Audrey Funnies

Lately Audrey has been curious about the Freeway. Every time we are getting on the Freeway she asks, "Mommy, is this the Freeway?" The other day we were on our way to my mom's house. We exited the Freeway and got on the Highway. Audrey asked, "Mommy, are we still on the Freeway?" I said, "No, now we are on the Highway." As we exited, the ramp went up a small hill. When we came down off the hill Audrey asked, "Mommy, is this the Low-way?" I chuckled to myself. Kids say the darndest things!

I was getting Audrey ready for bed the other night. She looked at me and said, "Mommy, my back has a headache." I laughed.

The other day Audrey and Alex were playing with an air pump they had found in my Grandpa's shed. I walked into the room and said, "What are you guys doing?" Audrey said, "We're just blowin' ourselves up!"

Lately Alex has been obsessed with Toy Story & Toy Story 2. When we went to Disneyland we bought him a Buzz Lightyear toy. When Jeff and I came home from our cruise I noticed that Buzz had "Alex" written on the bottom of his foot. If you've ever seen the movie you'll know that the little boy, Andy, writes his name on the foot of all his favorite toys. Audrey had helped Alex write his name on Buzz. I thought it was so cute!

Alex Funnies

The other night Jeff was changing Alex's diaper. He said to him, "When are we going to get you potty trained, Bud?" Alex looked at him and said, "Potty twain....Choo Choo!" It is so funny how their little minds see the most simple things completely different than we do. I had never even grouped the phrase "potty train" with the phrase "freight train" before...go figure!

I had just started to sing "Rock-a-bye baby" to Alex the other night when he looked up at me and said, "I not a baby". It made me laugh. From then on he made me sing, "Rock-a-bye big boy"!

Last week we went to church with my mom because the boys were at the U.S. Open. As we walked into Sacrament Meeting, a man on a motorized wheelchair rode by. Alex pointed to it and yelled, "Tractor". Alex LOVES tractor rides with Grandpa Dean. He gets so excited when he sees a tractor or anything that slightly resembles one. We all got quite a kick out of it!

Last week the kids and I went in to get our annual flu shot. Audrey decided she wanted to go first and get it over with. Alex watched the whole process take place. Audrey cried a little bit. When it was Alex's turn, I stood him up on the table to pull his pants down. He looked at the nurse and said, "Don't hurt me!" Needless to say he was pretty heartbroken when she hurt him anyway!

5/22/09-Everything with Alex is a battle these days. It was time to brush his teeth the other day and he threw a fit as usual. I told him that if we didn't brush his teeth they would all fall out! He looked at me and through tears said, "Then the Tooth Fairy will come and bring me money!". I guess I lost that one!

4/1/10-The other day I told Alex, "I love you to pieces". He lauged and said, "No, you love me together".

4/1/10-On Tuesday we found out we are going to have a baby girl. Audrey was so excited, but when I told Alex, he cried. He told me he wanted a brother and not another sister. I felt bad and told him I didn't get to choose and that Heavenly Father got to decide. That night Jeff was putting him to bed and he said,"Boys are the best. Except mom. She's the best too." I thought it was cute. Hopefully he will be able to love another sister :)
