Rugrat Activities

Syd and Wes are doing cross country at school this year. We have quite the little runners on our hands. They are sure making us proud!
Wes at the starting line...

Wes crossing the finish line

He came in 13th place (out of 100 1st grade boys) and to qualify for the all city meet, you have to come in 10th or better. SO CLOSE Wes! You are SUPER FAST!

Blurry Syd

Good form!

Happy at the end of her meet. She came in 2nd out of 120 3rd grade girls. She goes to the all city meet next week.

We went to Greenbluff (pumpkin patch/fall activity place) and had a MARVELOUS time.
Coco found his pumpkin!

The pea pit. Dried peas makes for an AWESOME "sandbox." Want to set one up in my yard!

Syd stuffed with peas!

Stefani said...: Wo! Totally AWESOME! Wes and Syd. Running is great!

Gone are the days of photos at the pumpkin patch:(. I guess I coulda taken one of myself when I was there a week or 2 ago picking out some to put on my porch.

And I was totally cracking up at the things your kids say over on the side of your blog.

Love you guys!!; October 12, 2011 at 2:40 PM

Kid Talk

Landon said, "Mom, when I am dad, I am really going to miss living with you! And when I am a grandpa, I will be wrinkly and dry."
I asked Colton why he was rubbing his eyes and he said, "tear water keeps coming out of them."
Aaron won a game on his phone and Colton says, "Dad, I'm so proud of you!"
While listening to song lyrics, "And so we'll catch the world on fire" Landon says: "Mom, why would someone want to do this?"
I was sing along with the radio when I hear, Wes say: Oh man, mom knows the words to this song, that means its a REALLY old song!"
Talking about Pirates of the Carribean wii game, Wes says: "Will Turner is really cool" Landon, in his BEST British accent: "You mean Will Turna?"
After boiling eggs, Wes asked if we were going to eat the scramboiled eggs.
Landon: Mom, your eyelashes are all dirty. Me: That is my make up. It's called mascara. Landon: Oh.
Landon: "Wes, my brain is telling me I want a lick of your popcicle."
Colton: Someping, puter=Play something on the computer
Landon: "Mom, I have a booger stuck in my teeth!"
Landon: "My nose has a headache."
Colton: Funnit=Funny
Colton: Ketchup=shup
Colton: Wuv you.
Landon: Gutair-it=Target
While at the library, Landon saw a bunch of Elders (missionaries)in their suits, on the computers (P day) and says "Wow, look at all those wedding guys!"
During FHE we were thinking of compliments to say to each other. Wes says to Sydnie "You are the best sister I could ever ask for."
While watching MoTab sing Christmas songs on Youtube, Wes says: "They are all wearing the same thing, they must shop at the same place."
Me: "Landon, don't play with that, it's expensive." Landon: What is "Spankive?"
At Costco Wes asks: "Mom, how do they get all the stuff up so high on the shelves?" Before I could say forklift, Landon says: "Spiderman probably does it."
Landon: Stuck together= Stucky gether.
Landon: Good job on putting my shoes on my feet mom!
I was peeling potatoes and Landon asked if I was making potato heads.
Landon singing: Rock-a-bye baby in the tree honk.
Me: "Landon, you are SO demanding!" Landon (in the saddest voice possible): "I am not demanding, I am just Lando."
Our neighbors have a little Chihuahua. They told the kids to stay away from it because it bites. Wes is very scared of it and calls it the "female biting chihuahua."
Wes leans over to me in Sacrament Meeting and says "I'm filled with the spirit!"
Sydnie to me: Ms. Vigil (her teacher) was out sick today with a stomach ache. Wes: "Maybe she needs to go poo." (can you tell that is what he hears a lot, from me?)
After Colton sneezed Landon said to him, "bless you, Tiny."
