Rad Kids

Here is video of Kaylee's Rad Kids Graduation. Rad Kids is a personal empowerment and saftey program that all the first graders do at Kaylee's school. They teach everything from fire saftey to how to deal with bullys to abduction prevention.

"Daddy Said..." and Other Funny Things My Kids Say.

Andrew's new favorite phrase is "Daddy said". Such as "Daddy said gum" or "Daddy said candy". He uses it when asking for things I might say no to. A new interesting variation is "Jenny said..." Yeah, well Jenny's not the mom! And Daddy didn't say!

Andrew also asks all the time when the baby's coming out. "Baby come out five o clock?" "Baby come out 5 minute?".

During Sacrament meeting yesterday the speaker asked a question, the answer to which was, of course, "no". So what does Andrew say (quite loudly) "no-o". Fortunately only a few people heard and laughed. The poor speaker was probably wondering what he said that was funny. At least we know Andew was listening.

This is an old one that still makes me laugh. The kids have been watching a lot of TV lately because I've been laying on the couch sick. Maybe too much TV. I walked into the room one day and Kara asked "Mom, do you wanna get ripped?" What?! There's a commercial for a home gym that asks that question.

The other day, while deiving in the car, Kaylee was pushing back her cuticles and said "I'm pushing back my tenticles".
Don't kids say the funniest things?

Paid in Potatoes

Wes came home from work the other day with this. A 50 lbs box of Idaho potatoes. Turns out he saw a patient who was a potato farmer from Idaho. He said he couldn't afford to pay for his visit with money so he paid with potatoes instead. The doctor got 100 lbs and Wes and another NP each got 50 lbs. I don't know what I'm going to do with 50 lbs of potatoes because about a month ago I bought a five pound bag and we still have about half. But, I must say, it's pretty cool that they let him pay in potatoes. It even says on his bill "Paid in Potatoes".

Happy Halloween!

A Cowboy

All ready for Trick-or-Treating. It was an unusually warm Halloween this year. They didn't even need sweatshirts! I thought I was back in California (except that we didn't have to drive from one ward member's house to another).
