just histerical! Lets just say Terry and I are in big trouble, cause at 5 Blake is already a very good liar!! -5 years old-
